Got two bikes stolen, again. I honestly can't count the number of times I've had bikes or bike parts stolen in the US. No big deal, but sad

I got into the habit of using 2 U-locks, one for the frame and one for the front wheel. In this setup it's the back wheel, saddle, etc. that get taken. Or sometimes they just cut the U-locks (which is no easy task)

https://lockitt.com/pragmasis-protector-19mm-chain.html … Heavy but no one without inhuman strength can cut it with a bolt-cutter. Even most angle grinders will take time to cut through this chain which deters most thieves.

I doubt it's any different outside small villages etc, anywhere in the world.

Might also want to consider the cable that goes across both wheels and then into the U lock. Something like https://www.amazon.com/BV-Security-Double-Braided-Padlock/dp/B071ZR3RQ6/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=chain+u+lock&qid=1599096184&sr=8-3 … Bike theft insurance was surprisingly cheap and easy in India. Not sure how its here

it can also go through the saddle with models rhat have a hole (after removing it from the tube) and even the helmet... That was my setup in Marseille, it worked. 1 sturdy U lock and 1 long cable.

Were the bikes in a secluded area? Day or night time?

Add a $30 frame-lock from Abus for rear wheel, OEM equipment on all bikes in Scandinavia, almost impossible to break/cut. Use the saddle Kryptonite cable to secure the saddle permanently to frame. + $30 MC disc-lock w/ alarm on front wheel disc or spoke

Thiefs now use $100 construction nail guns with 22lr cartridges to blast open U-Locks. Takes 5 sec to crack one. Best to stick with one chain at least + frame-lock on rear-wheel + disc-lock.https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/fastest-way-to-open-a-bike-lock.26648/ …

Sorry to disappoint you, but picking a bike lock is an easy task. Check the LockpickingLawyer channel on YouTube.
