OK... I read Deanna's post about her DH bike and parts being stolen... SO glad to hear her DH found it and the police were able to catch the SOB!

So my question is have any of you etched your DL# into your frame? I know if my bike got stolen I'd have to seriously consider placing a homeowners claim to replace it... I'm actually looking to buy a "throwdown" bike to ride to the coffee shop... so if it gets stolen I'm not out big bucks... plus it would give me a "jeans and Tshirt" type ride for when I visit the nieces and nephew...

that being said, what IS the best way to protect your stuff? Anybody have any good suggestions???
