Yeah I know a few people with the same story. Be sure that your homeowners/renters policy covers your bikes. A friend found out the hard way that having her bike stolen out of her car was not covered by her auto policy.

I still think that inside the car/van is the best way to secure a bike. If your vehicle is going to be out of your sight, try to make sure your bike is out of sight (in the trunk with both wheels off or toss a blanket or cover over in a van or wagon).
