I keep my bicycle not only in my house, but in my room--my locked door is harder to get through than the front door, and my student housing is such a crack shack I'm thinking and thief crazy enough to think there might be anything valuable in here would give up shortly after they fell through the hole at the top of the stairs.

If the bike's in my van, I cover it with a blanket.

If for some reason I take it to campus, it enters every classroom with me, and you'd better bet I drag that thing into the bathroom, too!

Sucks that you have to be so paranoid... I've had a bike stolen before and it's just terrible. I was a kid and it was my only way to get to school.

The bike I actually commute with is probably worth about $10. I don't even lock it half the time, half-hoping someone WILL take it off my hands--but then I remember I paid a good $20 for the fenders and try to hold onto it.
