I've heard of people re-painting their bikes so they look nasty to deter thieves

My brother says "sometime in May" he'll be coming out to buy my car and make a taxi out of it (his current taxi is nearing the maximum mileage allowed, 300K). I drove *today* a little bit but I dind't have to (but I wanted to carry two bikes at a time).

Not saying I won't buy another car ... just not right away... looking forward to that little refund from the insurance company.
