I definiltey have a plan for a better lock. it wasn't possible to fit a D-lock to the frame of my old bike, so i didn't always take one with me. fortunately my old bike was pretty cheap anyway.
Ah - Didn't realize it was taxes/import duties. Makes sense

I'm glad you have a plan - just had to check I use a mini U lock and a cable lock with the theory that most thieves don't carry tools to cut both. Not sure how well that holds true, as my bikes are never locked for very long or in really high theft areas.

I've heard London is bad about theft....
