I have a Trek also - never leave it about & have 3 cable locks for the two bikes + U locks as needed........plus have a car bike rack that can be secured/locked.....

While I have heard of of only one theft I'm sure they do occur more frequently....one time we rode down to the local market held about a mile away fro our house....we pulled in & I noticed a man in a truck that had started up to leave the parking lot about 100 feet away stop the truck and lean against the back of it when we pulled in & parked the bikes....my wife really wanted to go with her shopping but I felt it not safe to leave the bikes - I initially started to walk but then decided to I stayed with them....he stood and watched - once it became apparent she had left to shop and I wasn't going anywhere he got back in his truck - started up - backed out and drove away.....there's no doubt in my mind we would have walked back home......

Tell your frind to watch the 2nd hand CM on FB and other resell ads....but I think he's out of luck.....someone knew what they were grabbing....let's face it no one is going to get challenged riding a bike down the street.....

that's why it's called trivia......

Yes....it's family - I believe throwing buckets of money is a huge mistake.......we do it by shopping for needs that can help that they know they need - groceries - supplies....kids clothes + we buy some stuff for Mama & Papa (more gift like).......

They never ask for anything - last time down we took Mama to Big C and bought her a brand new fridge....the old one was clearly on it's last legs and the door wouldn't seal.....we never said a word about it since because face might possibly be involved and don't want to one up anyone - just make life a little better for good people......

I've also been looking at a good washing machine to upgrade their old two drum type & thinking about a hot shower water heater as they all enjoy the hot showers here when they come up our way.....that I would like to install to make sure the wiring and grounding is correct.....

As for money, if asked, I'd adopt what I did for my kids in the US.....some was for impromptu "gift" purposes (probably not a real good idea here away from kids)....but if money were needed it was given as a loan with a promise to pay back - I handled it more like a credit limit more than anything else with no time frame - out of 4 only one paid back and most of the time the others never acknowledged receipt or gave a thank you......the other 3 would contact the "good" daughter (unfortunately no longer with us) and ask - hey - how can we get more money out of Dad????? She tell them - "it's easy - just do what I do - - - - pay him back" - end of conversation......
