Sorry about your loss. Speaking of ways to keep your bike safe, my uncle had a great one. He left his Harley out in the open under a tarp. No thief was getting it. Reason why? The massive lock run through one of the holes drilled in his brake rotor, only noticable after you tried to move it 3 feet. There was no room to get bolt cutters in there, either. Somethin cheap yet effective.
