Hi John, Man oh Man, am I happy for you! Congrats on finding your bike in basically good shape!
Though I'm a grown old man, I have to admit I would be a heart broken little kid if my 750 were stolen. There have been at least 6 attempts to steal mine that I am aware of.
One attempt was stopped by the CEO (of all people) at the place where I work. I had a wheel lock on the rear wheel (one of those U shaped bicycle type locks that goes through the shock absorber, spokes, etc.) and was inside the fenced compound at work. The CEO saw two men grabbing the bike and starting to lift it off the ground. They had a van outside the fence with its side door open and were going to lift it and put it in the van. He yelled at them, "What the hell are you doing?," they put the bike down ran to the van and split.
Now, I use the rear wheel lock and always chain to the fence post at work and I chain it to an "I" beam at home in an apartment complex that I live in. The chain is VERY thick linked and is made of what is called "PreStressed" steel. I remember when I bought the chain, they actually had difficulty cutting the links with a hydraulic actuated cutting press. I feel better about things now with the chains that I have.
Anyway, very glad to know that things have come to a good conclusion for you......
