A little about me...
There used to be more here but we all lost so much on 3/11. Placeholder: This Sifter is a citizen-soldier with a commercial pilot's license and a degree in history. I live in the best city of the world's third best country: Montreal, Canada. I am a pillar of Sift, but unsung, since I make too many comments that are cryptic and baffling and not enough that are zesty and sexy. I submit an awful lot of music, much of which takes a year to get sifted, because you are all philistines.

The comments above make a lot of sense re: the visible camera thing.

That said, and moving on, this video struck a chord for me since I had my bike stolen here in Montreal... FOUR HOURS after I bought it. It was a nice new Schwinn, came out to $400, and because both wheels were quick-release I bought a 10-foot cable lock (I know, I know -- now) so that I could secure the frame and both wheels to whatever I was locking up with (I planned to leave both wheels in their usual places). I went to meet my friends at Cheers downtown, my bike was locked to a bike rack about 20 feet from the door, and it was about 10 PM on ladies' night so there was a line of people outside at all times. I even took the removable seat with me. We came back out again a little over an hour later and the bike was gone. We found the cable lock in a nearby alley, snipped. It fucking sucked, and the lesson to you Rudi is don't trust cable locks.

Later that week I went and got a less good bike (a Raleigh) and a more good U-lock. I also tore all the decals off the bike and generally made it look kind of ghetto so that it wouldn't look tempting. Nobody's swiped it yet. And I have a spare Schwinn seat in case I ever lose the original, hahaha.... ha.

Excellent, I've supplied you with a target.

Uh, no, do not get. But if it appears here I'll exercise my first downvote!

I don't get it - do you?

I'm just randomly firing off this question into the Sift ether.
