I've only had two bikes stolen, and got both of them back. I rarely ever leave my bikes where I can't keep an eye on them... even when locked, through both wheels and the frame, to a pole that can't be lifted over. On my most expensive bike, a mountain bike, that I no longer ride much, I replaced the quick release seat clamp with a bolt, making it harder to get my seat and post with just a flick of the quick release. Feel bad for you man, that was a great lookin' bike... hopefully you'll get it back, good luck PB Pete!
