So does anybody here practise the old trick of permanant marker theft proofing?

nope

nope cause autosol removes the black pen ....

I'm not talking about detering theives, I am talking about making a bike look less valuable than it is.

throw it in a muddy puddle that should do the trick.......

Bit hard if its a full suspension, considering the price of them. If it looks like a full susser its probably gonna cost a lot

Why not buy a £80 disposable heap of shite, for leaving outside places where there is a fear of it getting pinched.

Put a sign on it,

"stealing this bike will forfit your breathing priviledges.
Wanna Bet your Life ??"

That'll make them think twice :)

I theft proof my black pens by not lending them out willy nilly.

Dylan, r.e. the pile of sh1te ruse - I'd have thought you'd be more up for filling the seat tube with Semtex and a remote detonator and letting the buggers nick it!!
