I've always wondered about this scenario... you know when you buy something from someone here and they send it via USPS for example. Their return address is usually on the package. Now what if a newb who has bad intentions go to the FS forum, then "hunts" for someone local, dibs on an item, pays for it, and when the package arrives, he gets this guy's local address. Sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't put a return address anymore. Has this ever crossed anyone's mind?

most post offices will not ship a package without a return addy!!!!

Sorry to hear about this Jon!

but i have to ask....

does this mean that Thrusterdreamer won't be listing the same 5,6,7 threads of stuff anymore???   


its a joke.....so no hate mail please

Edit: There should be a feature to list your bike here anonymously.

edit: I mean, if you go to an art museum, there are plenty of privately owned pieces on display, but they do not advertise who owns what.

I like it....

Adding: No user name came up.


I would add my bikes there.

You work in the home/workplace security biz?


What do y'all think? Would this cable be easy to hacksaw through?  Maybe a 20ft cable to run through a number of bikes (inside). ...

Hailing from the makers of The Club steering wheel lock, this flexible steel cable measures 20 feet long, allowing it to secure most outdoor items.
Yellow finish for high visibility
Weather-resistant vinyl coating
Tough 3/8-inch cable
Each end is open to fit a wide variety of padlocks and utility locks
Can secure items to trailers, truck beds, luggage racks, etc.
Long enough to secure most ATVs
Also great for grills, patio furniture, ladders, lawn mowers and anything around the house

I think these cables work well against bolt cutters, but not very well against a cut-off wheel. Determined thieves are hard to discourage.

That totally sux!! Got me checking all my cameras

If there is a way to give a heads up what to look for, I'll keep an eye out as well

Hell yea!  Anon uploads!!! Museum can finally behold my 24k solid gold pft with forged platinum cranks

This pertains way outside bikes.  I have an alarm/camera on my shop but that's to keep honest thieves out, somebody wants they gonna try.  Off-site storage and showing others where it's at... I don't know about that.. I would be uneasy showing people my stuff in that scenario compared to someone looking at some parts in my driveway, etc.. selling somebody something is one thing, but rock star access to the stash is another.

sorry to hear that.

I keep all of my bikes and frames chained together in my apt with chains so thick they'd need a torch to cut through (and I dont have a torch ). Plus I have an alarm that will wake the whole neighborhood

I'll say it again, theres a reason many people dont list their bikes here. These same people always seem to get some chump yapping them about not having any bikes here.... no one needs to know a damn thing about what you have.

people in this hobby seem to either be totally cool or a complete scumbag loser, no in between.

Hah hah, "in between" ain't real chill either !! ; )

Everyone wonders why I don't upload tons of picts (to the TN guys ) of my collection or bikes I score for that matter.  If I did,  this would prob happen to me. Of course they would need a big truck, bolt cutters, and alarm knowledge ROLF but still...  I don't post much of anything here or anywhere....   Chances are it was someone who seen a bike or two online or new you most likely:(
