So how did your recovery go down? I'm sincerely interested in your story. You can leave any identifying info out of it. I'm interested in the process.

I left a small bag with an iPad in it at a park once. realized about 10 min later, was on my commuter hub drive. Rode back quickly, gone. find my showed it moving down a nearby street slowly. rode there, didn’t see anyone. looked harder, saw an elderly chinese American lady. approached her cautiously and asked if she saw a bag. she ignored me. I rode 20’ in front of her, got off the bike, and asked again, more directly, pointing at my phone. she said ohhhhhhh bag, opened up her large satchel type bag, removed my small one and gave it to me.

no idea what her intentions were.

A $165 helmet was stolen off a bike handlebar, with a $65 light mounted on top. There were a dozen stoned hobos close by. Two weeks later my friend who owns a coffee shop asked me if I wanted a helmet that was left at her place. It was mine. The one they took. I sanitized it. I didn't eat that pup. He saw me riding and started wagging. I came up and he jumped into my arms and wanted to be flipped again and again upside down with his belly rubbed and set down again, his name is Brody.

Hi there. I've taken out an insurance policy for about £5 per month. Then, on the insurance companies recommendation, went out and bought a gold standard bike lock. I've also got an air tag in the bike frame as well.

I got this flyer for this new longer lock, I emailed them with some questions I had on these lock ie;
can two of them be locked together for a longer lock and can they be keyed alike?

The old time Honda type of handlebar lock, turn 90* and lock with a key, and with disc brake locks front and back, a standard paddle lock locked around the top/bottom chain behind the crank and before the derailleur, kill switch for the battery.
Just used for temporary quick stops/grab a quick bite to eat while watching the ride, or for something to drink etc.
ymmv

If you don't have any disc brake locks, I found that Master trigger locks (meant for firearms) work on the brake rotors along with a cable lock. I also have an Abus Granit XPlus 540 230mm u-lock. The more deterrents the less likely a thief will consider your bike.
