That's exactly what happened (they stole the wheel, too, though). In
this neighborhood, I thought just locking the frame would be enough.
I feel stalked.
They even left some small change. The put the trunk that was on the back
and politely lay it on the ground, out of the way, so it wouldn't be run
over by a car.
The seat is still there.
I don't know, I live in Marin. We have different types of thieves here.
Maybe they'll give it back, and they're just borrowing it?
With a name like Moon Crater, I can ask these sorts of questions.

Stealing the fork is rather unusual. Most thieves go for the easy to
remove
parts like wheels & seats. To steal the fork, the thief would need a
decent
sized tool kit and the know-how to remove the fork (disconnect the
brakes,
disassemble the headset, etc.).
It's sort of like somebody popping the valve cover off a car to steal
the 10mm
nuts used to adjust the valves.
Amazing.

Actually, a temporary knee injury, and then the weather precluded any
bike riding as of late.
And then I moved my moutain bike (daily driver, until the knee probs),
from the alley to the car port, as per my father's suggestion that it
would be wise to keep it out of the rain, and two days later, the front
fork was stolen.
This is cruelty to humans.

You are riding your bike to work? Right? No
pollution, no cruelty.
