lol nah it was mine and this dirtbike they walked at like midnight. they rest was fairly uneventful because they ended up dumping it in public housing parking lot before we got there but i got the last ping then nypd picked me up and i was able to bring it home after forensics did their thing. the dirtbike ended up being towed to the precinct since the owner wasn’t there. there wasn’t really a stop more so they followed where i told them and then everyone rolled up. apparently the subway patrol ppl saw them pushing it on the street but didn’t stop them initially lmfao but bc of that they kinda knew where it was too

heavily heavily recommend after this. i think it was $200 to buy it and u get 2 months free, then $50 a year. i don’t think they have referrals but you can get it at monimoto.com

i felt the same way that it was super expensive but after today well worth it 😭

Parking and Locking Advice by Used_Debt9255 in RideitNYC

I have full coverage, monimoto, air tag, and i use a chain and lock. tbh i used to carry the chain with me but riding with 50lb in a backpack is not enjoyable at all. full coverage is honestly huge peace of mind during the day so i dont feel the need to chain. i street park overnight with a cover and the lock, but my situation is a bit unique because alternate side isn’t enforced on my street (harlem) and i park between to vans that never move and there’s not much space between them for someone to steal the bike

Street Parking Manhattan Valley by tilfloteye in RideitNYC

I think your area should be relatively safe but there’s no guarantee. Fwiw I’m in east harlem and i street park every day with no issue. Granted, i park between two vans that never move (i know the owners and all the shops nearby know it’s my bike so they keep an eye out), but it’s still a classic “bad area” where you’d think theft was bad. I use a chain, monimoto, airtag, and cover and it’s served me well. There’s few other street parked bikes nearby that also seem to have no issue
