Do you lock your bike while it's in your garage/shed?

I don't, but I saw an unlocked bike in a park downtown remain in place for 4 days earlier this year. Bike theft just isn't a thing where I currently live.
In the last place I lived, my bike was stolen in under 12 minutes.
Well I envy you.
I went to the grocery store to grab a drink and I locked my bike. I was in the store for less than 3 minutes, when I came out my bike was gone. 3 minutes! I was so sad.
i got 2 bikes stolen out of my shed. so yes, i lock the bike. with multiple locks.
Me too. Two bikes stolen from the shed.
I once was the only one confronting a couple which used a saw on a bike to let it loose. Turned out she lost her keys and she thanked me for speaking up. At least 200 people passed and nobody confronted them. A pity nowadays.
Yes. With two locks on top of the lock that's in the door.
Then there's also the fact that my bike(s) have a custom "paintjob" done with duct tape so if it gets stolen and they want to sell it they first need to spend hours peeling off the tape with a hot air gun.
I don't. Maybe I should. I have housemates who use the garage for their actual cars, so I do feel like I'm trusting them to keep the garage door closed, but then again, one of them works from home, so he usually keeps an eye on things. Also, my neighborhood is like super dead, basically nothing ever happens there.
Might not be the worst idea, though.
I don't even lock my shed. Que sera sera
Nah, my bikes aren't worth that much and my area has an incredibly low crime rate. I heard rumors of a breakin before me moved in, but that was ~8 years ago and was apparently a neighborhood kid.
So no, I'm not worried about theft at my house. My bike does have a beefy ulock on it that I use every time I go out (despite the low crime rate), but I never lock it at home.
No, and it's never occurred to me to do so.
I built a locking loop into my bike shed. Used it for about a month before I got bored of that. It’s a pretty secure metal shed
No, but my shed is secure, and there's also more desirable/expensive things in there someone would take first.
Yes, insurance wont cover it fully otherwise. Chained to a metalhoop in the concrete just like my Nimbus motorcycle.
nope
Yes, it's gated but it's condominiums so a common area. Has been safe for 20 years, knock wood.
Yup. Only bikes that I don't lock up are the ones inside my house but even those I get nervous about when my girlfriend leaves the house and doesn't bother securing the windows properly.
I'll never leave my bikes on the street, even locked up. If I have to go into a shop when I'm out on my bike then that shit is coming in the shop with me.
I always lock my bike. It doesn't take that long to do and isn't particularly hard either, so there's little reason to expose myself to the risk of having it stolen, no matter how small that risk may be.
I don't, but our neighborhood is off the beaten path and really quiet. The bikes are in the locked garage that is reasonably secure.
