At home I leave it in the backyard.. it's a decoy, hopefully they will be so excited they won't find the Ducatis locked away in the shed. anyway, I haven't lost it yet. I hope I don't.

Or park it next to a Harley, right?

I am not worried at home- my driveway is a quarter mile long, so the bike is always out of sight, even when not in my locked and alarmed barn.

More worried when parked in town, but as it has been pointed out, the bike is probably light enough for a couple of guys to toss it in the back of a pick up truck! Not being a popular choice for bike thieves is a blessing, right?

Don't leave it near retirement villages or old people homes.
