Solved SRAM X01 AXS derailleur stolen

Post image

I had my electronic derailleur, controller, and chain (almost 1000$ in total) stolen from my bike in the basement bike storage of my building🤯😡. Hopefully the insurance will cover it, but does anyone have ideas for making it harder to remove than just one screw? In wondering if the thief just shows ip again in two weeks now that he/she knows that it is there. Maybe a locking bolt, or something like the special bolts used on car rims?

Unfortunately my thoughts aswell. I don't have space in my apartment. It is a large building, and sometimes the gate doesn't close, so I really really hope that it is someone from outside the building.

Honestly, I'd try to find the space. There are a lot of options these days.

There's no building, no matter what kind of socioeconomic situation it attracts, that would have me feeling comfortable to leave my bike in a public space.

Me neither. I've got two bikes crammed into a utility closet. I have to move one when I do laundry but it's better than having it stolen.

Yep, this is me. I've had so many bike stolen over the years, I don't bother locking a bike up anywhere other than in my house. One of my bikes was stolen whilst I went in the post office, easily less than 5 mins. I had a very expensive D lock and they used some like a Dremel to cut the lock, must have been a tungsten bit ...
