@Dave....Freind of mine who lives in Vancouver just called me last night...his Brand new ....1st time ridden...most expensive-high-end BionX electric mountain bike just got stolen in less than 15 minutes outside of a public library while chained up ....the crooks took everything including the chain and lock.
The worst part of it is the battery needs a specific lock to remove it..and a very specific charger interface.....the parts need specific tools to remove them too.
None of that matters anyway....the thieves most likely were from Surrey...(nearby) where a couple of the parks are spread with the guts of many ripped apart bikes...the thieves there are beyond post-apoc. or regressed before the stone age....When over in Van 1/2 a yr...maybe a year ago...watched a bike thief bashing a mountain bike against concrete ...ruining it ...trying to get parts off...with no tools or shop....course Surrey is the roughest area of Van. same day early ...watched a morning jogger in all jogging gear and clothes jog past with a baseball bat.....pretty freakin .Bar-bar ...Love cities...but I also sure love stayin faaaarrr away from them too.

@mscion...10 days to go for?
could be a lot of things ...
point of reference please...
