My experience is you don't WANT your vehicle parked "out of sight."  That just means no one will see the thieves trying to steal it.  Park it in plain sight in a heavily (pedestrian) trafficked area to discourage theft.  If there are too many witnesses, thieves are less likely to make the attempt.

nope.
out of sight, they can steal it easily.
in heavily trafficked areas, they're just another person, walk up like you own it and steal it easily.
thieves suck.

Maybe we could have a thread called:

To all new Zero "owners" that stole the bike

As they will probably search on the internet to get info and end out here....

The good news (Page 1) was my bike was recovered and returned to me, while the plastics were badly damaged and the handlebars bent, the bike was otherwise alright.

Well, yeah, if they can do it without looking suspicious.  I'd certainly notice and call police if someone walked up to a bike as if they owned it and then proceeded to break the steering lock or mess with the wires to the ignition.
