I am always adamant about keeping my home safe and secure. We are in a pretty well populated area but that means nothing when it comes to security. People are so distracted nowadays, I cannot count on anyone to keep an eye on my home.

One thing that I always worried about though was someone stealing my bike. I had a nice mountain bike that I had purchased with my own money and it would have devastated me if someone took it. So, my dad bought a bike chain and combination lock for me so I...
