It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It is very unusual for bike thieves to have any lock picking skill whatsoever, they pretty much always use cutting wheels and/or bolt cutters. Still, best to have a quality lock, but nothing is undefeatable.

It's all about deterrence: Make your bike harder to steal than the next one so they will be less likely to waste their time trying.
