My father took the “make it too ugly to steal” approach with his bicycle in college. Still got stolen.

In Finland there was a trend to paint bikes in gnarly solid colors. My buddy chose pink. Too ugly, and too much work to unidentifiable.
Berea College in Kentucky doesn’t allow first year students to park cars on campus, so even in the summer there are many bikes lined up outside the buildings.
I wandered around a few weeks ago taking photos of all of the pink bikes because I appreciated them: my Jeep is a lovely fuchsia.
