Unless a store is small and my bike will be in the way I walk it in like I own the place. If someone says something to me I smile and go to another store. One suggestion I have for all bike owners is to use a bike cover over the bike when it IS locked outside. A full cover seems to keep people at arm's length. I locked up once in a seedy neighborhood and covered the bike just to stand back and see how people reacted. I middle age man actually walked the entire rack shaking locks and chains to find one that was loose and he never ever touched my cover. It's not a sure thing but it does seem to help.
