Not many people are walking in the woods looking for bikes to steal. if there are two locks and chains, and no skewers so the person couldn't ride away .... but hopefully no one would ever notice anyway.

But yes on the GPS if you are just getting off the river wherever and not at an actual established boat ramp or dock or something.

I haven't been in a canoe or kayak yet in this century .... I'd sure like to but real life keeps interfering.
I like the skewer removal trick.
