If I am riding with someone, one of us stays with the bikes while the other goes in and vice versa. I will even carry my bike up two flights of stairs or put it in the elevator to take it with me. Never had anyone complain.

One guy asked me how much my bike cost and when I told them, they said the would do the same thing. Yes more booger flinging since I didn’t directly answer your question, but that is my solution to bike theft.
