DIY Uglification: A Simple Anti-theft Technique

This anti-theft tutorial shows you how to make your bike (or any vehicle) look rusty, ugly, and unattractive to a potential thief. If your bike is unattractive, you can park it just about anywhere and still have peace of mind. I have used these techniques successfully on bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles.

My first thought is that I hope your neighborhood thieves aren't watching this vid.

Those weren't muscle cars passing by. Looked like a rice drift team. Watch out for the overspray. They wouldn't appreciate a rusty look.

My second thought is ..Hope the city sidewalk department isn't watching this vid.

If you need something hot to drink while riding just scrape off some cocoa and warm up a cup of hot water.

Keep up the good work Miles, You continue to amaze me.

@youpete7383 Hi, Pete!

Thks for comment.

Yeah, I'm hoping the thieves have better things to do than check out YouTube videos. But even if they don't, maybe my nasty paint job will be too much trouble to fix and regain resale value.

I know those weren't what we used to call muscle cars, but it kinda fit. And I did hit that low wall with overspray. Pretty sure no one cares about the wall, but car owners would, specially those drifters. Anyway, I didn't get any spray on anyone's car.

I want to say this is hilarious, but I've also lived around LA. Good job, Miles!
