Woa, I rode the Run For The Wall in May from Dallas to Wash DC and back home.
I don't worry about locking stuff up mostly, so occasionally I just leave the key sticking out the trunk lock.
Did so in the Pentegon parking lot waiting for the Rolling Thunder parade ride on Constitution Ave.
Bikes were parked lined up in two close rows spread out over the parking lot.
Well, key is sticking out trunk and I'm heading over to the lunch booths.
Came back and later going into the trunk, I see the key is bent 90 degrees. Someone had squeezed between the bike behind me and hit the key as they went by. Musta hurt.
I wiggle it out and go look for my secret key black duct taped into the bottom of the glove box. Geez, when recently pulling off all the plastic to add a farkle, I had removed the key and didn't replace it back.
Luckily, I was able to carefully bend it back to functionality and it worked fine till I got home.
let's ride safe and be careful out there,
