Sorry for the loss of your friend.

If your traveling with more than one bike a sure fire way to prevent theft no matter what the thieves try is to cable the bikes together. Its easy enough to feed the cable between the engine and frame then up over the seat. There is no way for them to move two bikes at once. This does require a cut proof cable lock.
