Stolen Black Beach Cruiser (and tools) from Berkeley Bay Area CA

No insurance or serial number, I was planning on getting those after I got it running. Luckily I didn't pay more than about 380 bucks total for the bike and engine (tools and extra parts not included) so it wasn't a huge loss. I'm starting on a new bike now and I'll definitely keep it double u-locked with a sturdy chain at all times.

That's good. I use a heavy duty New York chain lock for my chain lock from kryptonite and a u lock of the same brand. I lock the frame and tire to a sturdy bike locking area and u lock the rear wheel to the frame. The kryptonite chain lock feels so strong it would take more than a set of bolt cutters to get through it and a fair amount of time before they can try to take my bike. The kryptonite New York lock is about $100 and farly heavy but its worth it (better safe than sorry)

The thing with u locks is if you use them to lock the frame thieves can just use something to pry them apart but if they have little space when its locked up it makes it harder to pry apart. like how I use a u lock makes it harder to pry apart the u lock and secures my rear wheel to. Good luck with your new build and happy new year.
 
Sorry for your loss Blue, really sucks. Did someone you know like the bike a lot, aka inside job? Seems fishy they broke in and that's all they took.
