yea i hear stealing saddles is quite popular around market. The SFBC's weekly newsletter included this:
Bike Theft Alerts
Watch your seat! We're hearing reports that someone's stealing seats off bikes all over downtown, it's gotten so bad that local shops are having trouble keeping seat posts in stock. Even if you don't have a quick release on your seat post you may be vulnerable, the thief (or thieves) carries wrenches and can relieve your bike of its seat and post pretty quickly. Stop in at your favorite shop and ask to see what they can offer you for anti-seat-theft measures (we hear that a ball bearing hot-glued in the bolt head provides some protection).
Elsewhere in bike theft news, steer clear of the 5th and Mission Garage -- bike parking at this city garage has always been pretty sketchy, but lately thieves have been working double-time to swipe bikes parked here, sadly we've heard that entire racks full of bikes have been stolen. We're working on better, more secure parking at this key location, but until that happens you'd be well advised not to park your bike there.
