Last night, someone broke off my headlight and it's 2 18650 battery pack.
At my apartment.
Police were called and a report was taken.
I can not carry my bike up two stairs as I have back and neck problems.
I do not know how much my Huffy mountain bike weighs, but it is quite heavy.
It has a luggage rack, bottle holder, and one of those bulb activated "clown horns."
One option is to ask manager if I can install some pulleys to pull my bike up to my balcony.
I do not give that much of a probability of being okayed.
Any other ideas come to mind?

To minimize the chance of being vandalized, ride the worst bike imaginable. Ride a bike that is trashy and needs to be thrown in the dump. The scum people of the world will not vandalize it. I agree with the other person who said get a carbon bike. Or more correctly, a lighter weight bike. A bike less than 20 pounds. Easier to carry.
I do not have the big bucks to get a bike that costs more than my car.
