I guess my bike,

pretty theft-proof, then.

I had a flat rear on a triathlon bike & a broken chainstain on a
recumbent. Put the 20" rear on triathlon bike. Bike was stolen in
May. The witnesses noticed the thief & bike precisly from the
mismatch. When I stopped and gave notices to the LBS near the theft,
they specifically had remembered seeing me on that bike with the
conspiciously mismatched tires. I don't think a less conspicious
recumbent is very theft resistant.
