I can't imagine not.The how much do you trust others thing that surprises me is the tendency for people to get deliveries while they are not there, with the expectation that it can be left on the doorstep and will still be there later. I do not think I have ever lived somewhere where I would choose to do that, and I do not think I have lived in the worst places in the UK.
I leave my road bike and my e-bike on my porch. Both are valuable, and I've actually had a different bike taken before. I still leave em both out.
It doesn't make sense to take them to my garage. The effort and time spent physically walking to my apartment from said garage probably exceeds the loss. It takes 2 minutes to and from, which adds up to 8 minutes per day. 8x720=5760÷60=97(hours)x16.5(present wage)=$1584.
That's actually more the the value of both bikes, and that's before calculating the cost of paranoia, which is basically incalculable, but conceivably, could have an opportunity cost in willingness to trust success, reducing likelihood of investment(either personal or financial, as in stock): imo cynical are less likely to succeed financially or socially.
