I figure it's pretty safe, I know lots of people do lock their expensive bikes while shopping, and few have had thefts happen. With a good enough lock (i.e., requiring an angle grinder) most thieves are not going to make an attempt in front of a store....at least in KW.
Yeah, when we had no garage and left our bikes outside, sometimes they went missing (or parts thereof). Inside the garage has been pretty good. I also don't ride a super expensive bike around town, though I guess replacing it would be somewhat annoying these days.
