just spent 3 weeks in peru and had no theft problems................ we always found off street parking with posh hotels. hostels and other overnght places that i dont really know what to call, in the large towns and small villages......... the hosts always bent over backwards to find us a place to park the bikes.... some were sometimes a short walk away from the places......... we had no security locks apart from the stearing locks........ we even left the hard panniers on some nights....... the only place i was a bit nervous about was puno, because there seemd to be a strange atmosphere there as regards to us on bikes, probably just my paranoia though at the time........ i got the impression of utopia in all the out of the way villages, but i spose you can never be too careful though...... i live in london and wouldnt dream of leaving my bike anywhere like i left in peru........ i miss peru !
