I found this article on another forum. Any stories of having to get someone off your bike? (other than driving down the road and they fall off[:D])
May 4, 2006 -- Diego Servetti may know what to do when in Rome - but the Italian tourist had to learn the hard way what every New Yorker knows: when in the East Village, keep your hands off the Hells Angels' motorcycles. Servetti, 29, was walking with a pal past the Angels' clubhouse on East Third Street Sunday morning when he was so taken with the shiny Harleys parked outside that he decided to sit on one. Seconds later, two men came running out of the club, he told cops. One of them, believed to be the owner of the bike Servetti admired, had blood in his eye - and an ax handle in his hands. The biker, described as white-haired with a gray beard, knocked Servetti to the ground and broke his arm. Servetti's pal was not hurt and no arrests were made.

I haven't had anyone try anything with mine or Mrs Rogue's bike yet. Not sure what I would do. I guess it depended on how old they were or what they would do when confronted. If they were apologetic, then that would probably calm me down a bit. If not, then who knows[;)]
My bro had a race-car-to-be parked on a trailer in front of the house, and one morning we discovered a tow tag on it. We could never get all of the adhesive off.
