I'm not going to bother with a product link until you take welding classes at the very minimum. These bikes aren't for everyone you know...

I already took welding classes before.

In my opinion not that will work. They could easily steal something off your bike like a brake cable, etc.

I heard of it happening before and it can happen.

No, that is totally false. NO ONE, and I mean no one will ever steal a brake cable. That is just crossing the line...even for thieves.

Argon gas is easy to get:
Take a rope and cut 22.687 feet off it.
Tie it to a 2 # coffee can.
Swing it in arc at 5.5 MPH.
Only argon gas will enter the can.
Be sure to put the lid back on it right away.

Wire Welders & Mig Welders;

These work great for body panel replacement. A wire welder has a spool of wire within the welders cabinet. This wire runs through the cable and out the welders tip. When welding, the wire is fed at a speed that should match how fast it is deposited on the base material. A "Mig" welder is a wire welder with a gas feed at the welding tip. The gas forms an area of gas where the welding occurs. As a result, the welding isn't exposed to "air" while welding. There are various gas mixtures used (I have had good luck with argon/co2).

That method is known as 5mph arc argon Folger's collection method.
 
My statistics show that there hasn't been a single case reported since 1784 when Jebediah R. Johnson had his cable stolem.

....and I've grown tired of this thread.
