Hey Mimbres Man give Grants a break! There are some very good people there too. There is a lot of incidents that happen all along the route that never make the news. Some are good and some are bad.
When I saw where Matthew's bike showed up on the SPOT tracker I thought that something was weird. I know Grants well enough to know he did not belong there (literally on the other side of the tracks). When it returned to the McDonald's on the next signal I thought it was a glitch. Then when I saw how long he spent at McDonald's I thought something was not right. Subway (slightly off route) is at the other end of town and Lota Burger (on route) has much better meat. He also did not stop at Wal-Mart, which is strange given that he has almost 200 miles of no services ahead.
In any case, I have had pieces of half eaten chicken thrown at me while biking in Silver City, and a lady in a minivan tailgated me at 40 mph down a hill while I was towing a BOB trailer there too. I still like Silver City.
There are plenty of tiny locks and cables that would deter an opportunistic thieve. As far as I know no one flashed any steel, so its all good.
Grants is like everywhere else
