That's why I didn't want to spend over $50 for a commuter bike. I knew that it was going to get thrashed around a lot, if not stolen while parked outside somewhere. I decided it was best to invest into it only what I could afford to lose. This will change once I get the E-bike kit for it, but for now I could care less what happens to the bike as long as I'm not left stranded somewhere out of walking distance.
