You see this in say, Amsterdam too. But it's not that the bikes won't get stolen, it's that eventually they absolutely will, and then you'll just buy another bike again for almost nothing (which was also probably stolen - or salvaged from the canal after it was stolen and dumped...) Not all bikes, but the beater bikes in Amsterdam are all just rotating through the population. It's kinda like a game.
