It is pretty silly to basically leave money laying on the ground with an alarm that calls police when someone takes it. A better approach would be to have locks which open for the users. If the user does not lock up the bike and it is stolen, bam, they get hit with the $1500+ fee to replace the bike just like the existing bike sharing systems. Locked bikes can still be stolen, but it is a giant leap ahead of just leaving them laying around.
