My sister locked her bike to a pole through the frame in San Diego. When she came back literally every other part was gone, and the frame remained locked to the pole. They even took the cranks, the forks, and the brake cables. Who steals brake cables?

The people who steal a frame somewhere else. Otherwise they can not finish their bike...

I had the quick release clamp stolen on mine (after taking the seat off). Twice in one week, because i happened to have a spare. And the window wipers from my car one time.

  I saw a bike chained to something once, little foldable bike, with the saddle missing. It dawned on me later that the owner probably took it with him, to make it less attractive to be stolen.

    That, or the seat got stolen. Some people have an odd sense of humor.

      A good leather bike seat can be pretty valuable on its own.

        Especially if said thief had previously stolen a seatless bike.

Yeah I left my bike at work and someone decided he had more use for my rear lights than me. Who steals 5€ lights?!

  Somebody who needs it and has a criminal attitude. It's 5 Euros for free, like a banknote on the sidewalk.
