I'm wondering how much of that crime can be attributed to the following circular thinking: > the bike crime level is so high, no sense in buying half-decent bike > no way I buy a lock that costs more than bike > [the lock can be cut by bolt cutter in a few seconds] > [the lock gets cut, the bike gets stolen] > omg, they stole my bike! Gotta buy another cheap one
