The same reason car break-ins are still a problem on public streets. Except, while in many urban places you can pay for protected parking for your car(ie a garage), you can’t do the same for bikes. Ooneepod.com is trying to improve this in the USA in particular by offering extremely low-cost and secure ‘pods’ around urban areas for people to leave their bikes. Note: not affiliated with Oonee in any way, I just think it’s a cool way to try and address bike thefts while also improving the public space.
