Here in Colombia bikes are a primary means of transportation and, as you can imagine, bike theft is a big deal. People even kill cyclists to steal their bikes. Just around two months ago a humble young man who worked at security was killed so thieves could steal his bike, about two kilometers from where I live, on a path I used to cycle when I went to uni to study or work.
On top of that the inaction of the police and justice system about bike theft is notorious. Even their inaction about people killing cyclists is notorious - the driver who killed this person throwing him off of a bridge is free (!):
