Re: [RBW] Bike theft - check the lockup structure

[Jon Dukeman]

A new thing in Oakland..bike jacking like car- jacking only with high end
bikes.
No need to break the lock.
A sad state of affairs in this country.

I see you've posted about this as well. I guess I shouldn't be surprised 
that this is not a new phenomenon

[Matthew Williams]

Thanks for the PSA and reminder, Ryan! 

I’ve been discovering this attempt at racks here in the Bay Area, too. This 
rack at Safeway has been loose/unsecured for over three years.

[RBW] Bike theft - check the lockup structure

[Ryan]

I actually noticed this in Winnipeg where I live. I rode my bike to a bank 
in a fairly upscale mall and noticed that one of the lockup rings was loose 
where it's bolted into the concrete. Other tricks; sawing through the metal 
tubing of the structure itself and using tape of some sort to hide it, etc.

Don't be in such a hurry that you don't check whatever you're locking your 
bike to.I know it's obvious but I just thought I'd pass this on
