"Steal My Bicycle! Please!"
I saw this bicycle "locked" here in Cambridge-- hopefully there aren't any details in this picture that make the location identifiable:

This has got to be one of the lamest attempts at securing one's bicycle I've seen. I know that bike-rack space is scarce, but this looks pretty easy to remove. The owner of the bicycle didn't even bother to lock the wheel to the frame.
UPDATED: Here's the original picture if you want to see it unblemished by my clumsy attempt to highlight the offending area.

You might want to re-post the photo, without the red
drawing superimposed. Your post is actually hilarious, but at first glance, it has much less impact. The red drawing looks like a chain, locked through the appropriate places. So one may find the chain to be a little lacking in strength, but otherwise, it seems to be a normal locking job (albeit not to any fixed structure).

If you had any balls you would've stolen it. That's what Andreas would've done.
