This in Zurich yesterday. It was locked up during a festival.
Thing is, with the smallest bolt cutters you could get through the chain it was locked to.

Yeah but you're a criminally minded evil ner-do-well what has spent too much time working in Caymden....
I found a Trek carbon road bike with Ultegra and Dura Ace outside my local swimming baths, locked, but not to anything. Fearing it would probbly get nicked, I took it inside and asked the staff to put it in an office or something where it would be safe, and stuck a post-it not on the bike rack thingy to let the owner know where it was.
Was the bloke grateful? ****. Just moaned about someone touching his bike without his permission. Shooduv bloody nicked it meself taught him a lesson two or three grand bike can't even lock it up propply.

Work have a lockup with a feeble padlock, and i'm the only one who locks a bike inside the lockup.
The rest seem to not care or are blissfully unaware of how easy the bikes would dissappear.One of these days we'll have a contractor leave the gate open and someone will be off with 10 bikes.

Back in 1995 I used to work in the Edinburgh slums. One stairway had a Marin Team Titanium left unlocked in it, most likely nicked. It was so incongruous left amongst the needles, foil and empty temazepam canisters.

Here in Zurich the bikes left on the street are amazing. Everything from top spec Tri and TT bikes to full on DH bikes; mostly locked with a crappy coil lock.

i lived in Zurich for 5 years and remember it well. Would often see people use the most expensive carbon fibre xc mtb bikes as street bikes.
you get used to it
