I thought I would share this link to the NY Times Op Ed pages. A biker locked his bike in several locations throughout NYC and used different methods to "steal" it while in plain view. He used a hacksaw, a pry bar, bolt cutters and an electric grinder at different locations. Despite pedestrians passing constantly, he was never confronted or questioned by anybody until a cop "busted" him on the fourth attempt.

It's really pretty disturbing that nobody brought it to an officer's attention.
