Kim, you are very bad!
See that front QR? It was flapping in the breeze. Not just unclamped, but totally loose, to the point where the lawyer lips were likely to be ineffective. I did the decent thing, but didn't have anything with me to leave a note.

I see there's also a cable locking the rear wheel to the frame, although it looks long enough to reach the stand if they'd wanted.
And is that a mirror mounted in a curious fashion on the bar end? There's a black rectangle with some sort of bracket or wires curving down in that direction.
This Badly Locked Bike Of Birmingham was notable for the sheer determination of somebody to turn a low-end MTB into a multi-purpose practical form of transport. Some particularly interesting bodgery going on with the kickstand and rear rack. I strongly suspect that the hub motor may be worth more than the rest of the bike.
I'm just envious of the bike:car ratio on that street.
