Mildly impressed if the thief just rode off on it...
LittleWheelsandBig:
Usually bolt cutters and a van are involved.

Why do people steal recumbents - they're relatively uncommon and presumably harder to sell on without drawing attention?

The Fujin SL is a nice bike, and eye-candy for a rouge recumbent thief.
Interestingly enough, it looks like it's had a Burrows front monoblade fork fitted [quite likely done at Bikefix], and there aren't many of those around, so recognition wise, it's very distinctive indeed.
