How Not To Lock Up Your Bike
Kim:
Today's Badly Locked Bike Of Birmingham:
Step 1: Remove QR front wheel.
Step 2: Thread handlebars and fork through cable lock.
Step 3: Skulk off with rest of bike.
Except, this one has a bonus security feature: The rear wheel and drive train are in such an appalling state that no respectable bike thief would bother.

So near and yet so far.
ElyDave:
I almost did that^^^^, this morning :facepalm:
Kim:
Ah, that reminds me, I spotted this earlier:
Through the wheel and under the rack, but not actually through the frame of the bike. The cheapo cable lock was doing the business at the other end. I reckon they'd probably get away with it, given the unappealingness of a bike with no back wheel.
(What I actually got the camera-phone out for was some impressive motorised bollard carnage, but it doesn't appear to have saved that one.)
