If only my city treated bike theft like they treated car theft...

Have you had a care stolen recently? They probably DO treat them the same.

My city invests a ton of money into cracking down on car theft and increasing punishments. They are not investing into bike lockers or even racks. It's usually a "too bad" even for thefts of high value bikes unlike cars.
