I don't, but I saw an unlocked bike in a park downtown remain in place for 4 days earlier this year. Bike theft just isn't a thing where I currently live.

In the last place I lived, my bike was stolen in under 12 minutes.

Well I envy you.

I went to the grocery store to grab a drink and I locked my bike. I was in the store for less than 3 minutes, when I came out my bike was gone. 3 minutes! I was so sad.

Person I replied to deleted their comment.. They said they don’t lock their bike.

They saw a bike unlocked in a park for 4 days and no one bothered stealing it.

I don't think they deleted it, it's still showing for me at least.

Very weird. It does not show up for me. I go to my comment in my profile and click “load all comments” and still nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you use Memmy? Because I'm frequently missing some comments when using Memmy.

[–] Bearbi3@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I am using Memmy.. interesting. Maybe I should try something else.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

I didn't delete it. I see that it might be a problem with whatever app you're using. I recommend just using the browser on your phone, all of the apps I have come across have issues.

I hate to be that guy, but if you're not using a u-lock you're basically advertising a free bike for anyone with a pair of cutters

[–] Bearbi3@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was a U-lock They used cooled air and smashed the lock.

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then you need to spend more than $15 on your u lock, canned air can't do anything against one that's built properly
