I think poster was talking about rate of thefts, not absolute number of thefts.
I did grow up in the Netherlands and had more than one bike stolen from me. The wheellock ws typically the only lock.
Now that I am old I would never trust my bike with such only a lock (even though a good wheel lock can be near impossible to crack) since a thief could simply lift it up
At a minimum, a U-lock thru front wheel and frame, preferably aided by one or two additional locks
