I've seen a front-wheel locked to a rack at a train station that I frequent for weeks now... and the bike's actually still attached. Heck, the wheels a quick-release... one could steal the bike in about 5 seconds without tools. I've thought about disconnecting the wheel just so the owner might notice... they seem to use it, as the bike moves around the rack... but is never locked intelligently.
