Incredible. I can't believe the thieves had the nerve to do that in front of all those people.
Really, truly, incredible.

Does the city of Seattle install racks with the locking nuts that need a special key-socket to remove?

I don't think that would have helped in this instance. The impression I got was that the thieves drove up in a truck, and simply levered the bike rack out of the fastenings :eek: .
This is not the only time it's happened, either :mad: .

Unbelievable. So many big city folk are such goddamned sheep. They are trained to ignore anything that scares them.
