That sucks. I'm afraid to leave my bike unlocked, even at the convenience store. But at McDs in downtown Phoenix in the mornings I see several bikes just parked on the sidewalk totally unlocked. As far as I know nobone's stolen one yet.
Live and learn. You obviously need a lock where you are.

I know. He spent almost 5 seconds thinking about it before taking off with the bike. I didn't think thieves had that kind of indecision.

The ones are usually see are welded to the frame and can't be removed. There's super small so the thief can hardly see them. It prevents this type of issue and no thief is going to carry a bicycle away in broad daylight.

Just on the rear. Don't know about bikes for US market without the built-in mounting plate found on European city bikes. I suspect the aftermarket locks come with some sort of mounting bracket. Even if the mounting bolts are removed, the lock cannot be removed from the wheel, when the lock is engaged/locked. Prevents ride away theft as shown in the video on this thread.

In a pinch, I'll disconnect the brakes and/or pop the chain off if I'm concerned.

Here you see if quite clearly in the rear wheel. Also check out that front fender coverage
