I think it took longer than a minute. This was in downtown San Francisco. Oddly enough, no one stopped to questioned ownership of the bike.
Just goes to show that locks are only for deterring the slightly more honest. Someone who really wants a locked up bike will find a way. The lock will just slow them down a bit.
