If you mean in poor condition then probably that it is a useful strategy.
Did the owners of cheaper bikes use locks that were as good a quality as the owners of expensive bikes? Were the owners of cheaper bikes more likely to lock them up in higher theft areas than the owners of expensive bikes? I know I'll lock my beater bike in places that I won't lock up a nicer bike for example.
