^^^^^^ I call BS. So you're a bike thief, you happen upon a parked bike, unlocked, and you DON'T happen to notice two bigeffin' cylinders duct-taped to the seat tube? You DON'T notice that as soon as you grab it, it's about five pounds heavier than it should be? You DON'T notice that the seat looks like it's carved out of Frankenstein's shoulder?

And if they were real thieves, it wouldn't really be "bait" unless the cops were also in on it, ready to take them away.
