Theres a video out there of two guys who plant bikes all over Manhattan, and then in broad daylight, with all kinds of people around, including cops, proceed to cut the locks off them with all kinds of tools, power tools, hammer and chisel, bolt cutters etc.
Nobody does anything to stop them and the only person who even talks to them offers advice on how to cut off the lock!
