read it again.

Yeah, but there's a pretty wide range of "LOCKED" out there.
..i wish i had the 'Free Bob Jackson!' picture.
Even people that should have a clue sometimes screw up. A week ago or so I did my typical mini-u + cable lockup on my mtb, went inside somewhere and ate, and came out about an hour later. When I went to unlock my bike, I noticed that the mini-u was around the seat tube as usual, only in my haste/stupidity I had locked it around the seat tube ABOVE THE TOP TUBE.
