What does the fact that the bikes are freewheels have anything to do with the story?

I think you misunderstood. The OP meant "free" wheels ...as in no cost to him. Thieves apparently think of other people's **** as free to them if its not welded, chained or anchored down.

Does anyone think there should be a sub subforum for these discussions? Like a culture/ethics of fixed gear and singlespeed bikes? Maybe I'm just bitter because no one responded to my request for user reports of Level components hubs....

There was this chick walking in the park late last night. It was pretty dark there and obviously a bad idea for her to be walking there alone.
Anyway, I spent about 20 minutes debating whether or not to **** her to make a point. I ended up not. Tomorrow if she's still there should I do the deed?

I wouldn't go around stealing things to make a point. That's just asking to get arrested, or beaten up if you get caught in the act. "I was just trying to make a point." isn't going to hold up too well. More like "I was just trying to make a buck."

dude all these people hatin... ANYONE HEARD OF ROBIN HOOD. nuff said, however i will elaborate; if you were to see a small puppy wandering the streets aimlessly with a pouty face and no collar would you want to give it a better home and take care of it??
In conclusion, the wheels are the puppies, they need real love - not pseudo ownership. Take pride in your bike, lock that shattuck up, and moral of the story is.....
It's cool to steal people's shattuck if they askin for it OH OHHHHHH

If I ever saw someone doing what the OP proposed, I'd beat them into a ******** coma with their U-lock. What does the OP or anyone else care how someone locks up their bike? Don't be so bloody arrogant.

the only thing you need to know. Some idiot shaking my bike gently by the bars and seat to see if it was locked securely was surprised when he found me standing beside him. He said "Oh! I didn't know it was yours!" I said "Did you know it wasn't yours, ****tard?" and we knew where we stood.

I think everyone is missing the obvious point here, if you see two bikes with unlocked quick-release front wheels it ISN'T okay to steal them, it IS okay to switch them. Especially if they come out at the same time and accuse each other of stealing their wheels.
It was my final lesson.

a [roughly estimated] quote from ira ryan, pdx framebuilder:
"in my opinion, all bike thieves should have their balls nailed to the floor of a burning house. the words are harsh but the sentiment is right."
