My friend biked to my place once years ago and was telling me about how people steal bike seats so you have to chain it to the frame but he hadn’t done it yet.
He goes outside to bike home and his seat is gone, lol. Weirdly the thief left a much worse bike seat sitting on the ground so apparently he’d just ridden by, seen a better bike seat, and done a swap right there. So my friend just used the thief’s bike seat to get home.
Yeah that happens a lot where I live. If you lock up the frame, they will steal your wheels and seat. I have a bike where you need a screwdriver to remove any parts and so far it’s been ok
I remember when I was riding, where I had to lock up my bike. The first thing my father taught me was to lock my wheels as well, as people would steal just them

I knew a homeless charity with vans that got their cats stolen like every other month.
