Worst locking job I've ever seen

I just came across this gem down the street from my place. The choice of a pole over the empty staple rack twenty feet away is just a lil' cherry on top. Short of throwing my spare lock on this thing along with a note (which I'd likely do if I weren't heading out for the night), is there anything I should do to prevent the inevitable theft?

Maybe a sting by undercover bike cops to entice bike thieves!  Or a bike ridden by an eedjit.

I can't tell if it is a QR seatpost binder or at least a bolted one.

Well if nothing else you could take the wheels pretty easily.

Maybe he had the bike and you in his sight, or the scope of his sniper rifle?

New rider, new bike. Note the required for sale reflectors still on the wheels.

He will be. He willl beee...

Surprised there's no lock bracket on the frame. The shop guys probably talked him out of that, or told him it couldn't be done.

I leave my reflectors on because anything that improves visibility is worth it in my opinion.

Even little kids know how to lock a bike in the city.

What, no saddle leash?  That cute green-striped strawberry youth saddle is as good as GONE!

Oops- take off the fork and cable and the whole bike can be removed. Grownups do this too. Better than the other one though.

I notice the domain hownottochainyourbike.com is open.  Set up a photo gallery, solicit pictures from forums, and watch the ad revenue pour in.
