Ask some fishermen.
I'd prefer bite bikes - bikes that bite people who try to steal them.

H3N3 said:If you mean do they put out bikes to be stolen as part of a sting operation, and "they" is the Chicago Police Department or any other governmental entity, the answer is no, property crimes in general are no longer a concern of Chicago's Finest.
If you mean does the cycling community self-organize to hold such sting operations, it certainly should but everyone's apparently just too busy with work and whatever to get it together.
If you're talking about a cargo bike used to transport live minnows . . . I have no doubt there's someone who does it somewhere in this city.

CPS should lock up a Cervélo S3 with one of those dinky combination-lock cables and station a sniper on the rooftop across the street. Anyone starts messing with the lock and "BAM!", one fewer bicycle thief. I have more suggestions if anyone is interested.

Just messing with ya'.
That is weird, though. Maybe they get to work early and leave late and are OCD about their parking location?
I had a well-used $120 MTB from Target stolen from the train station when I left it locked up for a few hours and some lucky jerk leaves a new Trek locked up for a week without it rolling off? Life's not fair, I tell ya

I lay a bait whenever i run into someplace for food. I am always sitting within eye shot of the bike. I usually take the skewers out or pop the brakes of (not fixed), and there are a few things that need to be done before it can safely ride. but no matter what I do I always hold something heavy and swing-able bye my side.
I lock it for any other occasion, but usually I don't leave my bike outside anyways, so.
