    if locks kept people out, there would be almost no theft, like 90% reduction. if someone wants in, they’re getting in.

      You are generalizing but I understand what you’re trying to say. Locks aren’t magical or anything, it’s just metal, right? But they work pretty well. Anybody could be tempted to take a bike if it’s just sitting there unlocked. Anybody.

      But locked bikes are stolen much less than unlocked bikes, so locks work. Locks do keep people out. 🙂‍↕️
