I just had a call about a stolen moped. The victim is unemployed and spends much of his day at the library researching jobs. He usually locks his moped to a cement to ceiling pole but was told recently, by security, that he needs to lock it to the regular bicycle rack.
The bike rack is not secured to the ground and is the type that just holds your wheel in place. Each individual wheel holder can be removed from the frame with a crescent wrench in less than a minute. He brought this to the security officer's attention and the officer assured him that their "security team" would keep an eye on it as well.
well, today, his moped was stolen from that same rack and the suspect simply removed the wheel holder from the frame and slipped the lock over it and drove away.
i had a few words with the security officer about how mad i'd be if that was my DH bike (not that i'd lock it to a shoddy rack like that)
the victim and i raised enough stink that the security guy called the library director to set up a conference with the victim on monday.
so anyway...lets say that was your beloved bike and you were told that you had to lock it their rack and that they'd watch it for you while you were inside. who would you call? how would you handle it?
i hope i don't get in trouble for raising a stink about this...considering that the library director gets paid from the same bank account that i do
