What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

Hate to break it to you, but cars too are trivial to steal for the right person, just like bikes. I've seen too many "gone in 60 seconds" type of videos (but then the real thing) to have the illusion that any lock will stop everybody.

If there is a car parking garage, then bikes are trivial to park there, unlike cars. Put good locks on the bike, and you're risking 500 insurable dollars versus 20000-60000 more expensive insurable dollars.

I'd rather have my bike stolen than a car.
