Cloggy you live in Holland.
Isn`t that the country where you leave your keys in the bike and the thieves steal it, go for a ride, fill it up with fuel, wash and polish it and park it up where they stole it from?

unfortunately not, or I would do that more regularly (easy way to get the bike cleaned) :thumbup:
It is true that in the cities some people seem to think is their right to steal a bicycle, as nobody is using it, but this means removing a lock to do so. The problem is they quite often throw the bike in the canal after use or sell it on to someone else on the street.
The only way to stop this is to make sure your bicycle looks like cr@p, so nobody wants to steal it. My wife has a special "looks like Cr@p" bike for locking up at the station (the place where the most thefts occur), she also has 2 good locks, but that didn't help with her previous 3 station bicycles.
So the answer to the security problem is to make sure your bike looks aweful so no one will want to take it, but I suppose that's not an option
