Honestly, the amount of people who have more money than sense is beguiling. I'm part of the London Fixed Gear and Single Speed forums and there's a thread constantly being updated with photos of people failing to lock their expensive bikes properly.
There have been some real shockers, sometimes painfully expensive bikes have been left barely locked up at all, or with crappy cable locks that can be cut with a small wire cutter. This was the latest:

The lock is an expensive one with a decent rating, but no matter how good a lock it is, it won't protect your bike from theft by dangling next to it.
I swear, some people just buy bikes but don't really care about them, they have loads of money wound up in Rowan Dartington investments so if their pricey bike gets nicked they can just buy another one.
