    The lost value of bike theft is not the value of the bike. It’s way worse the value of the perceived safety.

    For every bike that is stolen, tens of people hear how city X is full of bike thieves, deterring them from buying a bike themselves. Which results in more cars and less bikes. Which is very damaging. Way worse than the price of the bike.
