^this.
And whilst I am absolutely sympathetic to people who this has happened to, if it wasn't locked I class it as 'taken' than 'stolen' (yes I am well aware that both are legally stealing, spare me the internet lawyers). Lock your shit up.

The reason it's useful to specify your locking method is because it helps other people understand the relative risk of each method / equipment choice.
It's not so really so that we can all say "LOL YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOCK IT?! HAHAHAHA FFS".
Besides, if it was taken from, say, your house (during a break-in, for e.g.), where it's unlikely to have been locked, does that make it any less of a theft?

It would be helpful if those who have had bicycles stolen could state which locks, if any, they used.
