I had a close call this morning.
I parked in the stands in the middle of High Holborn at 08:45. I came back an hour later, and my bike was still there, but the one that had been locked to the other side of the rack wasn’t. I had locked my bike frame to the stand with an Evo mini, with a Kryptoflex cable through the wheels to deter anyone with a spanner. The 10mm thick braided steel had been cleanly sliced through.
It's a busy time of day. The stands are right next to a busy pedestrian crossing. We really don't have a chance, do we?
