Stolen bikes

Why does the forum demand to know how the bike is locked up, surely the point of this thread is to alert people to a bike that has been stolen and show people interested in bikes what to keep an eye out for?

Continually telling people to get a Krypotonite after they've already had their bikes stolen is a bit of 'stating the obvious' / 'I told you so' / 'look how clever I am to still have my bike', right or wrong? I may just be ranting but if I'd had mine teefed I'd just want everyone to see the post, say sorry (if they felt the urge) and keep their eyes peeled.

For instance, says there's a number of people who got their bike stolen in a specific place, and listing what kind of lock they used, had they used the decent lock (Kryponite etc.), then we'd be worried about locking our bike in that area, beside learning from their mistake and getting advice on what they should do once they get a new bike from the insurance company.

if it a shit lock/poorly locked bike, then we're safe in the knowledge that with decent lock and it's lock properly, the chance of it getting stolen is minimal.

To be fair, they did lock their bike poorly and did chosen the cheapest lock, it's either let them do it again or tell them straight to their face.
Most of the time it tend to be the owner's fault of how they lock it and what lock they use, I don't think we're being pompous at all, just showing them the right course of action.
