Nah, dutch and english saftey bikes get pinched all the bloody time, maybe hip student kids want to buy them (again)? I really don't think you can generalise at all about that.
I once saw this american hipster girl shouting at a japanese hipster girl about this crappy shopper bike, right in the throng of Sunday Brick Lane.
AHG (actually trying to grab the bike from it's current guardian): Hey, that's my bike! It was stolen! I bought from here, for seventy pounds!
JHG: No, it's mine, I bought here, for seventy pounds.
AHG: It's mine! You stole it! It was Stolen!
JHG: No! It's mine!
then the penny drops ... they BOTH bought a stolen bike. I laughed in their faces.
