I'd be interested to see the bike crime rates for different places.
e.g. London/Cambridge/Oxford/Swindon/Amsterdam/Los Angeles/New York/Paris/etc.
Along with the total estimated number of bikes in those places and the population of them.
I wonder if bike crime prospers in places where cycling is on high, but has not yet reached the point of most people have a bike, and is lower in places where cycling takeup is very low, or where lots of people have bikes already.
An interesting read, that confirms a few things for me though.
