There's plenty of theft that happens in broad daylight in DTK and everywhere in the region and it's silly to say it's not a problem. Every day in the summer when I volunteer at recycle cycles there's people coming in with partial bikes, missing seatposts and saddles, missing handlebars (cut the cables and 4 allen keys gets you a nice prize that fits in a knapsack). Thankfully most of the theft is unorganized and they aren't using power tools yet so quality u-locks and bolt-cutter resistant chains are the best defence around here. U-locks are particularly vulnerable to leverage attacks, most anyone can break one open with a piece of scaffold pipe or some other long lever.
