Step 10Camouflage
Some people seem to think that they can avoid theft by making their bike look to unique to sell, other think they can just make their bike look crappy. To some extent they are right, you can make a bike look crappy, or unique, but that doesn't help theft proof it if you don't lock it properly, it just makes it look ugly.
This myth is so prevalent that even major bike manufacturers have taken to making intensionally ugly bicycles. Please, a bicycle should be a thing of beauty, make the madness stop.

How is this bike locked poorly? The back wheel is locked to the frame and the bike rack. Furthermore the front wheel is more secure than your bike from Step 2, because it doesn't have quick releases.

It's not locked poorly, it's just ugly.

Definitely not ugly. Fuzz probably doesn't like fixed gears. The only ugly bit on the bike is the routing for the front brake, but at least it has one.
