A small red Specialized brand hybrid bike. The D-lock is only around the front fork and the wheel is quick-release.

The D-lock does nothing to secure the bike. The wheel is quick-release and can re removed in seconds.

We would be surprised if this bike wasn't stolen. Pls pls pls always put your lock through the bike frame. The owner of this bike put the lock through the front fork, and the wheel is quick-release, meaning the bike could be taken in seconds without using any tools. #KingstonBikeTheft.
