Selby has a system where you go shopping and leave your bike for a few minutes. Go inside, come out and discover someone has stolen your bike.
There are bikes and bikes. I'm not sure I'd leave anything worth £500
or more in public without proper security or properly attended.
Most end up in the river or canal.
A woman posted on local Facebook group that her folding bike had been
stolen from the railway station bike park. A week later she found it
chained up where she left it ... at the other end of the bike shed
than where she 'normally' parks it. ;-)
My daughter's bike (a folding one) was stolen from the reception area of
her London Office. It appeared on ebay a few days later. The City of London
Police weren't interested.
