better than riding it around brazenly while the alarm chirps incessantly... maybe.

Bikeshare bikes don't chirp. Anyways, I've seen people spend a good amount of time just trying to rip one of these bikes out of the docking stations and when they do, they get a free bike. At least this asshole painted it and attempted to conceal that it's a stolen bike. There are quite a few of these around town that are unpainted and stolen. People who check these bikes out have to put their credit card on file and will supposedly get charged a hefty fine if they don't check it back in, but if somebody who didn't check it out gets their hands on one of them they can keep it as their own with zero repercussions and they know it.
