The UNR Police Department apparently thought it would be a great idea to tape big white scary warning letters to the handlebars of each bike that was not chained up to the bike rack. Initially it seems like a good idea, but did they stop to think that the unchained bikes are no longer hidden within the obscurity of the masses? If I were in the business of stealing bikes, they essentially just opened up an unmonitored garage sale. (Not to mention allowing every person walking by the rack the privelage in examining each bike that isn't chained up.) Maybe next time they can step it up and put blinking neon signs on top of every car that is unlocked in the parking garage.

Easy pickins...

By the time I took this photo, over 3/4 of the papers were already removed.

--- EDIT ---

I thought I would do one of the owners a favor and steal one of the letters from his/her unlocked bike to show you all what it says. Enjoy:
