Oh yeah, you can see many of those in NY as well... The photo is a little of fucos though. Probably a little sharpening and then despeckle to reduce the grainy effect would benefit it.

These are always funny to see. Sometime I think it would be fun to walk up to the bike and act like it is yours and that you are devistated by the damage done to it.

This picture reminds me of a friend who had his bike stolen in London. He found the thief in Finsbury Park, standing next to it talking to others. He walked up, grabbed the bike, thanked the guy for finding it for him. The guy started beating him mercilessly, but my friend knew if he lets go, bike is gone again! Finally, the thief ran, my friend got his bike back, and two black eyes was the price.

Too bad what ignorant people do for kicks or greed, and someone's days get's ruined. The photo quality is a bit blurry but it does tell its story.

Unfortunately this is London. Thieves can steal any parts. I remember we were taking of our saddles :)and chaining our bikes together :)

Thanks for the shot.
