Pictured above: a bike locked badly to a good quality rack. Just a wrench, and a thief takes the wheel and bike away.
In the photo below: my solution to properly lock a bike to bad, low rack made wrong (to “dish rack”, outside Decathlon 🤦). Instead of inserting the wheel, I put the bike across the structure, so I can easily lock wheel and frame.

I once had a neighbor who somehow always found a way to avoid using a U-lock correctly for their bike. Each day was a fresh example of how to get it wrong in new and creative way. I wish I had taken pictures.
