Taught how to steal bikes

Know how to steal a bike?

I am sure most people at one point has had their bicycle stolen. In the Netherlands, you can be taught how to steal a bike by a dutch cyclist group. The intent is for the bike rider to be more aware of how to secure their bicycle. You are showed how to pick locks and how to securely lock up your bike. This is something I can see backfiring as I am sure there are a lot of people that would take advantage of this to help them steal bikes faster and more efficiently. This could pose a problem for the Netherlands, as that it relies heavily on bicycle transportation with 18 million bikes in use. The new students that go to the city are big targets for bicycle thieves. So the group is traveling across the country to share their lessons with students and people alike to make them more aware of how theft is done to their bikes and how to prevent it.
