A real "low life".
Even to thieves some items should be "no go".

Doesnt take 10 seconds to put a lock around the back wheel/frame. He/she could have left the bike next to the casualty.
People dont care, its not their bike so they wouldnt be bothered.
You dont seem to understand me, they dont need anywhere to lock it to. They could just lock it next to them so an opportunist doesnt cycle off on it.

This. I'd guess in central London over half the calls will be inside a building, do you really want a paramedic wasting time looking for somewhere to lock it or arguing with security about whether or not the bike needs to be searchedSorry, I do understand you, but there are practicalities
Where you arrive, and where you end you are often totally different. Think of an office block with 15 floors.
The chance of taking your bike to floor 15, office 12 are often minimal, especially when your initial contact is the reception on the ground floor
I days of yore it was a tradition that a magistrate would automatically hand out a 6 month sentence for assaulting a police officer. Of course, they're don't any more and its almost a national pastime.I am old, and I have standards, I have also worked with emergency services in various forms for 40 years
I can remember the times when an Ambulance or Medic was "sacred", no-one messed with you, stole your kit, or assaulted you
Things change
I've seen it first hand, whilst on the ground/at A&E. Too often.
In days of yore innocent people would end up 'falling' down stairs at Police stations after being 'detained' by 'Officers' for no good reason.I days of yore it was a tradition that a magistrate would automatically hand out a 6 month sentence for assaulting a police officer.

Really? Straight away? Possibly out in the burbs but in the centre where reception is paid minimum wage by a firm that is contracted to a firm that doesn't even have a base in the building but are under strict instructions that there are contractual obligations to stopping people getting in or creating a security threat.They have to move with the times, lock it or loose it.
If they were going into an office block,the ground floor reception would look after it.
Hows that relevant?In days of yore innocent people would end up 'falling' down stairs at Police stations after being 'detained' by 'Officers' for no good reason.
Do we really want to go back to that.
Public spirit!What do you suggest then to help stop these bikes getting stolen?
It is a response to this post of yours.Hows that relevant?
