This, combined with sky high bike theft rates, are why I haven't had a bike in a few years now. Sure would love to get a nice e-bike and/or recumbent trike, but they're thousands of dollars that I would essentially be throwing away. (I live in a city. Anything not nailed down gets stolen. And even some things that are nailed down.)
If only my city treated bike theft like they treated car theft...
Have you had a care stolen recently? They probably DO treat them the same.
My city invests a ton of money into cracking down on car theft and increasing punishments. They are not investing into bike lockers or even racks. It's usually a "too bad" even for thefts of high value bikes unlike cars.
