The lights haven't been stolen! I don't understand it, but it's a useful observation.
You might want to secure your lights with some weird theft-proof nuts. I've thought of it, but I haven't bothered, at least not yet.
Hmm I park at home, I park outside stores and bars and stuff. Sometimes I use a bike locker, but I do use a cable lock for my wheel. I might think about doing another ulock.

"I wish I'd known about these sooner!" Hah!
My bike is a pseudo new school omafiets and fits my use cases well!
