Cut and tape bike theft trick
The essence of this is that thieves prep bike racks by sawing through them and taping over the cut. Don't rely on tape-covered bike racks and you should be OK.

Wow, if I see anything like that I'm going to remove the tape myself.

Another great reason to give anything you lock up to a few firm shakes before leaving.
