Right, the wheel is locked to the pole. If you unbolt that wheel, slide the wheel out of the dropouts, then lift the frame up I bet you could wedge the lock and get the frame off.
Why didn't he just throw the lock around the seat tube, the rear wheel, and use the fence one post up towards the front?

This. but if I'm in a rush or the post I want to lock against is too wide the rear wheel through the triangle is the best and most convenient method. the crappy thing is though if you're in an urban area people are probably gunna monkey with your **** anyway. I came back to my bike and some guy was wiggling it around in the bike rack and took off as he saw me walking toward my bike, who know how many times that's happened when I wasn't around.

Where is that? Park Ave looking southeast from like 51? The buildings in the distance look too old though. Or is it the west side?
Maybe its time for a trip back to remind myself why I left.

The city is exciting and vibrant, and obviously something of a fixed gear mecca (if such a thing or place even exists anymore -- one might credibly argue that fixed gear as a cultural phenomenon is passé), but the rides where you are now look to be unparalleled based on my observation. I think it comes down to what one values and prioritizes in life.
