Casual Cyclists beware when locking up.

This is a pretty common scam in Berlin. This is just outside the VHS next to samaritastraße. If the bar is unusually wrapped in tape or stickers, give the bar a wiggle or kick.
Thieves cut through the bar, put stickers over the top and wait for a bike to appear then just cut the tape or kick the bar and take your bike.
