... but would you use it after you've seen that it's unprotected from the back?

I haven't thought too much about ATM security before, but it doesn't look very trustworthy, does it?

Thanks to Berni, who sent us the following pictures from the Beachvolleyball Grand Slam in Klagenfurt. Impressingl, these pictures have been taken in 2 subsequent years - 2007 and 2008 - and nothing has ever changed. 

Have you already recognised the issue in this picture?

It's really impressive, that you can still leave your keys at your bike in Austria, but I wouldn't recommend that. :)

One year later, at nearly the same spot, at the same time, at the same event - people haven't learned anything.

As long as nothing happens, all seems to be fine, but don't get upset, when someone steals your bike.
