I once dismantled and repaired a friend's bicycle as it was locked in a very  
obvious position in front of the UC Berkeley undergraduate library.  This was  
during the day, and a lot of people passed by.  I must have spent over an hour.

Nobody challenged me.

I believe that no public, unsupervised parking spot is safe.
