> Noone locked their bikes!

Wow this is a surreal comment. More than 65,000 bikes are reported stolen each year in Sweden [0] - but this is just the tip of the iceberg, as a stolen bike is so common that hardly anyone even bothers reporting it.

Also that actually reporting it stolen is useless. Unless you need to claim insurance, or have the number of chasis somewhere. Police won't do anything about stolen bikes.

That's not true. I reported my bike stolen and got it back.

~~Has nothing to do with that they found it when arresting the thief for something completely different~~
