Strange
Here's a Raleigh 20 folding bike, in decent but well-used shape. It's locked with the Kryptonite New York chain, or whatever they call teh square-link chain now, and a small Kryptonite U-lock. The front wheel was locked with a 1/2 inch cable which was cut. The front wheel was unbolted and taken.
Who is going to go to all this trouble for a 30-year-old steel 12-inch wheel? Plenty of people don't even lock both wheels, and often the unlocked one's quick-release!
Then again, bike thieves aren't always too smart. I know a guy who came out to find his wheel unbolted -- the thief didn't notice it was locked.

I'm of the opinion that you have to be either really stupid, really desperate or both to steal. We'll probably never know what that thief could possibly have been thinking.
