Can confirm. Left my 1986 SAAB 900 SPG unlocked for a decade in a couple major cities downtown areas. The only thing anyone ever took was some of my quarters. They also never broke the window to get in, and then realize it was a manual. Didn’t even take the radio, as I did take the faceplate inside with me
Do Americans even know how to ride a bicycle?
Yes, but they don’t know how to change gears.
Gears!!! This thing has gears?
Inexperienced, but possible. If only bikes worked the same way as America’s best anti-theft measure: a car with manual transmission.

They just don’t know how to start it.
