yes you should take it home with you. It's your property which you are leaving it around the place for your convenience clearly it's not so heavy as it have been brought there in the first place, you should take it home again.
It's about social responsibility, how is anyone supposed to know that your lock is there because you'll use it again at some future point and one that's been abandoned so others have to then invest their money to remove your property which you've abandoned for your convenience and bugger everyone else.
It's an entirely selfish attitude to have.

Oh do fuck off you tedious pissant.
Leaving a lock on a bike inconveniences no bastard at all. Parking a car on a pavement clearly does. You made a shite analogy with absolutely no basis in reason, and are no clutching like a gimp to try to equate them.
Go on, explain to me how leaving a lock on a rack buggers everyone else? How is it inconsiderate to leave a locking device that prevents no-one else from using the rack? If it's acceptable for me to lock a bike to a fucking rack, how the hell is it selfish to leave a lock there? What possible fucking inconvenience does it pose to the other users of that rack?
In case I'm not being clear enough to penetrate the layers of social dysfunction that you appear to be wrapped in, I am less than convinced by your claims to date. Please feel free to make a stronger case.

So you don't like it when people leave their property lying around the place for their convenience?
My neighbour does this all the time when they leave their car parked in the road, rather than taking it into their drive. Bugger everyone else!
I quite like it when you get angry Garf!

Is so vanilla
My newly acquired lodger had an accident at the weekend. He was cycling home from work, was riding across a pedestrian crossing (and no, he hadn't pressed the button and waited for the green man
) a car came round the corner, they collided, he went over the bonnet, the windscreen smashed and the roof of the car was damaged as well. He's quite tall and it was a large frame bike so he/the bike apparently went over the top.Where it happened is only about 60 seconds away from my block, so he managed to stagger home, pick up his car keys, drive himself to hospital (leaving his jacket and mobile in his bedroom, because he was too shocked and out of it).
By the time I'd changed out of my PJs he'd gone, so I ended up walking up to the local hospital to give him his phone in case he needed it.
He told me he'd left the bike there as the wheel was buckled and asked if I'd go to get it. But he had a better idea and phoned another mate on the estate, who pottered along and bumped into the police.
The copper came along to A&E to take a statement and said something about "...the car that you hit..."
Whereas, obviously, his version of events is that he was cycling across the pedestrian crossing and the car hit him. When the copper said that, I thought he was going to get in trouble, because the car is pretty badly smashed by all accounts.
It's quite a notorious bend, though, for cars coming round it too fast, that's why they put the crossing there. Silly sod should have waited, because even if you don't see any cars, they can whizz round that bend in the blink of an eye.
I had a vague idea you could done done for drunk/reckless cycling or something, but I had no idea you could get points on your driving licence for something that happened while you were cycling!
