Pictured above: a bike locked badly to a good quality rack. Just a wrench, and a thief takes the wheel and bike away.

In the photo below: my solution to properly lock a bike to bad, low rack made wrong (to “dish rack”, outside Decathlon 🤦). Instead of inserting the wheel, I put the bike across the structure, so I can easily lock wheel and frame.

The top picture is clear but the bottom picture is too busy and flat to highlight what is being shown.

I manage to sort out what you did there. Good move. You properly locked it.
