That's kind of a dumb test. If I make a bicycle out of gold and diamonds and someone steals it, the theft will be taken seriously. Police just respond to crimes of different dollar amounts differently. It has nothing to do with the nature of this vehicle.
Edit. I haven't seen any more details on these vehicles, but it's clearly labeled a vehicle. I'm guessing it's registered and would be treated as an automobile theft.
That isn't really true. Police have a unique disdain for everything related to bicycling and cycling. Most cops are themselves morbidly obese, ideologically avoid exercise, and view bicyclists as hippies and fitness freaks who deserve to be run over. Police will go out of their way to not bring charges in the case of actual cyclists deaths. And they treat bicycle theft with active disdain, putting far fewer resources into bike theft than the value of the goods stolen would justify.
Is this satire? I can't tell it seems like you're serious but definitely reads as satire. Good luck.
