my city has bike repair stations that are like this.

after a few months, all the tools are stolen or destroyed. now there are a ton of shitty bike repair stations around the city that are all broken.

    What we need is to replace the tools, fix up the stations, add a friendly sign that it’s a community space, and station a sniper on a nearby rooftop.

    I've read that the same thing happens to the little "library" stands, but if the person who sets them up doesn't give up, after a short time people stop stealing from them and vandalizing them and they just start using them as libraries.

    I think the theory was that after a relatively short amount of time, the assholes get bored and go screw with something else.

    I don't know how well that would work with tools, and it definitely needs to have a strong-willed person stocking it.
