Bike Lock without a Bike

Originally uploaded by tyfn.

Around campus there are a variety of bike stations where you can leave your bike (which hopefully will be there when you return). Of interest to me is the mystery of the bike lock minus the absence of any evidence of a bike. Has the bike been stolen? Any ideas?

Relevance: Want to know if I should be more cautious at these locations or is another explanation probable?
