It's actually solved by putting thieves in prison (by the help of flock cameras).
You don’t gotta be impossible to steal from, you just gotta be more annoying to steal from than the next guy.
Cameras don't solve crimes, Flock or otherwise, unless the cops consider the crime serious. It is almost universal that cops don't consider bike theft serious. This is beginning to change in a few cities but not most.
But Google's AI told me that Flock cameras are full of gold, so I steal those instead of bikes!

But people go around stealing Flock cameras because they want to do good things.
Theft is solved by making society better, not worse. Make people not want or reliant upon crime to survive.
