As someone that lives in a part of a city where Lime doesn't operate, I see people on stolen bikes all the time. The bikes make a clicking sound to try and annoy the thieves, but the thieves don't care.

Yeah, I agree it is the same here. What I mean is that if you ride it without paying and then leave it in one of the designated locations or near one of them and there is no permanent damage to the bike the company (I think) will not count it as stolen, will recharge it and keep using it.

So in that sense stolen are only the ones that are impossible to recover.
