There is bike racks for most spots. I personally prefer parking at the north side though.
Source: Eindhoven is my city :)
But like... Some people do leave their bikes there completely unlocked?? I live in a city in the US that has decent (by US standards) bike infrastructure, and everyone I know that has a moderately decent bike is pretty paranoid about where they park it. No one would ever leave a bike unlocked, and even many bike racks aren't considered secure enough for anything other than a total beater bike.
No, bike theft is a thing also in the Netherlands
Most bikes come with a frame lock for short stops, and they are usually paired with a chain lock for more security.
I would imagine the bikes that are not secured to a rack in the picture are locked twice. Personally I don't trust that at the station (too risky) and I always lock it to a rack with my chain lock
You can sometimes find your bike in a nearby market for a fee. By a fee I mean they stole it and they are selling it back to you.
There is a bit of a running joke in my city that if your bike got stolen you can buy one for five euros at the station. Just approach the guy with the bolt cutters.
