Depends where you are riding.

Never had anything serious happening to me. Some close calls, yes.

Get a nice lock (no cable locks).

I bought and always serviced my bike at Grove Street Bicycles on Columbus Dr. Can't go wrong with them.

Probably. Thieves will try to sell them in Craigslist or FB Marketplace regardless; and ask for payment methods without buyer protection (Venmo, Zelle, for example) at very low prices to attract people who cannot buy one othewise.

When buyer receives (if they receive) the phone, they'll realize they don't work, and they can't get their money back.

PSA: beware of cheap iPhones in those sites in the next weeks. Especially without invoices, accessories, listed as open-box and at very low prices. Preferably use a payment method with buyer protection (Paypal Goods and Services is one, PayPal Friends & Family isn't). Ask for proof the device works. Ask for an invoice or proof of purchase.

If the above is not possible, assess the risk and make your decision accordingly
