the bottom one isn’t staged… they locked up their bike upside down

Or, the bike was locked as described and the frame stolen, but the disordered wheels didn’t make such a good photo. In setting up the wheels to highlight the conspicuous absence of the frame, the photographer turned one the wrong way. Dorks.

By the way, do you think the top one is staged?

south is correct – if the two wheels belonged to the same bike. It is possible two separate bikes were locked by one wheel only and both bikes were taken. The thief would have gotten a whole bike and a spare frame and running gear!

On a geek site, continuity errors are totally fair play imo.

Next time stage it up better :P

That bottom pic is more than likely staged. It is easy to see that the left wheel is the front and the right one is the back because of the gears. All bikes have the chain and thus the gears on the right side of the rear wheel. So either someone decided to turn the wheel around for some reason after the theft or the whole thing was staged.
