So when I read about massive thefts like this, then I just ... don't ... get it ...

If you had really been careful, you would have locked up the bike. It sounds like maybe you were more lucky than careful since you left it out in the open where anyone happening by could have taken it. The card theft occurred inside where there were a limited number of people who the dealer probably assumed were all supposed to be there. While it's easy to look at what happened and point out how they could have done things differently that might have avoided the theft, they didn't just leave the case out in the open with no one around.
