Three mistakes, actually. Even if the chain had been locked to something very tall, like a lamppost, replacing the front wheel with another would take just a few minutes: http://www.vikingbags.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/wheel-and-chain-of-stolen-motorcycle1.jpg
Third mistake is the condition of the fork legs, which ruins the fork seals.
All of what you said are truly legit issues, but the fork condition isn't a mistake (error of decision) it's an environmental effect of oxidation on ferrous metal. Since they went for the bollock and left this bike available for anyone to lift into a van and get away with, that front tire can be left on the bike till thieves have spare time and safe harbor.
