As much as it may be a surprise to learn so, the only taxes that our government put on bicycles are income tax (from businesses run from bicycles) and VAT (our version of sales tax, which happens to be 20% at the moment).

Code:
If shed has lock
Shed must have valuable stuff in it
else
shed empty

If shed looks pretty
Shed must contain valuables
else
shed's not worth bothering with
end if
As you do...
