It seems that locks aren't just simply used to keep property secure from theft and vandalism any more. For decades now a custom has slowly been creeping across the world whereby loving, romantic, and sometimes superstitious couples have decided to write messages on padlocks, attach them to certain landmarks in specific areas - more often than not railings and fences - and then throw away the key.
The practice, as well as symbolising a couple's unending love for each other, is in some countries thought to bring good luck to a relationship.

I saw locks on the bridges in Venice and didn't know why they were placed there. Thanks for educating me.
