Love Padlocks

Love Padlocks on Velkoprevorske Namesti.
Apparently love padlocks are a worldwide tradition (which I had never heard of) in which lovers lock a padlock onto a fence or bridge railing such as this and then throw away the key. 

When I first saw this I was like, "Oh that's cool," but I had no idea why it was there. I figured it was some form of random Czech art (because it's everywhere). But then I did some research and now I think it's super sweet. 

Has anyone ever seen something like this anywhere else before?

P.S. Yes, I cheated and I took this picture on Satuday, but it's TOO cool not give give it's own story.
