b'stards!

Have you reported it to the police? There is CCTV around there, I believe. I was only just up the road from you at Sackville Place (opp St Saviours) all afternoon. So sorry to read this. Some people are just total scumbags.
I know that plod are useless towards stolen bikes as a rule, but you never know your luck.

Can you put a pic up on here, of your bike, us locals can keep a bit of a look out in the second hand shops and gumtree etc.

That's rotten. Sorry to hear that.

Hope you kept the sliced lock.

Some insurance companies like to see it before paying a claim.

Word reaches me some thieves take the lock they've smashed with them.

Not because they want it, but because they know it may make it harder for the victim to get a claim paid.

I'd like to know what sort of lock they sliced. Also, are there many parking spaces on Fye Bridge Street?

Commiserations and I hope you can replace it.

Hi on FYE BRIDGE there are 3 bike spaces, every now and again I looked out of the coffee shop window and could see my bike.I will replace it, last time I had a bike stolen was when I went strawberry picking to earn some money when I was a teenager so on the bright side it's been a while.

I was so cross that I threw the lock in the bin which was next to where Ihad locked my bike, so tommorow I'll go and see if it's still there thanks.

Sorry to hear this.
Quite a distinctive bike with the purple bar tape.
Can you post on local Facebook news page to put word around?
Someone will have seen something.
Hope,you get it back in good condition.
