I heard it was stolen by the Surbiton women's guild who just wanted to sniff the saddle and pleasure themselves with the handlebars that dreamboat tory 'Dave' has touched with his own fair hands.

Aw, whatever you think of a individual, it's not nice to have a bike pinched...

Great quote:

Tom Bogdanovich of the London Cycling Campaign said he hoped the theft would not discourage Mr Cameron from using his bike.

Indeed it isn't.

Did I miss something in the article, or does it not tell us whether the bike was locked?

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

I've got it on eBay for £50 if anyone's interested...

What Arch said, it ain't good having a bike nicked.

Happened to me a few years back when I was at Uni and the t**ts broke into the bike shed and nicked the front end of my mountain bike. I wouldn't have been so pissed off if they had taken the whole bike but to come equipped to take the bars, gear and brake levers and sus forks rubbed salt into the wounds a bit.

Sounds like he did not lock it to something, just locked it to itself.

according to that fine paper of unbiased reporting, the Daily Mail, he'd locked it to a bollard and the bike, lock and all, was simply lifted up and off it and away they went. Clearly Mr C had his mind on important matters of state when he locked it up or he'd have noticed this rather obvious shortcoming of a bollard as a security device.

Didn't the people in the car that follows him around notice anything?

oh dear. Not the sort of person you want running a country really.... Although I'm sure we've all done daft stuff like that and been lucky to get away with it...

Is that you will offer us 50 beer vouchers if we take it of your hands ?

Seriously as others have said, theft is theft whether the person is liked or not.

Chained to a two foot bollard?

In Portobello Road?

With their reputation?

The man's a cockwit.

Upset: David Cameron calls for help after his bike went missing

 

[fossyant]

Is that woman pushing a pram or making off with DC's bike?
