Not a good thing to see when unlocking my bike after finishging work yesterday evening.
I have to lock my bike to supporting pillar of a metal shelter, basically two peices of box steel bolted together, as my workplace provides no cycle racks. This means theat my bike sticks out into the shed by quite a way and can be an obstruction. So I went to my bike and found it had turned a few degrees to the left and a red moped (BX59 HNE) had parked behind and had obviously moved my bike's rear end to fit in. Moving the bike without care around the post to which it was locked meant a large scratch was created down the left chainstay which was leaning against the post.
I haven't an idea whether it has scratched the paint itself or just the surface lacquer. What should I do to prevent any further damage to paint and/or frame?
I have been in contact with security and my H/R manager and CCTV footage will be checked and a report filed.
