My bike was once locked up with two locks in central Bristol. Came back to find out that some twat had nicked my saddle
. Had to ride home standing up.

My bike had a trunk bag and clip on lights - all easily removable - so that's what caused the note.
I needed the trunk bag for the shopping, but it did cross my mind to remove the lights before setting out.
Back - almost - on topic I saw a woman in Glasshouse Street, central London, years ago struggling to start her parked 125cc motorbike.
Turned out someone had nicked the kickstarter, so I jump started it for her.
Might have been a saddle-sniffer.Nothing personally, but a work mate had his saddle knicked whilst it was was looked up outside Halfords Tritton Road, Lincoln. They must have been tooled up too as it wasn't even a quick release. It wasn't even that good a saddle. Odd.
The axle or the skewer? Or did you wheelie the whole way?Left my bike outside Milton Keynes railway station, while I went to work. Got back to find the axle for the front wheel missing. Managed to very carefully slowly ride the 4 miles home, trying to avoid kerbs, potholes and associated drops / jumps. (and I didn't fall off!)
