Old layabout
Had this stolen a few days ago
I kid you not. Was in the local 'Spoons, and went across the road to get my bike, and it was gone.
I was saying only recently on another thread that these were the ideal bike to leave locked up in town - eating my words now.
As luck would have it, I made my way to get a bus home, spotted my bike and the thief, just up the road. He'd stopped by a doorway already occupied two other rough sleepers. I went over and asked could I have my bike back, very politely, and the look of disbelief on his face was so funny.
Anyways, happy to have it back, and had to get another new D-lock, this time Kryptonite brand, so even Superman can't take my bike now
Posting this as a heads-up, if a five quid clunker like this can be stolen, then really nothing is safe - careful how you go folks.
