Unbelievable, they got it back, praise for the Police!

you ok, snowy?

buy the security gard a box of chocs they will love you and be more willing to help others in the future.

I wouldn't read into what happened too much but a box of chocolates would go along way. I work at a london hospital (dont want to say more than that) and a certain lethargy prevails amongst the security guards because 9 times out of 10 their efforts are scuppered by poor CCTV coverage and other frustrating issues. They also are regularly treated as the lowest of the low by members of the public and sometimes their own colleagues.

Can only be a good thing that they are rewarded in a small way for getting a result even if it is something you'd expect them to do as part of being professional. Praise can be few and far between. A little bit of appreciation would go a long way to making sure they react positively in situations like this in the future. Especially at a time when many london NHS staff are in the frame for redundancy as a result of the mentally ill fated NHS reform plans.

Nice to hear a happy outcome. And as for the porter, with a bit of luck this will be the wake up call he/she needs to get themselves back on the straight and narrow once punishment has been served.

EDIT: Just noticed the age of this thread.

Nice to hear the bike was recovered. Good work to the Police, let's hope the thief was dealt with appropriately, cycling enthusiast or not.

That's quite a dredge young feller!

Its not the first time today either!

It wasn't, though, it was all a hoax.

Give him a break, he's only five years old. :)

It's an improvement on "^bump"

great to hear you've got your bike back. I imagine the lowlife who nicked your bike will be punished accordingly.
Had a bike accident 4/5 years ago, lots of blood and a broken jaw / fractured knee cap. I begged that bike came with me in to A & E ( I don't carry a lock ) and happily they agreed. Later I rode it 9 miles home. Slowly!

So you were in hospital at the exact same time this thread stopped being current? What a coincidence!

da lynchman ?

either way.. can we all agree - fuck the police.
