The (vast, I think) majority of bike theft is from homes, sheds, etc. Street theft occurs, obviously, but it's far behind.
Police in E5 found a bike thief near Chatsworth Road a couple of years ago who had his entire house full of bikes, and I can't imagine they're not already on the case here. It's just that when a crime spree with a certain modus operandi starts to happen, there's always a bit of a time delay before the police can get active.
