Sorry to hear about your loss, Ellie. Yes, bike theft levels in Oxford are quite high. They may well be lower than in some/most/all parts of London, no idea how they compare.
I'm not assuming you don't already know this, but the problem with locking up a bike in front of your flat is that a thief can see over time when it's going to be there, how it's locked, and can come prepared.
Hope you recover it!

It took me a year to pay for it... And I enjoyed its sweet ride for two years until it was snatched from in front my flat in Oxford (and I thought Oxford was safer than London... not for bikes!).
Purple & Silver Marin Terra Linda SC2 bike taken from on the night of 03rd May (it was locked to a bike rack).
The bike has a (removable) rack, Pitlock (wheels can’t be easily removed as I have the key), some paint chipped off the frame (where the lock hit the frame), and small white paint spots on the handlebars.
If you see it around, let me know!!! I miss it like crazy...
Many thanks guys.
