Stolen bikes

Make me wonder as these are so costly that if this wouldn’t end up in Holland or elsewhere on the continent. Much like stolen motorbikes.
It’s very recognisable here and very in demand and one of many there.

Really hope I’m wrong and this gets back to where it belongs.

I've been waiting to see evidence of bikes being stolen to order for years, but haven't yet seen any. As cars get stolen to order, it's certainly possible, but the most likely scenario is that thieves target bikes kept in a predictable place overnight--that's always been one of the main reasons why sheds etc. are targeted. Many people now have metal sheds in their front gardens that are noisy to open, and I've heard of very few successful thefts from those, but cargo bikes obviously don't fit into them.

There's also the possibility that thieves just look at anti-social media where people talk about their bikes, a bit like that thing a few years ago where people apparently laid a trail via Strava for thieves to find where x number of expensive bikes were kept.

If it's locked outside in the same place daily they could have taken pictures and sold it to someone who wouldn't know or even think and then gone to steal it after.
