Shit luck. She shouldn't blame herself too much. It happens. I've got very lucky twice when I've forgotten to lock mine, once for a whole working day, and it was still there both times. Be prepared for the rack to be removed by whoever might be selling it on. However, as it wasn't locked, it may well have been someone who won't sell it on; opportunity makes thieves.

My partner had her dark grey Pinnacle Arkose stolen from outside Waitrose in the Brunswick Centre in Bloomsbury tonight. She forgot to lock it up (I know!), probably due to tiredness after a long day working in an NHS hospital, so she can't even claim on the insurance.
The bike is pretty unusual in that it has Dura-Ace 7900 shifters and mechs, and a new-ish Tiagra chainset. The rack is a Tubus Fly and it has a spare spoke in an aluminium tube taped onto it. Bars have black fabric tape on them. Frame size is small.
