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.
Thanks Oliver. She’s pretty upset. Closest I’ve come is leaving my keys in the lock for about ten minutes while I went into Mosquito Bikes, still there when I came back.
I’ve marked it as stolen on immobilise.com and will be trawling Gumtree and eBay for a few days.
