Bad thefts all, the Claud Butler especially. That's so distinctive that it should find its way back to him if it stays in London (by no means certain).

Thanks guys, I've passed on the info to the owner. Looks like the ones. I'll post on here with the outcome!
(I'll nudge him to get some proper locks)

Bedfordshire Police recover over 100 stolen bikes, sorry for crappy facebook link
We received a report from a member of the public on Thursday 2 July, reporting a stolen bicycle being advertised for sale via social media. Officers attended the address of the seller in Bedford, and a 41-year-old man from the town was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods. He has been released under investigation while police enquiries continue. Officers recovered in excess of 100 bikes at the property. PC Jade Kilbey, investigating, said: “This was a proactive arrest carried out off the back of intelligence provided by a member of the public who had been a victim of bike theft. The number of bicycles we have recovered is significant and it would be great to be able to reunite some of them with their rightful owners. “We would urge anyone who has had their pedal cycle stolen within the Bedford area in recent weeks to get in contact with the make, model, colour and serial number of their bike, along with any other distinguishing features. “Please bear in mind our contact centre is extremely busy and must prioritise emergency calls, so please use our online reporting centre to provide details, using the crime reference 40/35795/20: https://www.bedfordshire.police.uk/…/Report-…/Report-a-crime

Holy shit. That's insane.

What would be really interesting would be if they had any information as to where they were all stolen. Or at least some of them. I'd guess that's not something they can find out unless the owners somehow miraculously get in touch. Good police action. Sadly, from experience, most of these will probably end up being auctioned off, unless, say, they were all stolen in Bedford and it's easier to contact theft victims or for them to hear about it and contact the police.

Totally heartbroken, my newly put together Cannondale Supersix with Dura wheels, pedals and shifters, FSA SLK crankset and fizik saddle just got nicked from literally inside my hallway in Walthamstow this morning (had the door open while i went upstairs to get some rubbish to chuck out, someone just ran in and nabbed it, nuts.) If you see it anywhere, please let me know.

My Girlfriends grey Leader fixed gear bike was stolen in Beckenham Park outside the Homestead cafe yesterday. They broke Into the secure staff bike storage compound and stole a load of bikes. If anyone spots it get in touch and double lock it. It has a reynolds ouzo pro carbon fork ,rear mavic ellipse wheel, bontrager cranks and a Thomson stem and seatpost. It's a size 46 / xs since she is 5ft 3 tall.
