  • Don't feel stupid, but it's always important to be aware that any locking mechanism can be overridden.

    Did the person(s) who tried to stop them not stick around? It would have been good to have a witness or witnesses.

    Hope the police are more interested than in most bike thefts. Perhaps the footage of the violence will make it more of a priority. Good luck getting it back.

    I wasnt there, the CCTV footage (which I got described not actually seen because GDPR or something) shows that a deliveroo rider confronted them and was threatened with the angle grinder, he also tried to pull them away holding their backpack and kicked them while they were riding away. Absolute hero, I wouldnt have done all that.

    Its not an easy bike to ride without a battery so they wouldnt have gone far unless loaded into a van or something.

    Both police (on 101) and shopping centre security people were very helpful.

  • Thanks, perhaps the delivery rider can be found. Witnesses are invaluable in cases like this. Again, good luck. Was it just one perpetrator? Being threatened with an angle grinder has happened before, very very frightening. For that alone, whoever it was deserves to be taken out of circulation.
