Very little bike theft here, even in some quite sketchy locales. I've almost stopped worrying about it. Given the number of cameras in central London, it wouldn't be rocket science to have a crack down on the professional gangs that target the bike parks in the centre. My impression from having 2 bikes nicked, is that they just don't care. The last one, the landlord of my local called them as it was having the chain cut and pushed, alarm going off, into the back of a van - he gave them plates / descriptions / the lot. They didn't even come out.
It’s just really disappointing at this point and then you have to claim your insurance and they are as difficult as they come but class at screwing you
