Wow those pictures are scary! Definitely not theives. That's psychopathic anger towards your bike. Can you imagine the noise it would have made? Somebody saw something for sure.
What worries me is that to have so much anger towards a locked up bike is madness.
What tools would they have been carrying?
We should definitely lock up a cheap bike there and see what happens.
It was either that bloke in the window. (Why else would he not give you answers?!)
Or a group of young thugs who are doing it to rebel against....? whatever it might be.
I used to live there and have seen attacks on cars, shops, window, park furniture etc.
Around the corner there's a small car park which when I passed once, every single car (x7) was slashed and bricked.
In fact, it's at the end of the road where your bike was!
I'd imagine you're not the first to have their bike fucked with. Like someone pointed out, if you have to lock your bike don't do it near a side street.
I'm pleased you have brought this to light and hope you're back riding asap.
