Stolen bikes

I haven't read through all of this post yet but at the end of the day if someone wants a bike they will get it. I have mates that work in Soho and you'll be surprised what they get offered, even brand new bikes with price tags turn up. The best/worst one that I heard about was the Russian gang in a van that were stealing bikes and they had a hydraulic cutter which just went through any lock or railing and this puts me off riding to work if I need to lock my bike up outside ;o((

Yep! Used to work in Soho, saw that happen once. Van pulls up, 2 fellas jump out, hydraulic cutters, 2 motorbikes in the back off the van, off - all in 20 seconds in broad day light on Broadwick St
