Stolen bikes

it was locked with another bike... i went outside to unlock the other for my mate, then we got involved in a really really heavy conversation for a couple of minutes - i got distracted and went back inside. it wasn't locked! two minutes later we noticed it was gone - we could see from where we were sitting!!! :-(

Oh, shit. How utterly frustrating!

I once unwittingly left my bike not locked in Central London, at my usual locking-up place, in full view of passers-by, for an entire day. When I returned and found it not locked but still there, I almost died. It's a horrible feeling.

A huge number of bikes have been nicked from outside the PotP over the years. It's quite an awkward environment where the sightlines aren't too good. Commiserations.
