I had my saddle stolen yesterday between 1.30 pm and 8 pm from the bike racks at the British Library. My bike was locked with a Kryptonite mini-D, and didn't appear to be tampered with.
What I think happened was that the thief knew a bit about bikes, as the saddle looked remarkably like a Brooks Swallow but black... whereas infact it was just the saddle that came with the Giant Bowery 72, the saddle of which is made by a chinese company called Gyes . And unlike the Brooks it is completely unbranded.
This leads me to believe it is pretty distinctive, (in its anonymity... if you get what I mean) so if anyone comes across it please let me know.
