what doesn't help is the fact that no-one expects the police will do anything if their bike is nicked - here's your crime number, now stop wasting my time. Your bike gets nicked, you buy another. the police just aren't involved in the cycle of events.
I had a wheel taxed from the southbank this eve (didn't attempt the to break the lock), rang the rozzas for my victim number (beautifully put by them!) and when i told them that CCTV would show someone walking towards the bikes with a rucksack and then leaving with a wheel, DCI Bovva'd lost interest.
Phoning the insurance folks tomoro - they'd better pay out.
