much as it's despicable, these things do and will happen. until we - as a society - can provide decent alternatives for young people (other than the dole queue), increasing inequalities will lead to such occurrences. i personally know of at least one person to whom this has happened in recent months (and it wasn't on kingsland road) as well as several others who it has happened to over the years. and it's not just about nice bikes: often, the muggers are just out to beat-the-shit-out-of-you for something to do, rather than with any motive of making money off the bike.
