don't worry, more than half the people (you know who you are) who have their bike stolen tend not to lock it properly/lock it in the east end of London (especially the popular Shoreditch area).
I have my bike for 3 years, locked it everywhere in London and it still hasn't got stolen, and neither my missus after I taught her how to lock it properly, where and how long for.
it's not really a rocket science, I'm pretty sure that when you go around town, you seen decent-ish bicycle that are locked with £10 lock.
I asked because it's a bit unusual to post a stolen bike from Wolverhampton in a London forum, isn't there's a Wolvehampton cycling forum where you can post your stolen bike and increase the likeihood of it getting spotted dramatically?
