I got out of work last night to find my bike had been chained and padlocked to another bike which was a nice looking MTB.
My bike was Dlocked to the bike rail, and the MTB was double Dlocked round each wheel and a twisty lock round the forks. The chain and padlock was round both my frame, the MTB frame and the bike rail.
They were the only 2 bikes left on the bike rail, someone had either planned to lock both bikes up to later come back and nick them (with what i can only expect to be some hench bolt cutters as we both had kryptonite Dlocks), the other person had done it as trying to be helpful (????) or the guy was just a complete dick, who inconvenienced my whole evening.
Anyway, after waiting around for 40 minutes trying to get hold of the police, my friend turned up with bolt cutters and we removed the chain and padlock, no way i was leaving my bike over night. No way im paying for a new chain either, their own stupid fault! Plus 3 other locks!!! Come on!
Anyone else had anything like this before?
