[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]My bike was taken from my flat by my flat mate’s friend (who is a friend of mine). He was drunk and high on drugs at the time, having never ridden a track bike before; he took it for a ride to Soho in the early hours of the morning on the 10th February, without my knowledge. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]He left me a voice mail saying it was stored safely in a hotel lock up and he would return it. Apparently he met some girls staying in a hotel, had a 3some in their room and was too drunk to ride it back. This was over two weeks ago and I have not been able to get hold of him since. His phone is off and I have no way of contacting him. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]He has a past history of mental imbalance having spent time in hospital; he claims he has visions through his 3rd eye and believes that he was a samurai warrior in his past life. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I have just discovered he has been recommitted to hospital. This leads me to believe he either sold my bike and paid for two hookers in a hotel with the money or it’s been stolen because it was not locked. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I have been left with no other options but to report it to the police. It’s a very sad situation, not only because I have reported a friend to the police, but because he is clearly very disturbed mentally.[/SIZE][/FONT]

The back wheel is now black, laced to a white Profile and on the front, a custom white Hed 3 seen below.
So if anybody was approached by a mental person in soho or has seen it anywhere let me know!!
