Stolen & recovered - how fixed gear meant I got my bike back

waste of good noodles.

Well done on getting it back.

Not trying to be a debbie downer here but it sounds like the bike was in a sort of communal area. if so, you've gotta keep you bike in your flat. Communal hallways, sheds, garages are much higher risk.

It wasn't a communal area, me and the missus live on our own and have kind of a porch/patio/bin area with a door to the road and then door to the flat. We got home about 8 and then heard the guy about 8.15 so not sure if he was watching or just go lucky.

Best part is I've found out who the delivery driver is from the neighbours too. Also turns out he was from a chinese delivery place that does great food and it was the one menu (thai/curry/pizza) that we didn't have so he'll be getting a decent tip next time he drops off my lemon chicken and egg fried rice!
