Hey, just thought I'd let people know but an incident today. I work in a shop on Upper St, just outside Angel tube station. Today, I saw a guy outside the shop looking quite forlorn clutching a broken cable lock. Needless to say his bike had been nicked.
One of our in-store CCTV cams point to the doorway and caught the guy who stole his bike from the railings outside. At exactly 5:30pm on one of the busiest high streets of North London this guy managed to calmly cut it free and stroll off with it.
Description: this is the surprising bit, he was about 6ft, caucasian with white hair (I'm guessing about 60s from the low res CCTV), wearing a brown jacket and colourful (green & purple?) rucksack. He didn't look like your stereotypical bike thief but this guy looked like he'd done this before. So all you guys who ride round Islington keep your eyes open.
