Sorry to hear that.
Obviously you know this now, but for others...
I used to live across the road in Dartmouth Park off Chetwynd Road.
It was a really nice, desirable, expensive road (we got a bargain rental deal, could never have afforded it otherwise) and generally crime is very low but bike thefts and car break ins were rife. Basically because Gospel Oak is across the road - which is rough as - it's actually one of the most deprived areas in Europe.
Our next door neighbour had four bikes stolen before she gave up. They cut through an inch thick railing for one and used liquid nitrogen to break another. I'd never leave a bike locked up round there in the evening for long and always kept my bike inside.
