Good evening all!
I had my new Specialized Dolce Sport stolen today near Paddington railway station. Black with a bit of grey road bike, frame size 57. It was locked just 2 meters from huge windows of Angus Steak House full of people, but it didn't help...
The only picture I have is this:

It had "test" plastic pedals and not a single scratch as it was just 6 days old.
I was terribly upset, but then realised that life is turning into a detective story and it is actually fun (it is absolutely not like this in Russia, where what is gone is definitely gone forever). So, at a specified time next week a police officer will be watching 2 hours of CCTV footage... And may see a face of some notorious bike thief....:))) And they actually told me (contradicting the info from one of the posts above) that if I find in on gumtree, I can contact them and they may meet the seller.
And then the excitement of chasing it myself in Brick lane tomorrow:)))
Please PM me if you see it being sold somewhere!
