First post so I can only reply at the moment.
I had a nice 2 month old Fuji track bike stolen from outside the Canton Arms (between Stockwell and Brixton) last Friday night. It was locked to a streetpost with an Abus Steel-O-Flex right OUTSIDE the pub
I can't be sure how it was stolen as the bike and lock were gone but my best guess is that they removed the sign (there were two brackets on the pavement) and lifted the bike clear over the top of the post. It retrospect it wasn't the tallest post but it was still a good 8 ft.
It's a pretty distinctive bling paintjob http://www.fujibikes.com/Specialty/Track/TrackComp.aspx and it's mine if the front wheel been replaced with a standard Open Pro rim on a pewter Goldtec hub. Condor black brake lever, chrome tiagra brake and spd pedals on it too.
I'm not expecting to get it back but if you can you bear it in mind if you're on ebay or Gumtree for the next few weeks.
If nothing else remember to lock a bike to a post that high enough, or is shaped such that the bike cant be removed by lifting. I feel such an idiot for being done like this.
