They even cut through another bike to steal his one.

"locked to a bike rail on St John’s Street. 2 bikes locked together with 3 locks, mine was on the inside. Locked witch an Abus cable lock through outside bikes front and my bikes rear. Kryptonite Mini D through my bikes front and outside bikes rear. And Abus big D through outside bikes frame, through my (but not actually across any of the tubes) and on to the bike rail.

Cable lock was cut with big bolt cutters, undid quick release on my front wheel and cut through the frame of the outside bike to get rid of the final lock. All in all would have taken less than 20 seconds to do."

I feel for him (I know who he is) but I have to ask myself why on earth would anyone leave such a bike locked anywhere in public! What is it worth, 2-3 grand? Ouch. :(
