What to do if your bike is stolen

Also, ask the forum to look out for your bike, it sometimes works... there's been a few reclaimed after being spotted by people from the forum. Unfortunately, the nicer bikes tend not to be recovered. But it does happen.

Also, painting your frame with tartan paint will help get it back. Srsly.

I think the wording should change a bit here... Someone might think they can use a cable lock because their Holdsworth is dirty, or leave their beat up Brooks on full display in Dalston at 1am

And maybe tips to avoid that - saddle chain/wire loop, pitlocks, Tynan's anti-theft paste(TM) etc.

All done, except that I'm not recommending anti-theft paste. I think that technologically it's an evolutionary dead end.
