The Police are too busy fining cyclists for small 'offences'; they cant make £60 a time recovering your stuff.
Good luck, hope you find your bike! I felt lost for weeks when mine was nicked

Mary Chain, sorry to hear about the bike, post up any pictures you have in the stolen bikes thread, if you haven't already, and here is some info from the what to do if your bike is stolen thread
https://www.lfgss.com/thread52193.htmlIn the event of a theft:
- Report the theft. The Met Police are becoming much more aware of bike theft, and the special Cycle Task Force are a good unit to whom to report your loss. Their contact details:
Quote:
If it's urgent: 07768 928 456
If it's less urgent: e-mail cycletaskforce@met.police.uk
Thanks to dicki for posting these details.Quote:
City Police: If your bike is stolen in the City, call the City of London police 020 7601 2000.- You can even register your bike after a theft if you have the contact details.
- There are various DIY techniques that people have used to get their bikes back. It is not advisable to put yourself or others at risk, but it is of course understandable why people resort to DIY action, e.g. because the police couldn't help. Hopefully, with increased police action on theft, DIY bike recovery will become increasingly rare.
- Bikeshd helps with trying to find your bike on-line by scraping together pictures from around the web, e.g. from sites like Gumtree, where stolen bikes are often advertised for sale very soon after the theft. A Gumtree ad may also help the police. Stolen bikes also sometimes turn up on eBay.
- You can ask the forum to look out for your bike. Post on the Stolen Bikes thread. It sometimes works--someone may spot it and can PM you or post on the thread. A few bikes have been reclaimed after being spotted by people from the forum. Unfortunately, the nicer bikes tend not to be recovered. But it does happen.
hope you recover the bike. You're in east london so best to contact the numbers above and scour brick lane market on the weekend

Broke up with my girlfriend last night, whom I live with, I left to sleep at a friends and she holed up in our room. The bastards only stole my shit in the hallway and left her bike and belongings.
Talk about karma!
This is a straight "say as I see".
Do you, perhaps, have a suspect in this? Does the helping to look for it really convince you?
Just sayin'.
