Bizarrely rubbish attempted bike theft

[QUOTE=Kirth;1768634]IT happened to me during the London carnival. Police informed me that if I cut the other lock off, I could be done for damaging their property :(

so you just left your bike there and came back in the morning?

Yup, didn't sleep much that's for sure. Got back and they had destroyed el cheapo front lock, tried to break the fagh (d-lock not chain), gave up and left. Was surprised they didn't strip the bike of all the bits, or kick it to pieces...

I had however already talked to the security people so maybe they stopped them (it was on CCTV)
