Stolen bikes

Following my amazing bike being stolen, I tried to refer the theft to the task force team. Firstly they wouldn't deal with it as police had closed file day after theft. After hassling them, I was told that there are 12 officers for the whole of London, that they dont investigate individual bike theft, but are only concerned with organised teams of bike thieves. I did point out the stupidity of his statement. I also suggested they hang out at Broadway market every sat morn. He said they don't have the staff for it.
He said they also have the important task of making sure cyclists cycle safely around London.
Wtf do they do? oh yes nothing.

Did you read that thread?

Tim, I'm not sure whether they want Titus' personal contact details posted on-line. Things might not be picked up if he's not on duty. dicki was given the other mobile number to call. You might want to edit that.

I've just added something to the other thread about being cautious about posting on-line when you've found your stolen bike on Gumtree or elsewhere, following Rowhan's experience.
