red batavus professional nicked (along with charge mixer) Exmouth Market - today at 5pm.
bought on the forum a year and a half ago and done some serious miles since....
lifted from outside cafe nero in very busy conditions. they c^nts were so obvious someone had already called the cops by the time we got there (i had checked on the bikes no more than fifteen minutes previously).
my mate had forgotten his lock so we locked both bikes with my cable. two for one must have proven irresistable. right under a cctv camera as well....apparently pics of the guys eyeing them up, but nothing incriminating. the rozzers seemed fairly proactive - got a call an hour later asking for more details of the bike, since they had stopped a 'known' on a red road bike.....but alas, not the battybus.
seriously painful. and the DD only five days away.....
