Stolen bikes

Hi, I bought my tout terrain - v rare in the uk- Via veneto from bikefix. This morning sunday was out for an hour- bike plus abus lock plus plant lock with 100kg soil (!) were removed from my front garden- I think into a van.

Please let me know if you see this bike anywhere around it's frame is a dark olive, bungey cord on the rack. Has anyone heard of plantlocks being removed like this?

Yes, I believe Look Mum No Hands had at least one stolen in this way over Christmas last year. Plant locks aren't actually that heavy in the big scheme of things, I wouldn't trust them personally. Two hefty blokes can shift one fairly easily - on their website it says they weigh c.75kg loaded up, that's only 32.5kg each.

I would also never, however well secured, leave a bike regularly locked outside in public view/in a publicly accessible space such as a front garden. But I guess you found this out the hard way :(
