Haha, I'd love to know in what situation you'd be in such desperate need for a front brake that you stole someone elses!
It seems so pointless. Given the aspirational location and the fact they had an allen key my first thought was it was someone who thought the lever looked cool and wanted it for themselves. Cannot understand why they took the brake itself as it's rubbish! Whyever they did it, I hope it was worth it.
I don't mind riding without brakes but I prefer having one, especially as my commute is pretty ugly. Oh well. At least they didn't take my bike and leave the brake.
