That's terrible. Hope you're on the mend, it's worth posting this on the stolen bike thread too. People following that thread are very vigilant and helpful!
Where did this happen, sometimes bikes don't stray very far at all.

The theft happened on Eversholt Street, somewhere between Euston and Mornington Crescent.
Been in touch with the Police today, and it there was no bike next to me when I was found, so it was stolen whilst I was unconscious on the floor.

Absolute result. Just had a call from the policeman on duty that found me on Friday night. Apparently when he found me I told him in my concussed haze that I had had my bike stolen, he has the initiative to go through my mobile phone to find a picture of my bike and send it to himself, then finds my bike (being ridden by a scalywag) and locks it up outside the hospital I was sent to. He wasn't on duty till today. So my bike had been locked up outside the hospital the whole time, and the person who he found with the bike has been arrested!
Unbelievably chuffed, and impressed with both the police and the general public. I can't believe a titanium swift, Delta brakes, and the carradice bag didn't get pinched.

Amazing! So was it definitely a chain fail or did the little shit knock you off on purpose? I ask as it sounds like you may have been jumped - especially as he was riding it when he was nicked.

Touch!
Make sure you treat that Copper to some Cookies! Good to share around the treats when great stuff happens!
(My pinarello got nabbed few weeks ago, and the City Police got it back for me after I spotted it on gumtree)

Talk about above and beyond the call of duty.
Oh, and heel up quick, as well. Bikes are important, but people are far more valuable.
Hi,
on Friday Night at 5am my chain snapped on my Colnago on my way home. This resulted in my nose breaking as I hit the floor and unconsciousness. I awoke in hospital to be told that my bike hadn't been taken with me or collected by the police.
It is a Colnago C91 in Purple,
Campagnolo Record 10sp carbon Groupset,
Campagnolo Delta Brakes,
Brookes Ti Swift saddle,
ITM Marathon bars with black lizard skin tape,
Halo wheels
There was a carradice saddle bag on the back too.
If anyone knows where it could be I would really appreciate it, also please keep a look out for it on Scumtree or the bay...
