I doubt the plod in Manchester would give a damn. My friend cable locked his bike to mine (without telling me) outside of a gig once and then proceeded to lose his key.
It ended with another friend cycling home and coming back with bolt cutters and we basically 'stole' our own bikes back in front of a bar full of people, two bouncers and a passing police car, not a word was said to us.
