Warning: Razor blade in saddle.

There's been an email going around my department and my GF's college saying that a student found a razor blade inserted into their saddle on Mansfield Road.

Here is the email I received:

Dear all,

Please see the below picture that was forwarded to us earlier today.

A student found this razor blade stuck into his bicycle seat. The cycle was parked in Mansfield Road public cycle racks.

Take care when leaving your bicycle in a public place and do check before you get on and ride away

This does appear to be an isolated incident but if any similar incidents are reported to you please inform OUSS as soon as possible.

Thames Valley Police have been informed.

what the actual fuck! what kind of fucktard would even i just cannot imagine fucking oxygen thieves...words fail me.

pedant alert: its a Stanley blade

That takes some force. I suspect this is a possible attempt to slash the saddle ending up with the stanley blade getting stuck. Has the owner spurned someone in favour of riding their bike too much, the old you love that bike more than me rant?

If I wanted to hurt someone by leaving a blade in the saddle I would not leave so much exposed.

Not much force if it's a phatty sponge saddle. Was it jammed right into the base layer like a stab or just pushed into the paddings?
