A friend of a courier I work with has had her bike stolen yesterday whilst she had her back turned on Upper Ground se1.She bent down to pick her gloves and when she got back up the bike was gone.
It is a bright red Condor Fratello with a very small frame and dual use pedals. Bike had mudguards, rack and pitlocked wheels, but they may have removed those. Also handlebar tape repaired with blue electrical tape.If anyone sees this anywhere-it is a tiny frame and stands out-please PM me.
Cheers.

Yes, she's a friend of mine, too. I was just about to post an alert. Good one, overdrive.
As the wheels are pitlocked, it may perhaps be abandoned somewhere in case of a puncture, if indeed they don't have the right tool.
It was stolen by a 'hooded youth' who quickly cycled off into the maze of underpasses around the IMAX cinema. It may of course still be in the area.

It may indeed still be around there.I go through that area quite a lot so will be keeping an eye out for the cheeky f*ckers.

My On-One Il Pomopino was stolen from outside work yesterday (Great Ormond Street Hospital) at around 6.30pm (was there ate 6, gone at 6.45). I'll post a pic- only change is I'd added blue smarties instead of flats (same colour as frame).
I'm absolutely gutted. If anyone hears anything....

someone had their brand new bike stolen from outside a cafe in Swain's Lane N6 yesterday - I saw the young scallies making it off with it on their scooters a few minutes later (they rode down our street), and not much later bumped into the victim & police who told me what had happened.
in a nutshell, the poor chap had only bought the bike 2 hours earlier... went out for a spin and only had a cheap lock. tut tut...
I took the guy's number and said I would let him know if I saw/heard anything, plus told him to check out BL, Gumtree etc...
anyway, longshot but if anyone sees a brand new white Boardman racer (happened to have a rear mudguard fitted but no front one) in what may be 'the wrong hands', post/pm here.
I think it's the model pictured here: http://www.boardmanbikes.com/road/road_LTD.html

For the record:
Last night my uncle's RED PEUGEOT PKN10 was stolen from Teddington High Street. I unfortunately do not have any photos, but, yeah, it's red. And has half-chromed forks. It has a cheap rubber saddle. The seat tube measures 58cm ctc.
I'd love to help him replace it for him, so if anyone has one like it, please let me know!
Hey! ...and another one.... Stolen from my 'secure' hallway (coded gate / entry phone etc) a couple of evenings ago in Hackney ... Little dark red Mini Moulton - features - blue valve cap on front / gaffer tape around the new chrome seatpost at the base / bent downwards rear rack from giving people lifts on it / 'Moulton' written in white on crossbar / / / not much chance I know and worth peanuts but did have sentimental value... if anyone sees it.... cheers!
