Such were the joys of anthropological research

Hi all, I'm researching bike theft for a postgraduate anthropology project and trying to find a bike thief to interview. I've been hanging around bike racks hoping to bump into a thief but so far haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of a current or former bike thief that would be willing to speak to me in confidence? If so, please ask them to drop me a line at ryan.dunn.13@ucl.ac.uk

The research is being conducted in compliance with the Association of Social Anthropologists ethical guidelines (http://www.theasa.org/ethics.shtml) and I will not be sharing the information with authorities or any other third parties. As is standard practice in anthropology all informants will have their names changed if quotes are included in my dissertation.

Hi John, sorry to hear about your Bianchi. I'm researching bike theft for a postgraduate anthropology research project at the moment. Would you be willing to be interviewed about the theft? If so please drop me a line at ryan.dunn.13@ucl.ac.uk
