Just had my trusty "Shopping" bike stolen:
I've always taken great care with my bicycles, never leave them unattended and unlocked, but my bike went missing from the hallway outside the flat. It was in an entrance that is locked but shared with the two flats next door; I can only assume that someone left the door open and someone else came along and helped themselves. It's been absolutely fine for two years, but lesson learned and the replacement won't live in the hallway or will be locked to a wall anchor.
Just in case anyone spots it, it's quite distinctive:
Not much to look at, but it rode well enough and I kept it well maintained. The galling thing is some git will only get 20 or 30 pounds for it, but it's a decent Marin Pine Mountain frame and with all the little odds and sods like mudguards and light brackets, etc., it's probably going to cost the best part of £200 to £250 to replace. Ironically, the £65.00 super heavy duty Kryptonite lock was in the frame bag and stolen with it. :facepalm:
