Grrrr!

Poor musique_monkey went to the Salisbury club on Mill Rd to attend the allotment society AGM on my behalf. (I was doubly excused as I would have been teaching in Norwich if I had't been floored by tonsillitis.)

As a reward, he had his bike stolen. Again. The last one was stolen just after Christmas (in broad daylight, from just outside Ken Stevens music shop). And that was a replacement for the one stolen last summer! As you can imagine, with a history like that, he'd been careful to chain it to a railing in a well lit area, but it was a well lit area on Mill Rd, near a bus stop. Some time between 8 and 9.30 some bugger took the bike, the lock, everything.

None of his bikes has been anything special, but this morning he went to Cycle King, and bought the cheapest, most ordinary looking bike in the shop. And a D lock.

Grrr! How annoying.

I was actually surprised my bike was still in our shed when I gave it to T, and I'm quite glad she's got it now because it means I'm not responsible for it. They're such difficult things to hold onto.

Well, you're userpic's cheered me up, anyway. :)

Bloody hell! The bike thieves round here are shameless.

Hope the D-lock helps.

Let's hope!

That's appalling. The d-lock is an excellent notion.

I hope so. Apparently they can still be cut through in 5 seconds--it just makes more noise.
