Hi,
I know what it is like lost one of my bikes at Tescos Rainham unlocked (only feet away from it ,never seen it go so fast into the distance ) and another at a Shenfield rail stn locked up .
I never leave my bikes now without a lock on both wheels and when possible my dog chained to it.
Did you have policed chiped and reg.
All my bikes are now free service and stickered.
Not much else you can do just like cars if they want it they will take it.
Hope you get it back .
Bob

Sorry to hear about you bikes..

Don't leave your bikes alone locked or not.... If its expensive bike it will get stolen most likely no matter what lock you have...I've seen a guy in Stratford near old shopping center complaining police about hes stolen bike. Police can't do shit about it even if it was on CCTV.. He got advised to get a better lock and that's the end of the story. These criminals are very well organised they hit you when you least expect that. Leave a friend to keep an eye on bikes while you are buying coffee. Think twice before you leave your bike alone because next coffee might be very expensive.
