I'm convinced this wasn't an opportunistic theft. We are a mid terrace house so no access from a side alley. You'd have to go over neighbours garden to get into ours. Also, I only use this bike to do long rides at the weekend so it's not as if someone has seen me on it a lot or going in and out of the house with it a lot. I appreciate the comments about locks but you would have thought that it would be safe to keep a bike in a heavily padlocked shed. The worst thing about this episode is that I'm now suspicious of neighbours as it would have to have been someone that watched me put bike in the shed.

The police have been very good to give them their dues. What's annoying is that now we feel like there are thieves among us in our street and that leaves a bitter taste. I doubt if anyone will be caught and it's this sort of petty crime that ultimately destroys communities because no one trusts eachother.Thumbdown
