Hello, Someone stole my bike tonight (Monday), between 21:00 and 23:15. It was locked up on Regent Terrace, just next to Parkers Piece and very near The Hogshead. It's a very distinctive bike, so I'm hoping that if someone sees it around they may be able to help it get back to me. It's a Pashley Tube Rider and here's a picture of it from the Pashley website: http://www.pashley.co.uk/images/products/380/tuberider.jpg My one had a black plastic "Crud Catcher" front mudguard attached, light brackets and blue PVC tape on the top bars to cover up where the paint had worn away. It was locked up throught the frame with a Squire Paramount Plus D-Lock, but I assume that's been removed by now. Please email me (removing the .spamtrap) if you see it around, or have any information! Many thanks, Charles D N Thomson

The police recovered mine with 68 others. It really is worth registering it as stolen with then if you haven't already. Apparently, about 60% of the recovered bikes can't be returned to the owners, as they don't know who they are.

If the owners are suffering that degree of amnesia, perhaps they just mislaid their bikes, rather than them being stolen? -- "now, the thing you type on and the window you stare out of are the same thing"

I've had a bike stolen from Regent Terrace too. It was securely locked to a rack. I'd recommend that people don't leave expensive looking bikes there, its obviously an easy target for people that know what they're doing.

In case this is news to anyone, you can get your bike security-marked at Station Cycles, between 5 and 7pm on the first Wednesday of the month -- TOMORROW, for example. I believe it's free.

Surely they could just ask someone around them?
