Bike Description

Folding Brompton bike with dynamo lights on front and back.  6 gears instead of the usual 3. Carrier rack on back.  Fixture on front for carrying a Brompton bag.  Bell which no longer rings sharply.  Front dynamo light has sellotape around it.  Pump is missing.  The colour is Turquoise (although Brompton call it Pistachio).  The bike is 12 years old and I'm missing it badly.  Stolen from outside Maida Vale tube station,  Elgin Ave, London W9 1JS

Theft Description

Bike was locked to bike rack with graphite D-lock.  Two men dressed as builders/workmen with hi-vis jackets and helmets placed a sheet of wood in front of the bike.  One held it while the other bent behind and cut through the lock with an angle grinder.  Two people working in a business saw the 'workmen' and thought they were doing something for the Council.  Its only when one of them saw the men walk away with the bike that she realised the noise they'd heard was the angle grinder sawing through my D-lock.  They reported it to the Metropolitan police on 101.  I wrote a report for the police online.
