Crowbar appeared to be used to break into wooden panelled communal bike shed. Bike had been removed from where it was locked (gold secure) to racking bars set into the concrete floor. Rear light had been dismantled with batteries strewn across the floor where the bike had been. The bike had only been moved into this bike shed the previous weekend, and had been used daily during the week for commuting. Saturday morning was first day the bike had remained in the bike shed. Theft appeared to be timed for when gates to communal areas opened (they are locked 7pm-7am). Bike shed observed ok when neighbour left for work at 7am, and was found compromised at 8.25am. No other bikes within the shed were stolen, despite some being of high value. Police comment that bike may have been stolen to order.
