Bike Description
The bike is a road bike (thin tyres) but with flat bars, as opposed to drop bars. The frame is half red (front) and half black (back). At the back there is a Shimano Sora gear set with 9 gears. At the front there are three derailleurs. The bike is size Large. I had installed a bottle cage on the bottom tube of the bike and, at the time of the theft, it contained a purple-ish coloured water bottle.

Theft Description
My bicycle was stolen. I parked my bicycle right outside the Jobcentre Plus on Maygood Street N1 0EX - there are a few bike stands. My bicycle is a Triban 520 flat bar road bicycle from Decathlon. It is red and black in colour. It had a bike cage with a purple-ish water bottle in it.

This was at approximately 7:15 pm. When I came back at approximately 9:45 pm, it was gone with no trace. The thief had taken the whole bike and the lock (they had not just cut it and left it there). I checked the street 3 times and a lot of the surrounding side streets but I couldn't find any trace of the bike. The bike was brand new so I hadn't even had a chance to purchase insurance. In fact, I had just purchased the lock that evening on the way to dinner. Please please could you help me trace the bike? This is a huge loss and I won't be able to afford another bike for quite a while, I'm absolutely devastated.
