Theft Description
This Mercurio RA5 "M" bike had its last trip on the 22 Apr2015, from Loughborough to the NEC Birmingham and return to attend the Sustainability live event. It arrived back home safely, it was tied to its usual home: a steel thick strong chain around a concrete post with its D-lock and additional chain lock around the front wheel. Last time we've look at it was about 2:30 am on the night of the 24 to 25th of April. Assuredly, it was stolen during that night or early in the morning. No sign or remains of the D-Lock or from the chain lock. The steel chain is still there intact, with my house mate's Apollo Female mountain bicycle tied to it.
