I was working in my studio shed in the mews area in Ellington Road. The bike was unlocked. It was leading against the shed, under the window. I was working and had my back to the window at the time. The theft was witnessed by a neighbour who saw a group of boys, aged 14 to 16 or so, all on bikes, loitering around the entrance to the Mews behind No 10. One of them was seen to enter the Mews and come out with my bike. An inferior and damaged red bike was left on the pavement in Ellington Road, and was later taken away by the police, who had arrive at the scene about half an hour after the theft.
