Re:
I run a home based cycle repair business and keep my visual profile low simply because I am not a flashy person by nature and blatant advertising would not be in keeping with the neighbourhood. As a result I am somewhat paranoid of being viewed as nefarious or a boot fair bandit and am now thankful for a decent website and matching google rating. On my website and premises I have notices that I will not have any association with stolen bikes and if I am suspicious of any machine it it reported to the local plod. Unfortunately because of the fragmented approach to bike theft by the police a negative response by the police to anything I report to them does not always give me piece of mind.
