I live in Cambridge - not heard of this bloke and set-up. Top work Omar!
Thieves are so brazen once they get their mitts on a Lithium-Ion powered angle grinder - pretty much no lock lasts more than seconds. As for not approaching them - I wish I gave the toerag a swift kick in the plums from behind as he was hunched-over my Orange years ago in London. Instead, weirdly, I pretended to be Police, got his hands behind his back, on his knees, then didn't know what to do next! He had a home-made 'multi-pin' tool to try and get into my Kryptonite d-lock. I guess I was lucky returning to my steed when I did
