Cheers LGF, I may need to take you up on that.
I made it down to bricklane and didnt see my bike, however I suspect I did see my handlebars (Cinnelli Criteriums, which had a scratch where the left hand lever mounted...my left hand lever took a bit of a hit and rotated around a little...certainly enough to do the same sort of scratch.)
It was being sold by the dodgy OAP orientals who sell loads of bits quite evidently stripped from bikes left chained up.
The whole market makes me sick.
I did see a couple of police confiscating bikes from a couple of scragly crew cut gimps which made me feel a little better.
I am now left to commute on my RC100, which certainly will not be left outside alone...at any point
