You have to have seen it to believe it. I was gazing out of the window during one of my classes and I saw someone approach my bike, thinking he was going for the one the other side of the post, fiddled with my lock, pulled the chain out and was off before I knew what to do. Tried to run out after him, but he was gone.
Filed the police report but was so taken aback at the time I couldn't even remember what he looked like,

Anyway:
DATE:
TUES 19th JULY AT EXACTLY 1930hrs

It doesn't have the panniers any more.

It was stolen from RIGHT outside HSBC back, opposite Angel Tube station. I don't know if anyone was around there at lunch time, but its the one which was lying on its side, looking a bit forlorn (I picked it up when I had a break).

No other distinguishing features. This bike has mega sentimental value, although financial loss isn't so much.
