Like the title says, what gear have you picked up in the chaos across London/Brum this week?

Bike shops are great for armour btw!
I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I recently nicked a pastry brush from Habitat. Middle-class crime of the centuary?

    I got a pasty from greggs. But I used my head I only stole off the 2 for 1 shelf.

    There's a brand new Pinarello and Assos store a few doors down from Evans in Bham, I wonder if they'd honour warranties on looted stuff?

    I thought that last night when I heard they'd done Louis Vuitton over. I've got a balaclava with me today just in case :wink:

    GB Cycles in Croydon been done apparently. Hope they get back on their feet, might have to take bikes in for a service when they do.

    I am hoping it was preventative but on my way to work this morning I noticed De Ver Cycles was completely empty of bikes. No obvious signs of break in though, so fingers crossed.
