That's right by my work place. You didn't leave it in the bike bays by Costa did you?

Ah. I saw this on FB yesterday shared by Scott Biz. I said I'd keep a look out (I'm Dave Itzy) - sorry I didn't see anything!

Sad

As this question seems to be being ignored I'm going to ask again, was it locked?
This is relevant as for 2/3rds of that bike bay there is a locking bar that no one seems to bother to use.

Its starting to annoy me that various groups and individuals campaigned to get these locking bars fitted on bike bays all over the capital and then people don't use them and complain most vociferously when their bikes are stolen. Yes people shouldn't steal others property but also people should take reasonable care so their property isn't stolen.

If it's any consolation, every time there's a ground anchor available, I stick a 16mm almax through it and my rear wheel (PITA to remove on a scooter). I'm very happy when they're there.

Particularly nice are the ones bolted into the sides of buildings, just alongside pavement lights (glass block grids).

There's always hope of a recovery - mine was recently taken from outside my house & found by the plod in a hedge about half a mile away.

Oxford Boss Disc Lock only I'm afraid Sad

I have never parked there before and only went there due to my usual place on St.Mary Axe being full.

My usual place doesnt have anything to chain it to. Hence why I don't carry a chain.

Lovely bike, I'm gutted for your loss.
Did the disclock have piezo alarm? If not maybe next time a Xena one would be a better buy. They certainly
seem to have a better reputation than Oxford, and maybe the noise drawing attention may have at
least provided a couple of witnesses.They are pretty shrill, and trigger as soon as the bike is moved or is tampered with.
Hope you get it back undamaged but suspect its on its way to Poland for a new identity.

I work literally minutes from those bays but would never leave my bike there, even with a chain. Have heard too many stories of stolen or damaged bikes there. My colleague got his mirrors stolen from his XJ6 and another colleague had a great big scratch left of this side of his burgman.

hence why some call me overkill but if i cant lock my bike to an immovable object then i don't park there and take public transport.
having had 3 bikes stolen makes me extremely paranoid

Sad I'd not trust a disk lock at all. I'd have chained itself to itself, through rear wheel and over the swingarm or something. Still means they can lift it but a chain is probably more likely to deter them than a disk lock.

Or if there's another bike with a chain there, loop your chain through theirs (chain, not bike!).
