Really sorry to read this Tom. 😥 I always use 'D' locks on my bike and if possible park under or within view of a security camera. Was your bike logged on the Bike Register scheme? Although it offers only visible protection to would-be thieves that your bike is registered, it means you have all the specific details about your bike eg. Frame number, custom parts etc. all logged. You can search its database and it shows stolen bikes so potential buyers are informed. I know this doesn't bring back your bike, but I hope this information helps for the future. 😊 Good luck! 🚵‍♂️
