Apparently the bike was found 100m away dumped in a back lane when they couldn't get it started.

Put the steering lock on, put a chain on, something, anything, to deter petty theives like these

Hey Phil - what about the 80 and 81 between Torpoint and Plymouth city centre? Last time I looked (Friday) they were definetly pink.

Nice street sign right behind it to chain it to, thief obviously a seasoned biker as knew to put the sidstand up with his hand. nice of the guy standing below the camera to do his civic duty.

Perhaps I am wrong then, I've never seen any pink buses though, must be the funny Cornish buses!!

What street would you say that's on then? Does the OP know?

It looked fairly common and a bit grotty, so where could that be? Devonport? Keyham? North Prospect (Swilley)? Actually, having lived in Plymouth for many years, it could be pretty much anywhere near those places. My best friend was stabbed while doing his paper round in North Prospect, because a smack head wanted to steal his mountain bike. My friends was still a child, but the smack head just saw the bike. Horrible place.

And yes, I am sure that most of Plymouth thinks thinks I am pretty nasty too, I am sure that I am greatly missed!

In fact one of you guys probably rode past me every morning as I walked to work through the Laira Narrows (another dump!).
