    I've been fortunate enough to not have my own bicycle, or parts from my bicycle stolen.

    Yes:-((. Had my nice Merlin Rock Lobster stolen from Cardiff city centre in September. It was locked to a standard Sheffield stand with a chunky flexible cable lock that cost about £50. The thief took the lock with him so I don't know if it was cut or smashed. Saw the **** riding off, but no chance of catching him.

    Insurance was a pain to sort out, but at least I got another nice bike as replacement.

    Yes, one time i got my entire mountain bike stolen. I locked it up with a braided steel cable right at a busy street intersection right by the movie theaters. Somebody just took a bolt cutters to the cable and rode off with the bike. I was pissed. and i was only 12 years old.

    Another funny sight in Edinburgh, near the Sheriff Court. An entire bike threaded over a lamp post, through the FRAME! It was gradually malkied

    over the weeks until only the bent frame was left!
