Gumtree apparently has lots of stolen bikes - a colleague of mine was offered one supposedly being sold by a pregnant woman because she couldn't ride it any more, except the frame would have been much too big for her to be able to ride - my colleague didn't buy it...
Thanks so much for the message. Unfortunately the blue specialized isn?t mine, it was also locked to the railings so looks like it has an owner. I also had a visit from the safer neighbourhood team yesterday. Apparently that night several bikes were stolen from this area and a lot of those from the garden. I?m a bit unsure what the exact purpose of their visit was, but I?m hoping that the more people report bike thefts the more prevention can be done. Somebody must have seen the van they have loaded all those stolen bikes into! I was told the my chance of getting the bike back would be very high if somebody commits another crime, like a robbery on it. Having thought about it I?d prefer the robbery not to happen and never to see my bike again? Thanks for all the helpful comments about keeping your bike inside. This was the first night I left it outside in the garden and I think I have learned my lesson. I can?t help but think it?s ridiculous with the rents in this area that I have to share my bedroom with a bike or have to accept that it will get nicked, but hey ho?.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
