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?.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
