orange bike stolen

Stolen today 19.08.11 near Ealing Common tube (padlocked to and boltcuttered from lamppost corner of Leopold Rd and Uxbridge Rd). Sentimental value massive.  Practical value also a problem but less important.  Dahon Hammerhead 7, small wheeled hybrid bike, orange, damaged saddle, ex-hire bike label on frame still visible reads number 22.  Please look out and call 07984 727 495. Dirty rotters.  Come on Ealing, help me :-(

One bit of advice,which I am sure you have tried already, is to scour eBay and Gumtree for it.You probably have already contacted the police, but have you tried the Metropolitan Police Service's Cycle Task Force (cycletaskforce@met.police.uk)? It is worth a try.One Ealing cyclist had eight bikes stolen from her garage, saw them for sale on eBay and got in touch with the Cycle Task Force. After a week or so, all eight bikes were returned to them. You have already done the right thing in putting the word out: I will keep my eyes peeled and I wish you luck in getting it back.

Thank you, Ben.  Didn't know about task force: emailed them.
