Someone Stole My Brompton

Apologies to anyone reading this on a free software planet. If you don’t live in the South UK then this is likely of zero interest. Skip it.

Travelling on the 17:03 First Great Western Train out of Gatwick heading to Reading, I got off at Farnborough North station without my bike. Someone had taken it off already. It was quite a busy train and like an idiot I didn’t keep my eye on it.

The train Stopped at Reigate, Redhill, Dorking Deepdene, Guildford, Ash and North Camp. So it must have been taken by someone getting off at one of those stations. If you know anyone who recently came into a Black Brompton with silver trim, let me know. There is a sticker on the side for East Street Cycles (where I bought it), and it has a metal right non-folding pedal rather than the usual plastic one.

I’m a bit stuck and considerably out of pocket without it.

Update: I have been contacted by the police who have requested the CCTV footage from the train company.
