I don’t ****ing believe this year so far, and I thought that 2010 was ****e, what with losing my Dad and a couple of relationships! Though, thankfully, nothing so far has been on par with 2010…. hopefully it stays that way too!
Got back from a family doo at 6PM today to find a recycling bin out of place in my back garden – odd I though, as it was far too heavy to have blown there; so instinct tells me to check the side gate.
On initial inspection I don’t fully understand what I am seeing, being dark and all, it looks like I forgot to lock the gate as it was open, but hang on…. the lock is there, and it has been done up, so what the hell…
After grabbing some light I find that the housing for the sliding bolt appears to have been attacked by a crowbar, as it is bent out of shape, not only that, but the little eyelets that the lock can go through, are actually snapped off of the main body of the bolt’s housing!!!
Checking the gate (it’s a big solid oak door) from the street-side, I cannot see any prints to indicate someone had simply booted the gate, but I guess it could have been barged…. although looking at the damage to the bolt, I think that whoever did it has done so with either a crowbar or a big ass screwdriver.
I spoke to my neighbour and he thinks that he heard banging around 2:30PM, so I expect that some scrote saw or heard the bike when I used it today then waiting until I left – scum
Sadly that could be anyone around this area, it’s not the best and part of my back garden is overlooked by a block of flats – heard a bloke out there this morning when I was checking the bike; for all I know he could have had words with his mate Dodgey Dave. Though my Mum works for the Council and there have apparently been a recent spate of bike thefts around this area… great 
I have checked the bike over and it looks untouched, both the front and rear locks are still in place and ok from what I could see, the front one is passing through the eyelets on my cover, so I would assume that the disc lock is also in place – though I’ve now done the same with the rear; though I appreciate a cover can simply be cut…. here’s hoping the big ass Almax chain can’t though and that the ground anchor holds out!
A top mate has just nipped out and fitted me a new bolt, so if these *holes planned to come back for the bike tonight, then at least they’ll have that to deal with again, I’ll also be kipping with the window open tonight (brrrrr) and tomorrow I’m going to get a couple more bolts and an intruder light.
I know that if they want it they’ll take it, but I can’t be dealing with this **** right now, too much has gone wrong in my life recently, and though it’s just a vehicle and insurance will cover it; it would be nice if life just gave me an effin break.
