Why on earth does a 13 year old need a £500 bike? More money than sense to spend that much on one so young.

Lightning strikes twice? Must have bought a decent lock when they bought a £500.00 bike, especial after having the first bike stolen. Looks like some details have been left out to me.

Yes, how dare anybody possess anything of worth

More like how dare anyone not learn from experience.

The same happened to me a few weeks before this girls was stolen. My £550 Carrera bike was stolen from the bike stand in my flat car park and it was locked up.

It is very sad that people stoop so low as to steal other people's possessions. I now have no bike and some idiot has either sold it or is riding around on it.
