THE weekend of June 27/28 my husband had a day trip on the Tenacious tall ship which was an 80th birthday present from our children.

Our son and daughter came down to watch and left their bicycles at the Grand Harbour Hotel securely padlocked at the entrance.

On returning they discovered that the gent’s bike had been stolen and a broken down bike left in its place. As you can imagine, this incident completely ruined our weekend.

If you print this I hope the culprit gets to hear of it and is ashamed. Not a good advert to visit Southampton.
