Bike theft is big business – here’s how to ensure you’re not left out of pocket

When my husband’s expensive racing bike was stolen last year, we were in no doubt it was to order. This was no opportunistic crime. From a locked shed, with the second (lesser value) bike and everything else left behind, it was taken in the middle of the night, over a high, secured, gate.

Two people at least would have been needed. He had likely been followed home and the theft planned. That, of course, is worrying for all sorts of reasons.
