Emily Arnold's stolen Carlton-Courette bike
The 28-year-old puzzle compiler had locked one of the bike's wheels to the frame, but an opportunist criminal still ran off with it between 5.20pm and 5.25pm.
Emily said: "I've had my lovely bike for about five years and I ride it to and from work every day. It is at least 20 years old and is quite rare so it can't be replaced.

“More importantly, what did the estate agent say?! If she's currently living on St John's lane the agent was a jedi.
Bristol 135 - Yup it's the five points, hells kitchen and inglewood all merged into one. You sir, are a moron of the highest calibre. Stay out, bedminster is in no need of a village idiot, Georgie "look at my trousers" fergie is doing a great job thanks.”

“I have an old Mixte that was thrown out. It's a delight to ride so I hope she gets her bike back, it's not something that most people would want to buy even if the thief offers it at a good price.”

“Anyone who has ever been to Bedminster will know what a horrible little place it is. I would almost expect to have my bicycle stolen were I to leave it (locked to nothing other than itself).”
