    I was hoping you would let us know how you got on.

    Well done for standing up for yourself!

    Oh dear. Worth reporting as criminal damage possibly? Gets it on record. Will be useful if you need an injunction.

    That happened to us once upon a time when I was in high school. My Dad solved the problem by letting one of car tyres down. Following day, Dad was driving us to school, and we saw the car parked up on the side of the road - it had a flat tyre!!! The driver obviously had to walk home and it was in the mid 80's - so no mobile phones :T

    Only problem with that is you could kill someone if you think of the potential after-math..

    Not sure how the chain was removed.

    I am sure I may never find out.

    I shall be shopping for a new one this weekend.

    Maybe put a video camera trained on your chain and just have it on when you're out. If it happens again you'll see who it is. Take the footage to the police.

    Oh and report the one that's gone missing to the police because then it will be recorded and if it happens again it won't be treated as a one off
