I LIVE on the Sinderland estate and a few weeks ago someone entered my back garden and stole my bike which was leaning on the side of my shed.

I mentioned it to my neighbour only to find that two bikes she kept in the open had also been stolen along with another she kept in an outhouse.

I know who is responsible for the thefts but for obvious reasons I cannot name him.

I blame myself for leaving the bike vulnerable while I did some shopping, but I feel I should warn the people of Broadheath not to leave anything vulnerable, especially bikes of any size, because he doesn't want the bikes for his own use.
