An Orro STC Gold was stolen outside London Independent Hospital between 19:20 and 20:00 yesterday. The bike was double d-locked and had two cables but these were cut straight through. A reminder that with the right tools, every bike is vulnerable so make sure you get bike insurance people.

Its a bike. You cannot drag it around the hospital with you. Thats why you insure your bike. Having said that. I wonder if that D lock would satisfy the insurers.

A sad indictment of the society we live in today. Nobody can use a nice bike due to the activity of these scumbags.

I've had different insurers who have specified it must be a 'Gold' standard lock, or must be attached to an immoveable object or simply that is is locked (any lock). They all have their different requirements it seems but is definately something we must check when taking the insurance!
@Darius_Jedburgh is quite correct. You really shouldn't leave an expensive bike out of sight. You know that as most of us do, as much as it's unhelpful and maybe upsetting to the OP. I can imagine a lot of us on here have been in the same situation at one time or another and, no it's not very nice. But you live and learn as they say, sometimes, the hard way.
