Nice to see an outpouring of sympathy from raleighnut… not.
Hope Brilliant Bikes have CCTV as their is a good possibility that the thief may be known to the police.

Ooh that's bad - With the aid of the I.D. of the frame that will be identifiable if it turns up on FB or similar.

The problem is that Bromptons do not resurface all that often. I have said for a long time that it could be they are being targeted to send abroad
I am suprised Brilliant Bikes have been scammed like this.

Shame. Enjoy watching their vids from time to time, even though I don't have a Brommie.
Would hope double barrelled Billy provides a replacement, least he could do given all the positive promotion provided by Hannah et al.

Shame for them - but you'd think they'd need a credit card before letting 5k of bike out of their sight.
Very surprised they don't have more robust methods.

I hope the frame breaks and the jagged end spears into their nethers and emasculates them permanently, and that it happens on broad daylight in Leicester Square on a Friday lunchtime, on the day of an ambulance strike.

Agreed. I did a nice half hour test ride of a 3k Cube eMTB from the Electric Bike Shop in Harrogate. They took a photocopy of my ID but also swiped my CC and said they had a GPS trace on the bike. So if you don't come back with it you bought it, which is fair enough.

When I test rode the G-line from the Brompton Junction they took my card and kept it in a locked box (I had the key) in the store while I was out of a ride. But first of all they tested it to make sure it was legit.
