Oh joy of joys. I'm not even sure of the policy yet as parents are away and have just moved house. We are with Santander, but as I have said not sure on the extent of covering.
I'm going to cause a big fuss. There's a cycling awareness thing in Islington and I was chatting to one of the officers today, a nice chap. They are aware that bike crime is significantly rising, and also he told me that bike crime is least prioritized report, something they wish to change.. whether it will happen or not is completely different. Their message was slightly damaged in my eyes as they were giving away flimsy looking locks and had several CSOs giving away balloons. Personally I'd much rather we had actual police out on the street patrolling. Slightly OT but he said he'd make it known that it was a robbery mote than a theft as they are regarded in a more serious manner.
And re this contact, I've tried to raise awareness several times without success. Will include the info in the letter am writing.
