If it's the Police then talk to the same officer(s) you spoke to regarding the incident and ask them to speak to their CCTV office to get them to check the CCTV for the time/date and location. If it's the Council then It'll probably be someone in Street Environment (or somesuch) that you'll need to speak to, however (and this is important) they will most likely require that any requests are made by the Police. You'll not get to see any of the footage due to the Data Protection Act, but it's entirely possible that the Police may be able to get an ID and then charge the miscreant. It'll definitely feel like an uphill struggle as the Council will be very wary to assist you due to DPA and the Police will be unwilling to assist as it will mean more paperwork/time for them. Sucks doesn't it?

Hehe - I blame you too I just found out that a friend of Tabitha's had her MTB stolen from outside the college - locked to a lamppost outside a glass walled corridor and the main reception area. The college CCTV caught him in the act with a pair of bolt crops, but no-one recognises him. I'm wondering if it's more than coincidence, possibly someone - or more than one - after a little extra Christmas money?

Then, at around 1700 I went back to where I'd left the bike yesterday to see if the owner of an orange scooter was finishing work around then and a helpful chap in leathers told me he worked in Webberley's (the shop) and gave me his name. He told me that my bike wasn't there when he left work at 1730 which narrows the time down - by about 15 mins lol. He also mentioned that he'd been in the end of the shop nearest to the parking place yesterday, and he and a colleague had noticed a 'gang' outside the shop at around 1700. Unfortunately it was her day off today :/ Plan for tomorrow: Go and have a chat to the lass in Webberleys and see if she can add anything to the little I know, Deliver letter to CCTV people asking that the film from that time be looked at, Go and ask the Police if there's anything to report yet. Cheers for that Dym, much appreciated I'm just printing out the DPA atm as a bit of bedtime reading - it can't hurt.
