The British Transport Police will not investigate many categories of bicycle theft, the BBC learns.

My lad’s bike was stolen from a train station a few months back. He’d left it there while he was at work. He works for longer than an hour a day, like many others.

This was the BTP’s response, so it’s kind of mad to see that it’s actual policy now.

Really makes you glad to pay the old national insurance and council tax, y’know?
