A few days ago I did a relatively short bike ride out to one of my favourite cafes and back. Whilst at the cafe, I was able to lean my bike against the wall/window and get myself a table just inside so that I could keep a close eye on my bike. It was just inches away from where I sat but was unlocked. After a few minutes, a white van turned up and parked quite close to my bike. Two men got out and began to look at my bike. Suddenly one guy opened the side door of his van and then continued to look at my bike for a couple of minutes or so before the two of them got back inside the van and started the engine again.
I couldnt believe that they couldnt see me the other side of the window and really thought that my bike was about to be put into the back of the van. By this time I had taken a couple of photos of the van and the occupants of it just in case but decided to see what they would do next and so didnt go outside to confront them. After several minutes one guy got back out, closed the side door of the van and then drove away.
The van was a white company vehicle with the name of the company on the side of it and also with phone numbers. I dont know what they were thinking about or talking about but I really did think that they were up to no good.
