"Thieves escaped with hundreds of pounds worth of stolen items after robbing
a cyclist as he rode home last week.
Alex Davies, 40, was cycling along an alleyway near Long Grove Road in Epsom
at about 7.40pm on Tuesday, October 4, when three men blocked his path.

One of the men asked him for the time before demanding all of his
belongings.

Fearing for his safety, Mr Davies handed over his Hugo Boss wris****ch,
Apple iPhone, Blackberry, car keys, Apple iPod Shuffle, various debit and
credit cards plus several items of exercise clothing.


After reading that I have totted up the cost of the gear I have on me
every day.

Junghans Mega 1000 watch - 380
Walkman 64 GB player - 320
Garmin Edge 705 - 300
Exposure Six Pack front light - 400
Light and Motion rear light VIS 180 - 90
Compo cam - 40

1530 quid the lot

Bike, clothing and bank cards not included - no wonder I ride at
25mph!

I'm at the other end of the scale, anyone attempting to mug me would be
very disappointed.
