From Metro: Cameron reuinted with stolen bike
I would say, "welcome to America" (my wife has had 3 or 4 bikes stolen since I've known her), but this happened in London on Portobello Road to David Cameron, leader of the Tories and likely the next Prime Minister of the UK: 'Hacked off' Cameron has his bike stolen
It reminds me of the story about George Bush having his watch stolen while shaking hands in Albania (which may or may not have happened) "At 0.50 minutes into the clip, Bush has a watch. At 1.04 minutes into the clip, he had a watch."
