Yesterday Terry had his electric bike stolen from outside a library here in the Algarve.
It was all securely locked to railings alongside mine.
The only difference is he had a key lock and I have a combination lock.
We immediately went to the police station where we spent 3 hours waiting in a queue to report it stolen.
Even though the officer in attendance could speak good English, they brought a translator to the station who turned up in ten minutes.
We live in hope that it will turn up but in our heart realise it's gone for good even though they said such un unusual bike will probably be found soon.
It was not insured as comfort wouldn't insure them and said that we should insure them on our home policy which we don't have as we full time and told them so at the time, they basically just said no we don't do that!
So we just have to bear the cost of it.
We realize that it could be pinched anywhere in the world, just wanted to share with someone.
All the officers coming and going in that police station wore guns and looked very forbidding one even carried a rifle!
The one that dealt with us was very nice though.
