If the cafe owners (especially the independents) were detrimentally effected enough to care then I imagine they would implement limits on laptop "squatters". Newwave - you spent ?13. Is it not possible that the heinous laptop criminal bought lunch there earlier or later? Maybe a few coffees in the morning and a sparkling water too? And What about all those bloody stay at home mums bringing their work into the cafe? A baby and a buggy takes up a lot more space than a laptop and a fizzy water.

Bad luck, don't know if this will help but my bike was stolen in Peckham last year by a dodgy scrap metal van "city scrap metal" I've seen them cruising around Deptford since and when I tried to talk to them they were aggressive and drove away. I reckon they are responsible for a fair bit of the bike thefts around this way. aspidistra - That's a helpful comment, hopefully someone's selling a time machine in the for sale section here and he can travel back and not use a pesky cable "lock"
