Our bikes were stolen last night.

THEY FUCKING FOUND OUR BIKES!!
The Prague police found our bikes. On the other side of the city. Arrested the thieves. We hope to get them back tomorrow (our amazing policewoman liaison is speeding everything through as we're tourists), so we will only lose a day of our holiday, and can still have summer cycling in France after all.

We haven't seen them yet and don't know their state. I expect there will be stuff that needs repair (hopefully the batteries are still on the bike as they will be VERY hard to replace at short notice) but those are just details.
Jeezus what a ruler coaster day!

UPDATE 20.50
Just got called down to reception for a progress report from the hotel manager. The police will be bringing our bikes TONIGHT. possibly at 10pm, or 11pm, or even midnight. But definitely tonight.
Also we have an appointment at the police station at 12.50 tomorrow, where a judge (yes, a bloody judge!) will take our statements and formally sign the bikes back over to us.
Cue exploding heads in room 24

Morning update for those of you who are following this crazy journey.
The bikes weren't delivered back to us last night. The manager says we will get them when we visit the police station at 1pm for our statements to the judge.
Which means, among other things, i needed to find a clean shirt lol

@JeffHowell I hope that doesn't mean they had to get mechanics in this morning to make the bikes look whole again
Good luck!
@tcnicholls nah, think it was probably just a mistranslation. Another sightly bizarre element to this saga is the police station is literally across the road from the hotel - we look at it through our window (drizzly morning here in PRG)
