SPF slogan 'low crime doesnt mean no crime' is outdated, cos we're no longer 'low crime' ... crime rate is creeping up, and s'pore will soon lose its reputation as a safe city ...
the cyclist cycled all over the world only to have his bike stolen in singabloodypore, supposedly the 'safest' city in asia if not the world ...

Stolen bike found
Police nab suspect in Orchard Road theft
By Tessa Wong
THERE is a happy ending after all to the tale of the globetrotting cyclist whose bicycle was stolen at Orchard Road.
Police said yesterday that they have found the green Condor bicycle belonging to English cyclist Greg Browning, and also arrested a man in connection with the crime.
After cycling thousands of kilometres in an overland trip which began in London in February last year, Mr Browning, 25, had his bicycle stolen last Wednesday from a railing he had chained it to on the pavement of Orchard Link outside Ngee Ann City. The cables had been cut and tossed into the bushes.
On Saturday, after a report of the theft appeared in The Straits Times, a bicycle fitting the description of the one belonging to Mr Browning was handed to the police by someone who had found it abandoned at East Coast Park.
Separately, a police spokesman said a man in his 40s was charged with the attempted theft of a bicycle. The man is believed to be responsible for several bicycle thefts, including Mr Browning's Condor.
Speaking by phone yesterday from Darwin, Australia, an ecstatic Mr Browning said the recovery of his bicycle was excellent news.
