30,000-mile bicycle stolen from back garden

A British adventurer who used the same bicycle to travel 30,000 miles across more than 30 countries has had it stolen from his back garden.
Geoffrey Williams, 53, crossed the Sahara Desert, was deported from Algeria and narrowly avoided being shot by guards in the former Yugoslavia while travelling with the second-hand 1949 Sun tourer.
Thieves negotiated 7ft (2m) gates, a chain and two padlocks to take the bike.
Mr Williams said: “My whole life has been with that bicycle. I didn’t go abroad until I was in my 40s.” Police believe the theft took place on October 22.
