A Non League footballer has revealed that their bicycle was stolen after returning from a match.
Evans Brighton Lamboh, who plays for Aylesbury United after leaving Risborough Rangers this summer, had parked his ‘brand new’ mountain bike at Amersham Train Station on Saturday, August 13 ahead of the Ducks' away fixture at Harlow Town.
Upon return to Buckinghamshire a few hours later after his side drew 3-3 with the team from Essex, he noticed that the vehicle had been taken.
Absolutely gutted, got train back home from my match yesterday, got to Amersham station to find out my brand new bike has been stolen, fully chained up as well. No car, so my my main mode of transport to work/football is gone. Reported to police but highly doubt i’ll get it back pic.twitter.com/LGSWeep1o5

Bike thefts are prevalent in the country, with many of the items being kept by the perpetrator, or dumped in nearby lakes/rivers.
Last May, two magnet fishers from Aylesbury managed to find a mountain bike on their first-ever session, and after conducting their own investigation via Facebook, they were able to track down its rightful owner.
Lamboh continued: “Not sure what else I can do, bike cost an arm and a leg and with the tough times we’re in now, I’m pretty screwed for transport.
Hope it gets sorted mate

The footballer is hoping to obtain CCTV footage to try and track down who stole his bike.
