An Ormskirk student is counting the cost of doing the right thing - in the wrong way.
Alerted to the rising number of bike thefts in and around Southport, the KGV student who rode to Southport from Ormskirk decided to buy a sturdy bike lock from Wilko's in the town centre.
He left his bike outside the store while buying it; you can guess what happened next...
He has reported the theft of his bike to police.
