 A man set out to prove this, choosing a prominent location in London
between Metropolitan Police Headquarters and Parliament. Point is
there's plenty of video surveillance. He parked a bike, chained it to a
bike rack, and tagged it with a couple of airtags.
 Police never looked at any video footage.

The police in the UK have made very little effort to solve ordinary crimes for at least the last two or three years, maybe longer. Use language that offends someone ONLINE and you can expect to hear from the police - on the phone or via an in-person visit - in very short order. They are FAR more concerned with policing speech than solving assaults, robberies, burglaries and that kind of thing. The UK is broken up into 20-odd police forces and some of those forces haven't solved a single car theft or burglary in several years: not ONE. I've seen this allegation from several sources in the past year or two.
They only seem to care about "hurty words" and protecting the Muslims from anything that might offend them.
