The wheels were already coming off for David Cameron yesterday - after he had his bike nicked.

The jinxed Tory leader was "stunned" when it vanished from outside his local Tesco in West London.

Onlooker Gary Yankee, 38, said: "He must have been looking around for about five minutes as if he couldn't believe it had gone.

"He just kept on saying... 'But I locked it'."

Perhaps he's still haunted by his bizarre hug a hoodie comments and his recent outrageous attack on the poor?

<p>But the Tory leader's family holiday to Cornwall next week could really put the wind up him.</p> <p>Mr Cameron, 41, wife Samantha and children Ivan, Nancy and Arthur are staying in a cottage which has been linked to FOUR deaths after it was reputedly cursed by an angry white witch 400 years ago.</p> <p>According to local folklore "Mother Ivey" cast a spell on the seven-bedroom seaside home and adjoining field, threatening: "If ever the soil were broken again death would follow." She was determined greedy merchant Mr Peter, who lived there in the 1600s, would never profit from the land into which he ploughed an unsold cargo of pilchards after denying them to staving locals.</p> <p>His action resulted in fatal consequences:</p> <p>Death One: Within days of the field being turned over again his eldest son was thrown from his horse and killed. The land was sold and left unploughed for more than 300 years.</p> <p>Death Two: Shortly after the Home Guard dug trenches there during the Second World War, the son of new owners, the Hellyar family, was killed in a bombing raid on the Vickers Armstrong factory in Weybridge, Surrey.</p> <p>Death Three: Days after a group of metal detector enthusiasts began digging in the field in the 70s, one died from a heart attack.</p> <p>Death Four: In 1998 the boss of a water company laying sewage pipes there died.</p> <p>Former owner Francis Hellyar said: "The story I heard is the local witch asked if the starving people could eat the pilchards because they had been salted and were still edible. But Mr Peter refused and she then cursed the land."</p> <p>But locals say Mr Cameron should be safe as long as he stays away from the field.</p> <p>Gift shop owner Debbie Morris Kairby, said: "It's a spooky place but it's nice he's coming to Cornwall. I just hope he brings the sun."</p> <p>A gloating motto written by Mr Peter is still etched on the wall of the 550-year-old cottage: "Money Smells Sweet."</p> <p>A new slogan for the Conservatives perhaps...</p>
