Redbul Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Just had my bike nicked from Millbrook. Whoever did it must have come tooled up 'cos they cut through a Magnum bike lock, which I thought was supposed to be indestructible. Oh well.... Anyway, it's a Cube Acid, 18" aluminum frame, Rock Shox Dart 3 forks, Stroker Ryde hydraulic brakes, has Shimano PD-A530 pedals (SPD on one side of the pedal, normal cage on the other), Topeak Defender mudguards (although the idiots broke the front one getting it out) and it also had a bracket on the front for an Exposure Race light. If you see it it's mine....lousy pic below:

Marsdinho Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 About two years ago, I caught some toerags in the middle of nicking my bike. They were seconds away from having it. Luckily I had fallen asleep on the sofa and was off to bed at around 4 in the morning when I saw them out the window. They legged it as soon as they saw me. The Mrs persuaded me to call the police as she thought they may be up to other stuff in the area as well, and we could do our good neighbour bit and nip it in the bud. About 10 mins after a rang shirley police station, they called me back saying they had two people in custody that matched my description. thay had been seen in the area not long after I had rung. Turns out that it was them.....rememeber, it was 4 in the morning when they were out nicking bikes, guess how old they were..... 12 and 10..... The parents probably didnt even know they were out, or didnt care.... Hope you get it back mate.

Redbul Posted 1 July, 2009 Author Posted 1 July, 2009 Harsh. Did the bike lock come with insurance? Tbh the lock was about 10 years old. And they twisted it off with a metal rod??!!!! Surely the torque involved would have bent the frame....
Marsdinho Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Christ, how many of you are there? Me, myself and I
Jillyanne Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 There is a report in todays Echo about a bike theft in Redbridge (page 24) maybe the same scum who nicked yours?
Redbul Posted 2 July, 2009 Author Posted 2 July, 2009 There is a report in todays Echo about a bike theft in Redbridge (page 24) maybe the same scum who nicked yours? Thanks Jilly, just had a look. What a couple of spoons nicking a bike like that!!!! I thought mine would be conspicuous (especially as I have a sneaky feeling they may have bent the crossbar getting the lock off....) They really aren't the brightest.

Rather, what is the owner of a bike like that doing just locking the wheel to something!?!?!?!
OLYMPIC Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Make sure you do the usual and check Cash converters as they always seem to have loads of bikes for sale.
