  • @jaydee @coppiThat @OldDirty did any details ever get worked out regarding your losses?

    I'm also in E5 and the hallway to my place has just had the same treatment last night. 3 flats in there and a total of maybe 6-8 bikes swiped.

    If you're in E5 maybe keep your bikes out of the hallway for a while as there's now 4 reported thefts on this thread alone in the last couple of weeks!!

    Oh, and my particular loss was a black Brother Track Classic pictured below (actually had riser bars and a brown Brooks saddle at the time of theft). Incredibly annoying as I'd planned on listing for sale in the next few days....

  • no luck recovering my Olmo @dwl.

    Seems E5 is riddled with bike thieves now, has it always been this bad or is it the normal summer upswing in bike theft?

    Is there something we could do as a group to take action? Coppers sure aren't doing nought; too under resourced and flooded with the volume of these crimes.

  • Bike theft in Hackney has gone up since 2003, peaking in 2009 and 2010, but since then has been falling on average. That rate has slowed recently though.

    Common theme seems to be that E5 thefts have been from premises rather than street locations, most saying they've kept their bike in the hall.
