  • Anyone have any advice on what to do if components get nicked from a well locked bike, I'm talking specifically about a ultegra chainset and some decent pedals that got removed from my otherwise security skewerd to the max bike outside the BFI IMAX in Waterloo last week. Have since found the items on eBay and reported to police but they said they can't do anything due to the 'low' value of the items and lack of resources. Decided to buy some dirt cheap pedals off the seller and now have an email address, and found him on Facebook, he must be 18 and lives somewhere in Croydon.

    His ebay name is merchantcr7

    The rest of his items are all odd parts and cobbled together groupsets, my ultegra cranks are on there right now as part of a 'groupset'

    Might try and get hold of the local police station in Croydon and see what they say but ideally I'd like to track the fucker down.

    If all else fails I'm going to message his mum on Facebook.

    Any past experience from you guys or general advice much appreciated.

    Going to get some hexlox for my crank arms now......

  • Theyre scuffed just the way I scuff all my cranks, generally pristine bar scuffs on the ends of the cranks, also got nicked at the same time as the pedals, the pedals came on his profile and then subsequently sold a day ago for way below asking.

    I've actually found him on Facebook from his PayPal email name and now have his dads email address, going to send his dad an email, the guys a pastor in a church in Croydon. Figure if the police won't nick him, eternal damnation is second best. The guy (18) really needs to up his game if he's going to sell that much nicked stuff on eBay, having your PayPal deets as your name isn't very clever if your trying to cover your tracks.
