Stolen bikes

“Just buy a moped, ride without a helmet and commit any crime you want. Cops can’t chase you” 😠It’s ridiculous

Ah yes, just seeing now. The police already told me they had closed the case and not sure they would go for it as it wasn't directly related to my report

Only picture I can find, basically as it is here (but with the blue fizik saddle and s-cubic chainring).

A real kick in the teeth last night... Earlier this year, I built a bike that I hoped would take me to some of the furthest corners of the earth.

Just as plans were shaping up for a big expedition, I leave her outside for two hours on Portobello Road, and she's gone without a trace.

It's an incredibly long shot, but I thought I'd share in case anyone came across her on the way into work, at a market, or somewhere in the depths of the internet...

My adventure road bike was stolen today from my front garage in High Barnet.

Planet X London Road Bike olive green, size 54 M, SRAM rival/force groupset, Wtb tyres/wheels, brooks cambium saddle.

BIG CASH Reward if found. This bike means a lot to me, I'm devastated it's gone. :'(

Just had a black Brothers track bike stolen from my communal hallway on Dalston Lane early this morning. Anyone in the area please keep a look out, cheers.

The very same!

My Mercian has been stolen from Preston. Please let me know if you see it advertised anywhere. I love this bike so much!
Fully campagnolo components and Vento wheels. It's quite unique so should be easy to spot. I've shared it on the Twitter, Facebook & Instagram in the hope of getting it back, any other suggestions most welcome x

Fucking wankers.

Unbelievable.

Didn't we have a copper from the 'bike crime squad' or some such on here before? Are they still active, or been cut by the tories?
If not, that's got to be one of the easiest nicks around, surely?

Bike description, including unusual test fixie saddle, picture without saddle earlier, then that chinny looking cunt riding it......it's not a difficult series of events to link, is it?

That was @Kieran_Ferguson_PC_2224T --no idea if he's still around, or indeed working in the same field.

@Crop, @jakemcree – thanks very much for all of this (and thanks for chatting on the phone Jake). Will forward this on the the police regarding the case I opened, but don't have much hope for that plan of action considering how useless they have been to date. Will get down there myself next weekend
