Stolen bikes

Shit :(

crap, some lovely bikes.
Being cambridge maybe it'll be easier to find?

Yeah unless they move them to Norfolk or something or go farther afield?

I'm totally gutted. This is a particularly bad time in my life to lose them...

I'm hoping too their small-ness will be distinctive.

Please keep an eye out!

Yeah, I was thinking as they're all sort of custom bikes. Quite unique.

I don't know what the procedure is. The cops didn't ask for much details about the bikes.

I'm going to blast email all the bike shops in cambridge with a little flyer attached. Could even print and drop them off? Though there are many bike shops around here! mostly all pedalling really old crappy used mtbs ...

Friends bike was stolen in Aberdeen, Scotland. But could have been shipped anywhere. It was a single speed, raleigh painted matt pink, brooks saddle, brooks cambium bartape. Campagnolo wheels.

Sorry for the bad pictures its all they had.

Please reach out if seen anywhere.

All the London thefts, I'm curious to know how they were locked?

Seems like more and more proper locks are being cut these days.

That's a horrible, shitty thing to happen. Hope you have some luck retrieving them.

One of the Labour councillors in Waltham Forest (borough of culture) had his 20 yr old MTB stolen yesterday.

It was d locked outside Leytonstone library, which is on the junction of two busy roads.

What are the other forums that would be good to advertise stolen bikes to?

I don't belong to any others unfortunately.

Anyone on here lose a Surly in London -- been keeping an eye out for my lost bikes and this seems suspicious...

Saw this is an Islington Police newsletter if anyone knows somebody missing a maroon Moulton:

My white CAAD 8 was stolen outside of City Lit in town this am. Have done a police report - anything else I should do? Sad sad sad.

A friend of our bike club has had his bikes stolen from his garage (Southampton/Eastleigh) area.

Custom Thompson Capella with Ultegra di2
Custom Enigma evolve with Ultegra di2

Both with stages power meters and fizik finishing kit.

If anyone comes across something like this, could you let me know?

OHTAKI TRACK BIKE
Gloss sliver
Nitto Albatross bars and Mavic Ellipse wheels
The frame has custom lugs on seat tube and head tube. Taken around 1pm on the corner of Ebor and Bethnal Green road when I got lunch. Really gutted.
Quite unique no idea what they will do with it...

These look shifty as...

Two nice looking Dawes tourers being sold as 'Specalised'

Anyone know how you report to eBay? Can't seem to find an option beyond 'tell the police'...

Stolen bike, last night from Hackney outside my flat. They cut through the lock and parts of the headset and lock were strewn on the ground.

It's an Isla bike 700 Large. With a Ritchey seatpost and a Ritchey carbon fork. Sora groupset. Fizik saddle.

It has a dent in the top tube.

If anybody sees anything please let me know!

Thank you

More cut locks (kryptonite cables) on the floor outside The Axe, N16 at about 8 last night. The recent step up in thefts is really putting me off locking my bike anywhere

My dad's bike was stolen from outside south ealing station yesterday, whilst he was on the way to hospital for a check up. It was a blue and white columbus thron geoffrey butler, with brooks b17 narrow and mixed shimano groupset, i think size 58. If anybody sees anything suspiciously similar please let me know.

so an update on this

Surly retrieved. Had to fork over £150.

Negotiating to get Ritchey Logic back.

Still on the hunt for the other two.

right, time to start researching bike insurance ...

Why?
Why are you negotiating? Seen it for sale? Go to buy it and call the police or take a load of big blokes with you and take it back

Very much +1 to the above

Bastards. Had a couple stolen from our secure shed some years back. Had insurance cover and made the claim, only to see one turn up on Gumtree (broken down as f&f and separate components.) Got the police involved and they swooped and seized a huge cache including one of mine, which I then got back (easy to identity.) Kept the insurers (household cover) in the loop all the while and they paid the claim (not all the value, was capped, but still...) and they said it didn't matter if the bikes were recovered, it wouldn't effect the claim anyway. Possibly pol co-operation helped, don't know. Hope you get everything back.

Ask for a test ride and don’t stop

Ride it like you stole it, if you will
