Stolen bikes

Oh shit. I hope you get it!

Go get them D!

Where are you getting your intel from?

IG, someone this morning showed me a picture of my bike (in quite a bad state)

can you take an hour out of work and go look?

I would like to but the journey there is long for me on my brompton. Trying to get some mates to get down there to look at the bike as we speak. No luck so far.

I would jump on the brompton and head there (with another d lock in hand) while also trying to round up mates. This is small window before the dude probably disappears. Strike now while the cunt is visible

Know any couriers that could help?

@laner etc

You want other people to go confront someone for your bike while you orchestrate from your office. Seems a tad unrealistic.

How bad state?

I’m in a catch 22 situation where I want to ride down there and see if I can catch the guy. Also I have deadlines to meet today.

I’ve asked a few people to head down that area to see if they can spot my bike so if they see it they can call me right away to get my bike back.

I don’t want them to confront the seller. All I want is them to spot them and pretend to buy it off them so I can come and collect it and phone the police as well.

Broken rear stay and 3 damaged spikes.

Fuck man, I'm so sorry

Is this yours on gumtree? Edit: just realised yours is Sram not Tiagra

Any news on Canyon recovery (fingers crossed)?

@HoKe I’m gonna go to Vauxhall Sunday market to see if it shows up there. I guess people should go to brick lane today

I realise this is probably too late, but I'm in rotherhithe. Anything I can do to help? There's a known bike lockup round here where it seems a gang keep their stolen bikes. Happy to point you in the direction of it and come help confront

Jazzy, very distinctive S-Works stolen from my friends house in Newington Green yesterday. This was her replacement bike after her Canyon Aeroad was stolen from the same flat a month ago.

Mechanical Durace
Rotor 3D+ cranks with power meter spider
Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 wheelset (not the Enve pictured, but they look the same)

Thankfully the titanium Pretorius was elsewhere.

Lovely bike, that sucks.

^^Your friend's horrible experience sadly shows that if you have been burgled once you are much more likely to be burgled again unless you can increase the house's security.

They were so pissed off by their insurance company for the last claim they didn't renew the contract, they were shopping around for insurance when this happened.

That’s shit. I learned the lesson at uni when we were burgled 4 times in 9 weeks by the same lot of arseholes (police found evidence of 3 out of 4 in one of their houses). Until we (quite obviously) has a burglar alarm installed they came and went with impunity.
