  • So the "odd" coincidence is that I had a prospective buyer from Lithuania supposed to send a courier to pick up the bike today.

    He contacted me this morning to see when the bike would be ready for pick up so I texted to say I was at home all day, available to assist the courier.

    This morning was the very first time in 2 years that:

    • I didn't have my kryptonite NY chain attached to my driveway anchor & the bike
    • I had removed my alarmed lock
    • I had removed my tracker

    Those guys on the scooter literally cruise the streets daily to spot an unlocked bike.
    This one took 2 years for them to get to that day.

  • Mental. Neighbour is a legend tho!

  • Amazing if it were a true coincidence and not a scam. I’m surprised that you didn’t leave it locked like crazy til the courier arrived. Then again I suppose I’m way more paranoid

  • Definitely an 'odd' coincidence.

    Assume the buyer is the culprit and sends round people knowing it'll be unlocked for the courier?

    Have you been paid by the buyer?

  • Look on ebay, choose any bike the last ten years and spot how many good used parts there arr available from these bikes with no crash damage, mostly listed in Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Estonia. That's where I'm sure most stolen modern bikes are headed.
