  • 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.

  • 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?

  • I have not been paid by the buyer, the courier does the bank transfer on pick up.

    It got too late yesterday for the courier to swing by and I was having a baby today so pick up has been postponed until Sunday.

    Will see if the guy turns up but from what my neighbour told me, these two thieves are very well known in SE as they have nicked his bike last year so I doubt they are part of an international ring.

    But we'll never know since the police gives zero shits - they're too busy fining people without a mask
