Stolen bikes

Good effort. How did you clock that it was stolen?

2 kids with face covering riding on their bikes, wheeling a third bike by hand. I asked the first man I saw for help.

I convinced him that the bike was stolen, then we followed the kids into the park and shouted "Oi, that is my bike". The kids dropped it and rode away faster than I could blink.

Good work fella.

The thief being that elderly man?

Yes- a friend saw him swap a wheel and took the picture

Thanks, not someone you'd expect to be a bike thief, but I guess you get all sorts.

So he swapped the wheel on the bike out for another (presumably inferior one)?

Hi,

Directed here from Retrobike. My son’s much loved DeKerf Team SST was stolen in 90secs whilst locked up opposite the Costa on Tooley Street Se1.

The landlord of a boozer there said the police are often in telling people not to lock their bikes there because there’s no CCTV…

My sons’s absolutely gutted as you’d expect.

Cheers

Chris

Long shot but if anyone has lost a town bike in East Dulwich area give me a shout as I found an abandoned one on saturday morning at Goose Green.

I took it in for safekeeping and have left a note with my details/posted on local forum and checked stolenride.co.uk. There are no bikeregister details or anything like that.

If I can't find the owner in a few weeks will donate to a charity.

Anything else I can do?

Don't know how you'd go about it but check with the police? It might have been reported

Doh, completely forgot about the police! Thanks, will do.

Mate got this nicked from Spitalfields Market, Specialized Globe single speed.

Friend of mine has had his Scott Solace Premium 2014 Dura-ace di2 nicked from the bike room at his flat in Clapham. Doubt there are that many of these rides around so please shout if anyone sees it.

I don't know all the details about the bike but I'm pretty sure those Reynolds wheels aren't stock.

I've tried to help my friend as much as possible and advised on going via the police and FB/Gumtree/eBay etc to keep an eye out.

In Glasgow we have an older guy 'dodgy martin' I think he is known by, literally looks the same guy (isn't), well known for house breaking, tends to follow people home and then strike hours later. Our local theif looks pretty run down and elderly'ish, so folk feel sorry for him/don't push charges etc, but in reality he has a very nice house in the south side, has a job and is of sound mind, just seems to enjoy robbing peoples houses.

My mate just had his Ducati motorbike stolen from same street yesterday, possibility that its a regular group that hit that street.

Just had my cube attain pro 50cm stolen within the last 12 hours. Stolen from se16 area

Mate got his Claud Butler Explorer 400 nabbed as well around Mile End if anyone has seen it about.

Hi all, Soma Wolverine stolen from communal storage overnight at the weekend - SE15.

It's a massive 66cm frame so quite distinctive.

They left the front wheel locked to the rack (I got complacent about securing it...) so wheels may not match or be as in picture.

Unlikely to see it again but posting anyway just in case! Thanks

My friend had his bike stolen outside stormbird in camberwell last night - it’s got quite a bit of sentimental value in our friendship group as it’s changed hands between all of us and was the bike that got him into cycling! Would mean a lot to get it back!

MY Wifes, green Brompton has been stolen by some fuckers from outside the front of Tate Modern in the last few hours. Classic 3 speed, 2017/18 I think, with mudguards, schwalbe front tyre and continental rear. Very angry, she loves that bike and has really got into cycling on it in the last 18 months. LOngshot I know, but if you see anyone looking dodgy with bike matching that description

Lost my Serotta last night (probably stolen but there's a chance I drunkenly left it somewhere different to where I thought it was and forgot).

If anyone sees it being sold online (or simply just locked near Shaftsbury Ave) please send me a message.

Currently this is the best pic I've got (will try to find clearer one):

Mostly Dura Ace 7700 on it, Araya rims, Rolls saddle - one difference to the photo is new blue/green/silver camo pattern bar tape.

Thanks

Anyone's?

thought these had built in security/tracking etc?

Reckon the vanmoof store in Covent Garden is it? Could track this down. Yeah think they all have tracking built in.
