• I've heard bike thieves scoping out targets and deciding which brand name they know best. Cannondale, Specialized etc will always be more of a target than smaller brands. Spotting a Rolex on the street must be hard, I think you'd have to wait outside a private members club or something to guarantee finding one.

  • Colleague of mine had a 5k? Rado pulled off his arm by a guy leaving the Tube.

    I didn't even know Rado was a nice brand - sounds like shampoo.

    That's exactly what I'm suggesting - sit outside a club or a nice bar after hours and grab fuckers in the dark there, or even just walk around and snatch iphones off tables or whatever.
    If you're going the full mug - they're dressed up, carrying cash and cards and whatever else. You could rob a bunch of people on the same night. Way easier money than knocking off a bike.

  • phones are probably easier to trace and harder to sell than a bike, and a 10k SL7 can't be remotely bricked. I only reckon people are going to these lengths to steal bikes because they know they're much less likely to be caught.

    Rado?! He was done a favour
