Stolen bikes

I've just been offered this for £175 for collection tonight.

Seems dodgy as the chap has a cheap Genesis CdA too.

I've got his mobile number by getting him to WhatsApp me. Get in touch if you recognise this.

Sounds like it was stolen to start with, wrapped in insulation tape.

Ha! - I'm just too tight to get helicopter tape!

There’s a Spesh there that looks familiar, will pass the details on

Sadly my girlfriend's bike has just been nicked from outside our house (Camberwell - SE5). Please keep a look out for a Ribble R872 Disc in Teal with Shimano 105 groupset and Mavic Aksium wheels.

Seems like the Kryptonite lock was picked so assuming a pro job and may surface further afield.

Posting a pic of happier days for reference. Thank you so much for keeping your eyes peeled! Message me on here if you spot anything suspicious.

A former colleague had her Brompton stolen by a gang when she was out riding with her young child yesterday evening in North Millfields park: https://twitter.com/HelenNickols/status/1578841132041392128

Right on my doorstep thanks for flagging. There was a large spate of this happening here a couple of years back. Sorry about your friend.

My friend James Jarvis has lost a bike from Guy’s Hospital. Pretty distinctive, please throw a lock on it and DM him if you see it.

Sort of the opposite of stolen. This bike has turned up in the front yard of a friend's house in Hackney and has been just sitting there for a few weeks now. It's not locked to anything but itself, strangely. Anyone recognize it? Seems to be missing a chain but looks all right otherwise from what I can tell.

That's terrible, how did they get to it ?

Looks like the rear derailleur is gone too

These seem super sus!

have they not reported it to the police by now?

The door to the garden is not very high, maybe 2.5 m. So the thieves probably climbed it and got the bike over it

Just seen a video on a local WhatsApp group of a group of scrouts breaking into my bike locker. Apparently doing the rounds in our area (E2), but only my locker was targeted from the 4 together last night. Gutted!

He's even got the wrong'uns facewear of choice on in his profile pic! Highly dodgy

Don't know if this is exactly stolen or not, but certainly gone missing.
I bought this from Ebay and arranged for DPD to collect from the charity that was selling it.
GT Edge frame and wheels. The charity, which I have no reason to doubt, said that when the DPD driver arrived to collect, he refused to take the box down the flight of stairs to the van ( I believe there were actually two DPD employees there) The seller said that she organised a couple of her lads to take it down and put it into the van themselves. The driver had updated the collection as "nothing to collect", so of course, the box has now disappeared in some DPD black hole! I was straight on to DPD as soon as it happened but was assured it would be scanned once the vehicle returned to the depot. I even have the driver's name that collected, but to say DPD's 'customer services are worse than useless is an understatement. This happened in the Beaconside area of Stafford. Still ongoing with DPD, but that's been a week now and I don't hold out much hope. Just in case anyone sees anything from that are up for sale. Cheers.

Anyone had a Brompton nicked recently?

Today I saw two yoof on a motorscooter, the pillion was holding a gloss black Brompton, silver wheels with a blue Brompton sticker on the main frame.

I do have the scooter reg if it helps. Msg me if you want to.
