Stolen bikes

Dude, I'm sorry that your wheel was stolen, it sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'll be keeping my eye open as well.

That said, the tone of your message implied complicity in some way, and if you read over the forum, it's full of outrage when bikes, or components, get stolen. I'm certain that no one actively contributing to this site would buy an obviously stolen wheel, much less steal it themselves.

Good luck with finding the wheel.

Oh, can you tell me if it's an offence for cars and motorcycles to be in the ASL box? They're always full of those bloody things

Welcome to having your bike nicked in Brixton! to be honest, what were you doing leaving it outside? And before you think I'm flippant, that was the exact answer I got from the front desk at Brixton police station when i had reported a bike being nicked from under the cctv outside M&S.

I'm hoping your slight aggression is due to your annoyance that you've just had some of your possessions pinched and its not part of your normal demeanour.

PS. good luck with the stopping people bit. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when that happens.

@Stevo, with that sort of knobbish "i'm a copper attitude" you deserve everything you get. I hope you never find your wheel. ah ah ah.

That's not very nice.

my first port of call would be all the local bike shops, to see if any naughty people had been hawking a spare wheel around.

I don't understand why they didn't take the whole bike?
or if the frame was locked why not through the rear wheel too? (usually the most expensive part on a FW)
and why not rob the other parts?
were they disturbed?
did your neighbours see or hear anything?

vegansdontneedgears why be an english copper they dont even have guns!

guns are for pussies, get your jack johnsons out.

good luck finding that wheel dude!

I am a copper

Was feeling sorry for you until I read that bit.....called karma I think?

[cite] stevo_com:[/cite. They should in all honesty look at available CCTV which from what I've read seems to be lacking unfortunately.

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed at the hostility I have received, besides hippy and rpm. I would have thought the community spirit that is usually strong between fixed wheelers would have seen more support.

I can't believe this prick!?

Where were you mugs when some cunt smashed into my car outside my flat on Kingswood Rd and drove off while I was at work? Didn't wanna know....I went to Brixton Police station and told them to which the reply was 'Sorry sir, we haven't got the correct forms, you'll have to go to Streatham Police Station', to which I did.
Check this, I explained what had happened to the doris on reception and her exact, word for word reply was "Sorry, there's not a lot we can do about it, they always get away with it" WTF!!? I literally walked out without saying a word, shaking my head!
I had to ring the council and FUCKING PAY THEM to check the CCTV that was literally 40yrds away. I gave them the exact date of when it happened and I got a phonecall 2 weeks later 'Sorry, our camera wasn't on your road that day', convenient for them hey!?!
So I'm fucked, £1,200 of work to be done, I had to pay £600, lost all my no claims and just cos you lot are too fucking lazy to do your job properly - oh, and because you weren't going to make any money on it! CUNTS!!

I hope you never find your wheel!

"I and my friend will be actively seeking it out when we see a single speeder or fixed wheeler and stopping people if we think we see it, not just running round like mercenaries"

I don't really see how this isn't 'mercenary' behaviour.

I aint really anticop in case i ever get murdered or something and it seems a pretty shitty job anyway, but this joker with his rex-kwan-do attitude pissed me off. As if him and his mate are gonna go round stopping people on road, its a fucking wheel.

I really don't think you're going to get your wheel back or find the person that did this, SIR. So we're not going to bother looking, sorry, there's too many other people we're looking for, such as people who jump red lights when there's no cars coming... It's all about priorities you see, and we think you can probably afford to buy a new one, so on your way, SIR. You shouldn't be so trusting as to lock it up outside really, should you SIR?

;)

SIR do you mind stepping off the bike SIR

whay do they do that, its so flippin patronising

community spirit = http://www.londonfgss.com/discussion/3498/police-fining-cyclists/#Item_43

Exactly, the guys a prick for leaving it in a front garden of a Brixton flat. And who says pigs are thick as fuck!?

Leave the poor Bugger alone.

His comment was off and he needed to be clearer about what his comment meant rather than trying to insinuate something but using police stereotypes and personal perilous experiences to borate the man is silly. Threats got him no where on this forum so lets not reciprocate like with like.

SIR do you mind stepping back SIR

Alright CUNTstable.

SIR i have no other option but to hit you with a stick until you bleed then throw you in a van SIR

Oi copper, I bet the fella who nicked it was black!

SIR, you are under arrest for impersonating a police officer.

hope you find your wheel but from your comments it's hard to have much sympathy with you..

Have you tried brick lane?

Here here, he was a bit of a cnut but I would be too if my wheel was stolen. Hes just getting angry with the wrong people

Well, everyone's just venting their own spleen at being a victim of crime aren't they? It tends to engender a "grr" vigilante attitude in anyone for a few weeks. I've had good and bad experiences of the police, the most recent one (not the bike thing, but something a little more serious), was dealt with woefully by Brixton cops, and the last experience is always the one you remember the most isn't it?

Hopefully its just a case of him being a keyboard jockey rather than him creeping up behind me on Brixton Road fervently examining my back wheel.

that is fucking wierd, why he claim to be a cop?
