Yeah-not really thinking too clearly.
Nicked just behind Kingsland Rd between dalston and shoreditch.
5 guys on bikes heading towards city, if any one sees anything- perform ninja headlock till I round up the lynch mob.

Thats a tight bike man, I feel your pain. did you do anything to deserve this? They had to plan stealing your bikes. You must have seen them around once before.
Good luck mate

Shit ! Sorry to hear all this, like pajamas says 3.30am!!!!! that's not right !!
Where you in ? Asleep ? Did you hear it all ?? See them ??
Sounds a bit scary to me, getting your door kicked in at 3.30am and having 5 blokes pile in.
I will keep an eye out North London, Camden . . . .

Yeah, the door caving in kinda woke me up, but got to the bottom of the stairs in the nick of
too late- didnt really fancy my chances taking on 5 clucking crack warriors- half asleep in my pants.
Although seeing a crackhead buckaroo round the corner at the end of my street as he discovered the wonderful world of fixed was slightly amusing.This comedy moment didnt last long though....
Im still fucking burning over the whole incident.

shit that's bad news, hope you get them back.
i would move out of the area if it's full of crackheads, bikejackers and thiefs, or maybe leave a sacrificial beater inside your door, cunts like that come back when they think you have a replacement bike.

Stef, I read your account of at the time - sounded terrible.
Even so, I've lived in this neck of the woods for about four or five years now though and tbh while obviously stuff goes on - it is a deprived part of London after all - it's not as common as people think. I've heard of far worse areas south of the river, and compared to some other places I've lived in - Barcelona, Paris, some shorter stays in bits of South America - it's really quite tame.
Though of course it's still a shitter when something does happen.
Anyway, will stop derailing the thread now.

A lot of people on here do. If I'm only a few minutes though, just my evo mini.
Just had my front door kicked down @ 3:30am and slave bike taxed as well as white We The People bmx
Slave Bike- Dark Blue Charge Plug 08 size 56- fixed, white Deep Vs, white(mint humbug) vittoria rubinos, white charge grips, white old san marco saddle, white gusset bmx pedals, power grips. Slavery personified.
BMX- White we the people, black grips, black seat, black pegs right side, black 3 piece cranks
Po po- came and were like the fuzz off the simpsons...
Charge is insured, bmx wasn't..
Pics are from the build (so no slack chain chat...) and one on the street after,minus the power grips, but bike was as described
Those bikes where my life- truly broken...
