  • I wonder if there's some kind of self-selection bias because so many people on this forum live around the Dalston/Hackney area - ie that the number of bikes stolen per head of population is relatively even, it's just that with a larger population in east London the number of bikes reported stolen in east london is higher. Just in terms of the forum.

    Anyway, really crap your ride got nicked - +1 to the "don't tell the police the door was left open" advice, and lecture your housemates about security.

    Wouldn't leave my front door open anywhere in the world tbh!

    hipster central. (taking back the term)

  • Mate, i'm truly gutted for you.
    Same thing happened to me a few weeks back -same area.
    I just settled my claim with the insurers- big tip, obviously leave out the fact that one of your flat mates is a spaztard when it comes to security and dont ever mention it may of been left in a communal hallway as your insurance will be worth fuck all.
    I s'pose you could add add a little 'creative/collateral damage' to your door frame(potatochop may come in handy here)
    Console yourself with fact that there is a probably going to be newbuild on the horizon.

    igor kenk=WAC

  • an expensive flat in a posh courtyard on kingsland road

    Is there such a thing?

    Harsh, that happened in my block recently when some cunt left the main door open, 2 bikes stolen from the communal hall, i keep mine in my flat so was lucky, the guy who left the door open felt pretty bad and coughed up 200 quid towards getting new bikes for the unlucky owners. I would find out who left the door open and give em a right bolcking.

  • Have you tried Toronto?

    :(

    gotta love my home town... everyone knew.

  • just saw this. i'm gutted for you cuppa t - can't believe it happened so soon after you moving. keep yer chin up and we'll keep our eyes peeled (and other platitudes and cliches suchlike).

  • Crazy Alchemists... always turning base metals into Crack.

    A bad man all the same.

  • it was on kingsland road in shoreditch, benyon wharf flats....
    because its a posh'ish courtyard there is CCTV and apparently the police have the footage...

    There's nothing posh about Shoreditch, especially Kingsland Rd.

    Hope the rozzers sort it out.

  • He's got the bike back now.

    what an odd day...

    well as im sure you are all aware, i had my bike stolen from the flat im staying at....
    well as its just the flat that im living in till i find our own flat we've been looking for another one....
    we found one and went to view it today, its cheap(ish) and nice so we decided to take it and when we left we went to meet the landlord so that we could sign the contract and on our way to meet him we were walking through hoxton... we were talking about my bike and that im annoyed as fuck... we see 6 minks on bikes and i don't give it much thought however my friend dougie is like "thats your fucking bike" and then i think "shhit should i say something or just let them ride past" before i came to a conclusion (obviously we were looking) they are like "wana buy a bike bruv?" then we reply "hmm how much, its nice!" then say "£70" and i think "shit what the fuck do i do then i realise its worth a lot more money and that i should just do it, so i go to a cash machine get the money and then hand them the money which was shit because they were scummy fucking cunts.... so we get it, go around the corner and then dougie phones the police straight away and then i see the police so we ran like fuck upto them and then told them the situation and they were straight on the case, dougie got in the back of the car and them they chased around trying to find them, they found two of them (i think) and they are going to be taken to court, apparently i might have a chance to get my money back through court.

    anyway i need to run to tesco, im hungry!!

    i can't beleive it!!

    what an odd fucking day!

    Woo-hoo! london is a small city after all..

    I have no idea why people on this forum are so obsessed with posting bizarre statements about other areas they obviously know nothing about. Whatsmore I dont even know why i care but whatever http://www.foxtons.co.uk/property-for-sale-in-shoreditch/chpk0301340. If thats not posh we are obviously from different planets!

  • I've lived here for 4 years, I know what's what.

  • thats me told!

  • They can convert as many warehouses as they want, it's still within bolt cropping distance of Dalston, Hackney, etc.

    Nice flat!

  • £70?? I can't believed you actually are willing to pay him, but understandable if they look threatening.

    That's just about scraping the roof of posh, after flat hunting for two months, I've seen posher mate.

    actually to put it this way - drop that in Kensington and it'd be worth twice that, that's posh.

  • welcome to the adventures of the Big Smoke cuppa

  • He only has to sell two brooks saddles on eBay to make that back.

  • @ edscoble - Easier to pay!?
    I actually put up posters with £100 reward when my bike was nicked.
