Also maybe mention where it was stolen from?
And ed will want to know how it was locked, how long for, did you eat enough carbs etc....

hi
my Kona Unit 2-9 was stolen from the cycle racks at the base of Southampton St in central London. it was mid-afternoon on saturday 19 December 2009.
it was locked with 4 locks, including an abus steel-o-flex, but the thief appeared to have used bolt cutters.
I was well hydrated and fairly carb'd up...

Mike's locks were a large kryponite evo and the Mini evo. If that puts anyones mind at ease a bit.
Cheers SKULLS. So, the 2 locks were the Large Kryptonite Evolution and the Evolution Mini. This does put some people's mind at rest, because it appears that the advice given in the Locks That Work thread, still holds true.
@furious tiles, if it weren't for people (like Ed) always asking how bikes were specifically stolen, the correlated data for bike locks recommendations, would be different, and maybe, very inferior.

Note: the above locks are only 14mm thick, and therefore NOT recommended for London locking/security.
The exception to this is for couriers, who need the smaller, lighter lock, or people who** will** keep an eye on their bikes whilst locked.
Otherwise, its recommended that a 16mm lock, be the minimum security used.

http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/572568/Possibly suspect, though the "very old Reynolds tubing" (in the advert), means that its a rusty piece of scrap, and therefore not worth much.

My friend had his bike robbed from his house last night, please keep your eyes pealed!!
".... lovely Bridgestone Anchor fixed gear bike. It is pretty distinctive as it is candy pink with gold flecks. Suzue pro max NJS hubs- rear double fixed, Brooks seat, Nitto NJS seat post, Sugino 75 cranks. Unlike the photo it now has a shorter stem and silver riser bars and some scratches and chips in the paint. It had a green rear tyre which had gone through the rubber."
Just seen a shop 14 post on it also —> http://14bikeco.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/bum-and-rubbish/

If any one has lost a Reto / fort fixed Bike. Black I think. Its on the brick lane market now. Right now. I'm not sure whose it is if any ones, but if its yours or you know whose it is get on to sclater street now!

Ok so it's not a stolen bike, but someone has stolen the chain off my pub bike!
I hate to say it, but all evidence points to a fellow cyclist. Who else would steel the chain alone?
The bike was locked with a cheapo lock that would probably be easier to break than the chain.
The bike's a beaten up old raleigh and it has been parked up outside the pub for about a week or so. The chain was a spare Iszumi or KMC (can't remember) 1/8th chain I had and it was the first thing to hand when the rear derailleur and chain on the pub bike failed.
I know I wont get it back, but if it was stolen by another cyclist and if that cyclist is on this forum: I want them to know that they're a cunt.

A lot else was stolen from the house so if the bike turns up it could really help them out. J

Hi a friend of mine had his Charge plug stolen from outside All Saint on Market Place last night.
It's a Charge Plug (freestyle I think) 2009. Medium size. Burgundy Colour. It has no standard machined black wheels on it, a brown charge saddle, and back brake was taken off, but the brake lever is still on the bars. and black power grip toe straps. It was locked using a pretty poor lock from what I remeber he had a Abus Centuro 860, but I will try and find out.
If any one spots it for sale can you give me a shout please and I'll let him know. I've already told him to pop to BL this Sunday.

my friend who works at the British Library told me that four bikes were stolen from the front bike racks today.
this is a bit of a bad spot for stolen bikes, and the same three kids are seen time and again on cctv. but they are really sneaky. anyway, usually only wheels and seatpost/saddles go missing, but today they succeeded in stealing a bike which had 3 locks.
this is because they now have a grinder apparently.just thought i'd post this as i know a few people on here lock up at the library... so be careful
feels like there is not much that can be done when hand tools are involved

Thats really annoying to hear, as i live right next to the BL, have told them they need to lock that damn gate but have still been witness the somers town bwois riding of with bike after bike from that place.
And the brick shelters near that enterance are the perfect cover, its kinda like theyre giving those bikes away.
