My mercian's been stolen (recovered)

That's what I was thinking. It is a tricky one.

Gd luck dude, its a beautiful steed!

I'd have thought that the whole point of being a bike thief is to sell the thing on later. Even if they did see this thread I doubt it would change anything.

Remember when Henry's GH was stolen and recovered? It turned out the guy who had it had actually bought it down the line and wasn't the guy who pinched it originally. Just guessing but if I were a bike thief I probably wouldn't ride what I'd stolen.

Some people are thick as shit. You never know.

Eyes peeled Teddy. That bike is beautiful and very, very distinctive.

if i see it, i'll follow it, locate it, stop it, retrieve it and phone the police. Make sure it's reported, and i'll also phone you.

Shit news, no where is safe.

v sorry to hear this, but that aero wedge will stand out a mile, even with a dodgy powder coat - Brick Lane?

yep. i'll be on brick lane on sunday. and it's been reported. hopefully something's on the cctv.

Will keep an eye out. I remember seeing this at the bake off (I think) when I showed you the Grubb you sold me, built up. Will keep an eye out. One D-lock coming their way if I get them...

Fuck man I remember chatting to you about this bike on the coffee ride. Fucking thieving fucks. Eyes peeled, I've never seen a Mercian even approaching this level of distinctiveness.

At least it's unique and even dozy fucker like moi will be able to spot it.. hope it turns up soon mate.

Bastard. Really unique though so you've got a better chance than most. I'll be carrying a brick round to take down the person riding it when I find them.

I could come down to hang out at Brick Lane with you on Sunday perhaps as well? If only to have a beer and talk about your loss.

fuck Teddy, sorry to hear that will keep an eye out.

Oh, for fuck's sake! Eyes peeled, Teddy...

Fahk Teddy. I'm so sorry. As you say though, being so unmistakably unique it has a pretty high chance of turning up. Fingers and toes crossed and eyes open (a tough cycling position, but helpful nonetheless)…

That's so shit. Will keep a look out on the west side of town near work.

thats harsh. will keep an eye out over East and South

I'm sorry for yr loss, will keep an eye for it.
How did the bastards get through yr chain?

locked with an abus granit city chain x-plus. and locked directly underneath a cctv camera.

Have you been granted access to CCTV?
Maybe someone on the forum could help with contact with member of staff at the station?

again?

fucking unlucky will keep eyes peeled.

fnck teddy, hope you get it back man.
as you say it's very recognisable. good luck.

thats nasty. what horrible news. keep your spirits up in the knowledge that it has to surface at some point somewhere and you'll get it back.

Fuck those fucking cnuts. Shit. With this many eyes looking, someone's bound to see something...

+1 to everything. What a heartbreaker.

thanks for all the condolences. i'm still confident that it will turn up, it's pretty unmistakeable.

Yes, quite.

How annoying for this to happen, but this is another one where the whole forum will probably be on the case if it turns up anywhere. Good luck!

Speak to the people who work in the station, newspaper sellers etc as they seem to know what is going on.
