  • When was this?! I live really near bow road and me and some mates who live in the same building all had bits stolen from an underground secure garage over night, i lost a frame and two wheels and others lost lots more! Bet it was our stuff! Little C***s!

    8th-9th may
    not sure it was bow or one of the other stations more west of there, I was knacked had been riding for far too long and wanted to get the district back to central, turned out damn district was down so was stood outside in a tired stuper gorping at a map working out how to get where I wanted to go with no effort.
    was middle of the day, 3pm? Didn't spot any wheels with them, but knowing how territorial they get; could be the same people that target that area.
    EDIT+++ looking at a map I think I was at mile end station

    Walking around other parts of london you see plenty of flats with underground/ multi storey parking on those electric gates, dead easy to open them from the outside with a stick mostly and your in. typically people dont lock up their bikes very well if at all inside.
    I know in the north east when a few new build blocks like that sprang up crime went from practically zero to a daily rampage of stolen/damaged cars, fires, bikes and best of all, people climbing from the garage (1st-2nd story) up the outside of the balconies to the upper penthouses (12-15stories) where the footballers occasionally lived (sunderland U) and would empty their flats into the lift, to the carpark, load said footballers car up wiht said loot then calmly drive out the front. Pricelessly amazing.

    moral of the story, don't leave your balcony door unlocked, even when your on the top floor.
