Hey, not sure where to post this, but a mate told me that it has sometimes worked to put a picture of a bike on this forum, as some well meaning folk will look for them in the usual markets that stolen bikes are sold in. It was a Specialised Globe Vienna 3: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150345442841464&set=a.10150200204641464.312645.690051463&type=1&theater
Distinguishing markings include a set of Pinhead locking wheel, saddle and handlebar bolts...
This was the third of these I had, after the first two were nicked. I also lost a Subway bike three years ago, then one or two Ridgebacks (I forget how many now...)
This pic was taken at the end of Oct when the wheel was cut through in two places, and I just caught the b*gg$rs before they got off with the bike, doing enough damage to cover the insurance excess, but no more.
Then two nights ago, the bike was pulled off the railing it was attached to, presumably with a tow rope. The only evidence I still have is a railing that had sheared in two places. Seriously, something needs to be done about this bike crime problem..!!!
