For Sale: had your bike stolen? this can help!

  • I know this is not the right thread but it will be seen by more people in the classified section!

    Hello all,
    I just had a chat with a very helpful (and I dont say this very often!) police
    officer, he's a keen cyclist who had his bike stolen a while back so he knows
    how bad it feels, he is personally working on a good project against bike thieves
    and to help people receovering their stolen bikes.

    He showed me some photos of what he had in the depot and I already spotted one bike
    which I helped getting back to its owner, but they have alot of
    track bikes, and a good amount of arrospoked bikes which are waiting to be
    recovered!

    If you get your bike stolen or you had one stolen in the past please contact the
    Police on their Twitter page:
    #MPSTOWERHAM

    For any help you can also speak to me at the shop (brick lane bikes).

    Hope this helps,

    Peter

    Oh the Irony...

    I am trying and helping out here...

  • ... just few days ago, burglary happened in my flat, two bikes both with matte black aerospoke front wheel has stolen. deeeeep depressed....

  • Not sure who to nerg and who to rep, this thread has discombobulated me.

    Anyway good advice regardless. Let's get those bikes home!

  • Has someone pointed HoKe in the direction of this thread?

  • @bangben pengy2 been recovered by #mpstowerham, has black spok and orange bits...

  • Out of interest, what's the project against bike thieves?

    They could make a start by closing the bike jumble stalls on Brick Lane Market.

  • What do you mean, project? It's the twitter feed for Tower Hamlets Met Police - all boroughs have one and it would seem THMPS are tweeting pic of stolen bikes that come into their possession.

    And closing bike jumble stalls on Brick Lane would just move the problem elsewhere innit.
