Stolen bikes

I've messaged a mate who's wife stolen bike looked similar to that.

It could be but hers didn't have pedals do you know which police station is looking after the case for her to get in contact with? Her bike is with bike register so maybe they will get on touch either way if it is.

Rodger that

My workmates Marin was stolen yesterday evening just off Oxford Street. Had the red Bullhorns on like in the IG picture. If anyone sees it... 👍👍👍👍

Turns out you don't need to save up for a new bike(s), you can smash and grab 10k worth and then just get a suspended sentence and keep your nose clean for a couple of years:

Bikes afaik are counted as a frivolous leisure toy (in legal terms) not a legit form of transport or way of earning a living in uk. Have seen 1st hand what happens to someone who's way of earning an income is stolen, they quickly fall through the system and end up in very rough situation. However my junk 20 year old car is stolen and it gets a lot more weight on the legal system brought against those involved.
Local shop to us robbed at weekend, again, near £50k this time. Minus excesses they'll get their trade value back, but not loss of income, normally that sucks but its the norm. But this year with stock so hard to come by, it hurts a lot more and you can't insure that. Suspected from an organised gang, the stock will go out of the country within days.

Really good to see they pirates rescue that Pearson and help bring about an orderly arrest, good job for keeping the high road and staying civil guys, its hard to not resort to other methods but hopefully the result is they are put infront of a magistrate and it gets them some punishment.

Sorry to hear about the problems for your LBS, as you say there is more to it than just the loss of stock, esp this year when bikes and components are in the same category as hens teeth and rocking horse shit. It just seems that there is very little deterrent in place to make people think twice about this sort of thing, and due to high demand I imagine the rewards are quite high for those profiting from such thefts.

Number of folk just generally on the rob is way up, lots of cars being taken 'for scrap' (well its theft, but somehow 'accidentally thought it was scrap' seems to get them out of any kind of sentence happens a lot.
Tried beefing up my own business insurance policy, amount of clauses and caveats that lets them weasel out of their obligation vs seriously increased premiums means for a lot of folk its not worth the extra for the 'cover' they provide.

Is this yours by any chance? Size looks very similar and the visible scratch on the seat tube is identical.

Admittedly, wheelset/chainring and saddle arent the same but can be changed easily. E3 is not far from Hackney Wick.

Seller seems to turnover a lot of bikes.

I'm sure I saw you red light jumping twice today, go a bit slower especially if you are front brake only with a freewheel.

Flipping heck, what's happening on South London at the moment?! Vauxhall, Stockwell, Brixton and Streatham seem to be having more bikes knocked than normal

Which bike? The black or white one?

Brixton police station.

The thief still has over 10 bikes locked up outside. In the estate next to Oval Station

Today by Brixton cycles?
Sorry was late for work :(

Yup...

As posted on the Brompton thread, haul of stolen Bromptons recovered in Merton

I came here to post a stolen bike on behalf of a friend and this was the page I was directed to on the thread. Coincidentally a bike hanger break-in is the reason why I need to make such a post.

As mentioned, posting on behalf of someone else. Stolen in Denmark hill/ East Dulwich area from within a bike hanger. The perforated side wall had been clipped in an arch, bent back, bike cover removed and bike lock beaten.

Not entirely sure when stolen but probably within the last few days/ a week.

If you could keep an eye out please.

Not gonna judge someone for their bike getting stolen, but that’s a lot of bike to leave in a bike hanger, even for a shopping trip. Will keep an eye out but past experience would recommend watching online sales in rest of Europe, they don’t tend to stay in the UK.

I here what you’re saying but In defence this was in a private residential estate, and the hanger in question the most central and seemingly secure. Bottom line no matter how comfortable and safe you feel, someone is always willing to steel your shit.

Yep, I hear you. And again I didn’t mean to sound judgemental, I’m sure it wasn’t a careless decision at all. I do think there are bikes, like that one, that are such a valuable prize that they simply can’t be left outside a building unattended (incl. a bike hanger). Fingers crossed for the owner to get it back.

Hey mate! Fantastic news!
I had my trek Edmonda sl6 nicked from my work in Vauxhall, very close to Vauxhall park. Funnily enough got a call from the police on the 16th saying they got a guy who v.likely was the one. I am suspecting it’s the same dude. Pleased you got yours back unfortunately haven’t heard anything about my bike, it was nearly a year ago now.

Hello,

Sadly, my brothers bike got stolen whilst he’s collecting my Mother’s prescription around 5:50pm today at the Falcon Medical centre near Clapham Junction. He didn’t see what the person looked like however a kind deliveroo driver offered to help him catch the thief but the guy went to a park where motorcycles aren’t allowed to go to and he said he has deliveries at that time (thank you to the driver). He ran under the rain quite far, but wasn’t enough to catch the guy. Please help and contact me or my brother @_earl_magsino if you’ve spotted this bike, its a very simple bike but its very dear to him as it is his first bike and is a gift. Its important to me too because I have fixed that bike quite a lot. Only the saddle has changed in the bike, the last clip/video is the latest look of it. Its a Fuji Feather, Black BLB 60mm Stem, Riser bar, Sugino Messenger cranks, Stronglight 49t chainring, BLB black toecage/ double straps, Black Miche Primato wheelset, has red/purple axle spacers and a Fizik saddle.
