Stolen bikes

Ah shit - I'd had this on watch for ages and noticed someone had bought it. Hope you get to the bottom of it!

@jose All ended well. Box went missing at the DPD depot for a week. The driver apparently just dumped it in the warehouse without putting a label on it. After many calls and emails, finally got through to a manager who managed to find it from the images sent. I thought it may have been destroyed by the time I got it, but it all seemed ok. Only problem was the mech hanger had been bent, but new one has been ordered and on it's way. Frame doesn't look as if it has bee ridden. Immaculate condition. The seller, House of Bread (a charity), said they found it in a cupboard in a bike bag, which I also received. There was also a Dura Ace seat post with a saddle in the bag too. Mix of Dura Ace brakes, Record crank, front & rear mech and headset. Only left hand Super Record brifter. I am happy again though. Build to follow at some point. Thanks for posting the original listing.

Unfortunately will be a stolen scooter or a cloned plate

Not quite stolen, but removed from a communal bike storage at short notice which I think is as good as stolen.

I adored this very custom bike, first bike I built, and I did not consent to it being removed. If anyone sees this around Maidstone, Tonbridge or London please get in touch. I spent a year painstakingly thinking about every component, down to the spokes, to suit my needs.

Unique features are the ISM Adamo Peloton split saddle and bolt on rear cog on a Deore XT front hub.

Thanks

removed from a communal bike storage at short notice

could you ask who removed it where it went?

I called up and they essentially refused to tell me anything. Claimed to know nothing about it.

Bullet cargo. Been my workshorse for the last 6 years. Railing were cut through outside my flat on Oakley road N1. Shimano XT gears with all black bars now. If anyone sees it or any rumblings or it I’d appreciate a dm. Went the night before last. Cheers!

A friend of mine had his Specialized nicked a few weeks back in Bristol. It has a custom paint job that the thief might not be aware is unique. Please keep a lookout for it. Cheers

One of my fellow London and South East CX league competitors has had his (and his wife’s) bikes stolen in Worthing.

Locked my bike up after getting a puncture in Vauxhall intending to come back for it in the morning, and there it was, gone!

Pretty gutted, and mainly annoyed at the faff of replacing it in short notice.

Postng here on the off-chance it gets spotted.

that sucks! how was it locked?

@swedeee - A kryptonite lock through the front wheel, frame and Sheffield stand. Not sure of the method of cutting through it, hoping to get some cctv today.

:( sorry to see that

My mate just had his Singlespeed nicked this morning from inside the sainsbury’s local on Bethnal Green Rd (by boxpark shoreditch, E1 6HZ).
It’s a Brick Lane Bikes 6KU Fixie though running as SS. Photo below if people could keep an eye out please!
Unfortunately not many distinctive marks

Tom Edwards of BBC London fame is looking for victims of bike thefts:

Orange Orbea, bike recovered from a scrote in NW2 Cricklewood, Police can’t track down owner. Would be good if this can go back to the rightful owner. Located in Harlesden police station

How was it recovered?

From Met to local resident
This evening we saw a male on foot hovering around the bottom of Midland Terrace and when we turned around he was cycling away at speed on a orange push bike. We eventually stopped the male and have recovered the bike. We believe he stole it from the gardens in the area but we tried knocking on a few of them and the people that did answer didn’t know who owned the bike so we couldn’t arrest the male but we got all of his details.

56cm Mason Definition nicked from Dog and Bell in Deptford last night, along with an Size 2XS Canyon with 650B wheels.

Mason has a dynamo rig plus mismatched 105/ultegra groupset, mudguards and a power meter on the LHS crank.

Bikes locked together a few feet from where we were sitting, some lads on ebikes flew past and dragged the whole lot off down the road. I imagine they're both completely scratched to fuck now, like - so as well as being fairly uncommon bikes they'll probably have some distinguishing marks.

This is the Canyon

fuuuuuck :'(

Heard of many stolen scooter + motorbike assisted grab thefts, guess it was only a matter of time before it went to powerful ebike assisted.

PSA Glasgow bike theft is absolutely through the roof right now. Last few weeks I must have had 30 phone calls, emails and customers come into shop to alert me to stolen bikes. Normally (pre 2020) i'd get 1 a month, 2020 till recent maybe 5 a month. Absolutely mental amounts of theft. Local well being charity just had their whole fleet taken, extra shitty behavior.

seems similar round my way (Worthing/Brighton) with lots of garage and shed break ins
