Stolen bikes

I've seen this one gumtree, 1 to 2 weeks ago

are you sure it wasn't this one http://www.gumtree.com/london/34/59704934.html?

Bike has been found. The kids are alright! Thanks

Great news, how was it recovered?

no i know what i've seen on gumtree

Thought I would put this in here as well as on the Cambridge forum.....

Devorah has had her bike stolen a couple of hours ago from Warkworth Street near the police station. Taken from outside a basement flat, probably by some pikey fairfolk so not much hope of ever seeing it again, will be checking ebay etc. over the next few days though just in case it turns up there.

The frame is my old green polo bike one, gold Raleigh decals and a bikepolo.ca sticker on the seattube, with a ladies charge saddle and untaped chrome drops. Black machined rims with gumwall tyres. The build is literally 2 weeks old, Dev is totally gutted so please keep your eyes peeled!

If anyone has some parts for cheap/trade for beer let me know so we can knock something up and she can get back on the road...

cheers, Greg

Oh and before anyone asks, it was locked with a decent-ish cable lock through frame and back wheel to a iron bannister

No such thing as a *decent-ish cable lock*.

Tis a beautiful bike though, and I do feel your loss.

hi,

colleague of mine had one of these nicked from outside the great eastern on friday night. thought i'd post it here in case anyone comes across one being offered for cheeps?

he got it on the cycle to work scheme and had had it less than 24 hours before it was nicked. it was snaffled from a lamp post outside while he popped into the bar for a couple of minutes.

fuck me dude - sympathise with the bike being nicked but do you really have to post such outright racist shit…

How is that racist? had I refered to them as gypsies then feel free to call me out on it man

Gypsies are not a race.

I'd be worried if they are!

Fair folk are a mixture of cultures no? Or is that circus folk?

can we not clog up this thread with a discussion about the racial origins of gypsies please?

Too right! Romany Gypsies are a race though. Fact.

The white/cream Look road bike that was on here a few weeks back was being wheeled along Mare Street at around 8.30 this morning. Bethnal Green end and appeared to be a singlespeed now. Sadly a hangover, traffic and rain meant that I didn't get a real look at the guy pushing it.

That's my 3rd spot in a few weeks, mild aspergers and too much time clocking bikes - I appear to have found my calling!

See these guys tonight on these two bikes both way to small for them and the one furthest away had a load of pink girls stickers all over it. Are these stolen? I would say that they probably are.....

Maybe though these guys like to ride round on small bikes that dont suit their image.

This pick was coming out of Greenwhich park tonight going towards Black Heath.

I'm still looking for my bike - anyone seen it :(

not meaning to be a nick pick, but bumping your stolen bike into the most recent page is kinda bad form as it implied that you don't care about other stolen bike but your.

I'll tell you this, 90% of the time you will never see it again, and I mean NEVER, the best thing you can do is to try and get over it and get a new bike, for all you could know, it may never pop up.

10% chance it might but I'm not going to keep looking for that 10%, just keep my eye open.

I don't think it does, Ed, and I don't mind the bumping at all.

I agree with Ed. I know I'm a newbie here, but to me it is a bit of a piss take to only post on one thread, bumping your own bike.

Where's your fucking contact detail?? I know who took your bike and store it (as well as the other) sadly it's not there and I already been to the police with all the detail, including person name and location and time.

They were too slow, '0paperwork' and all that.

When the fuck are you going to finally answer me back?

It been two days and you're still nowhere to be found, fuck sake.

I agree with OS, better someone who is posting because they care too much than some one like this.

He been found and everything's sorted (he was away for 2 days).

The difference is that he didn't leave a contact detail of any kind.

I agree contact detail is a min but can't have been that fussed as he didn't check the thread for 2 days. Just staying I dont mind the desparation as much, more the lack of bother when someone asks for help and then doesn't care to chack for a response.
