Someone stole my Grobag, please stop, torture and slowly kill them if you see em.

I got burgled last night and the theiving bastard/s took my Grobag, which had in it, amoung other things: my camera, my passport, varous tools, pair of campag delta brakes, a 3T adjustable track stem, a Sogreni bell, my (beloved) Rapha mitts, my IPAQ and numerous other essential bits of my life. So I'm not happy and have (at least temporarily) taken out full membership of the hang em high and flog em brigade.

On a more temperate note, I wouldn't want anyone physically hurt, or anyone here put at risk of a lengthy jail term for a spot of DIY justice, but if anyone does see someone carrying my bag, if it's safe and practical to do so please do recover it and pm me so I can report it to the police. Thanks:)

Condolences man. That really really sucks.

Jesus man.. you had everything in there (or is that just for the insurance report wink wink).
Will keep an eye out for it.. it doesn't half stand out! Only problem is I don't know what you look like so if you get hit from behind by an Aussie screaming "thieving cunt" at you, sorry in advance.

I can't imagine this going unnoticed

shitter about your passport. some fuck will be using that to create a fraudulent identity.

the other stuff sounds quite distinctive, so is the bag.

it must crop up somewhere!
will keep 'em peeled

awful awful awful. if i see it i'll burglarise it back.

I feel your pain...same happened to me a while back with a distinctive Bagaboo full of useful stuff - you'd have thought they'd turn up somewhere. Will keep eyes out

That's a shitter. Didn't you say something about keeping your bike and a macbook or something inside that thing too?

:( Wankers....

Hopefully someone will spot it. It's so distinctive.

on the lookout, mountainbike ready to chuck.

Condolences man.. I felt like shit when i lost my wallet, i think i'd probably rip my face off if this happened to me.

jjessusus

that sucks so much

AHHHHH, sorry to hear that.The house will be on the look out.Scott feels gutted for you : (

That is shit - will keep my eyes open.

man, you really manages to cram your life in there!

Did you do the graphic on the bag yourself? It would help if its unique.

keep on eye on gumtree & ebay especially for your electronic bits.

sry for the loss dude - will keep eyes out.

Campag Deltas? Really? That's just adding insult to injury. Hard lines. :-(

Thanks to everyone for the words of comfort. Yes, there was genuinely all that stuff in there and a Paul cross-top lever that I'd forgot about, I tend to carry this strange smattering of bits about that relate to various things I'm working on so I can pull em out when discussing things to cross-polinate/inspire new ideas. Weird maybe, but true. It has though been suggested to me that for my next bag I should just hang a gold brick from a length of string, less valuable and slightly lighter if not quite as functional.

I worked out the graphic with Naomi Rider, who embroidered it, so yes, it's definitely unique. The gutting thing is that the police reckon chances are it'll get dumped!!! Bastards!!! Anyway I'm keeping my eyes peeled and will post an update here if I recover it, just to avoid being hit from behind by a screaming, if well meaning aussie.

i'm gutted for you, i really am. what an absolute doo-rag. not you, the perp...

I'm ready to take someone dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnn.

That's fully shit, nice looking bag, pretty sure it will be easy to spot. I'll keep em peeled.

Sorry to hear about this....know how you feel....what part of town?
