Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

It's weird that they would make so much effort for such an old bike (not that it isn't a good one of course ). I've always thought that mine would be pretty safe as it's over 10 years old, but i'm not so sure now.

Hope you get it back and the barstewards get whats due to them

shitty news

so sorry to hear about your bike yet again fella

what goes around does come around - we just dont always get to see it!

[muddy]

that's really crap. And it's even worse if you feel you've been targeted (been there with guitar being stolen), then it does feel like it's personal. Normallly, if there is such a thing as normal, bike thieving scrote, TDM's are overlooked, but you seem to have caught the attention of a lowlife in your area, as you say, who's maybe made it his mission to recycle his neighbours bikes. I'm sure I'd be seething right now. I remember the heartbreak of having my first pushbike nicked and doing exactly what you did: looking around the local rough areas for signs of it. It's a horrible feeling.

I wonder if you can tempt some of the local kids to grass this scumbag up by printing pictures of your bike and offering a reward for information about it's whereabouts and, if you got a spare sim card, adding a mobile contact. Just an idea.

and rather a good one at that

whilst I can fully understand the big fella's "house brick meet hand solution" (there was a time when I would have considered that the only way). You stand more of a chance of getting you bike back this way - The phrase 'as thick as thieves' refers to their mentality and not their allegiance to one another!

sorry to hear about this mate


just remember to have an alibi if your mates happen to find those scrotes

[dablik]

Ian,, really really gutted for you mate,, if this were me i would be explosive right now. Defo sounds like some theivin arsehole somewhere not to far from your house..

Having been through problems with scumbags of a similar ilk,, i'm of the opininon that JG is bang on,,,,in some of our worlds it's a matter of giving justice in a way these scumbags will understand,, and that's by being physical,,,,and yes been there and done it.. right or wrong it works.

Crucify the fka's.

Can only wish you the best of luck Ian,, keep us posted.

to read that you have been targeted again make me sick, I wondering if they have targeted your bike for some reason. taken once and recovered, so they know where it spends its nights and whats around it, pir lights, gate security, fence panels, ground anchor.



I know what it feels like I had a bandit 600 stolen from ny gargen many years ago, they unscrewed the pir lamps so the contact was broken so no one could see them, but the bulbs were still in place so it looked like nothing was out of the ordianery. they miust have done this a few nights before and watched to see if I checked everything. They moved my old bike up the road with the lock still on it. they used a skateboard under the wheel. I had it returned almost written off (financially)


Lets hope you get a result one way or another

Oops sorry just caught up!!

Is it the c or f or all of my 'Jolly's special language' that I'm not allowed to use??

Sorry but there are time when it necessary and that was one of them!!

[dapleb]

No worries JG, I edited out the C's....then scanned through the rest and it seems there were alot of other Carpedians with filter blocking comments (and rightly so), so oive given up now.

What can we do to help SR? Obviously keep an eye ooot for silver parts but oubt else?


Have you posted the details over on the Face-ache site? I dun't use it but...........

"Mark Bentley is the person that set up the FaceBookgroup for stolen bikes. "

[charlietbird]

Not good news at all. It's not fun when you think you are being targetted. I think I am having the same problem, only they are nicking my moumtain bikes. I' m probably not alone, as Iv'e seen some scummy types on very good bikes. Hope your machine is recovered soon, and the damage not too bad. Don't give up

[Saga Lout]

Really sorry to hear this news SR and my thoughts echo whats already been said by others and hope you have some good luck in finding it.

If you don't, then we can all pray that the bastards come to grief somewhere and break their bloody necks. F@!king scumbags.

[AdyZiv]

Sorry to hear such bad news studs, if anyway i can help, lemme know.

[jim850wav]

Unf**king believeable.... B*s*ards..... Have to go with JG find them and make sure they are never able to steal anything again... Many a time I have joked when parking my Mk1 along with other more up to date bikes , "No one will take mine parked with this lot " Dirtbags Don,t know what to say cause nothings gonna make you feel any better

[Snorvey]

Hey SR, don't give up on the TDM's - your contributions to the site are far too valuable.

Best of luck
