Bike stolen from Southampton

[Ollie W]

My Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disc (2014 model) was stolen today from my bike shed at home in Shirley, Southampton. It looks a bit like this but with black mudguards and lights (and my D lock was attached in its holder):

Please let me know if you see anything around if you're local, or if you chance across anything on the net. I've reported it to the police and have got the word out on social media.

Do a search when you are logged into your ebay account, log in every few days and check for it.

Did you have any pictures of your bike with you on it, did you have the frame number ?

Sorry about this.

Post your bike on e Bay as for sale with loads of photos and details of the theft.

I have got to ask. Why was the d lock attached to the holder?

No pics with me on it as it's a week and a half old. Am trying to find the frame number. The reason the d-lock was in its holder was because i had cycled home from work and put the bike in our bike shed which is secured by a code. There was no sign of a break in so we have a feeling the thief may be an ex neighbour who was chucked out of the block of flats.

Go back to the shop and ask for the code

Ollie - i sympathise at your loss, but left in a communal lock up with no D Lock
Lesson learnt i take it. Good luck with finding the bike .

Like he said but you can set up a search that will email you the results daily.

I'll keep an eye open in Portsmouth.

Lesson learnt. Was naive to think a block of just 4 flats could be trustworthy. Sounds like the police have pretty much given up too, since my LBS didn't note down the frame code either.
