Yes thats what happens all the time and with motorbikes as well.

Seven grand. For a cycle, albeit an electric one. Gawd.

I hope insured.

Yup - the only real protection against theft is insurance and an attitude that if it happens then at least you get to get a new bike

I don't insure but my bike lives in my spare bedroom and I rarely lock and leave outside. I always park where I can see it. I know it is not possible for everyone mind.

If things are not bolted down they have gone , trouble with relying on insurance is it makes more expensive for everyone.

Yes insurance companies will never suffer a loss they just hike up the price for the person that claimed and everyone else to cover losses. Its like shops they hike up the prices to cover shoplifting and everything else.

As I said it is rarely, if ever out of my sight when travelling. If it is I have four different high grade locks which at least gives me time to teach the would be thief the error of their ways.

And round tuits. One of these days I’m going to get a round tuit.

 

[Oldhippy]

My bike is my transport, my hobby, my workhorse. I worked hard to get it and it is my pride and joy. Despite being non violent in any other way I would make an exception if I caught someone trying to nick my bike.

What is a tuit?
