Thieving toe-rags

[Biff600]

Some lowlife has had my fixie away.

It was left in town, locked to a lamp-post and I was only gone half an hour, came back...gone, they even took the lock.

The pub across the road has a CCTV system but wouldn't review it, apparently only the police can do that.

As the picture below, but with a black Charge Spoon saddle and blue/black tyres

The pub across the road is telling porkies. That'd be like saying you couldn't re/view footage from a camera you had placed on your property.

Have another word with them. And I hope you get it back.

Sorry to hear this
Hope it's recovered and undamaged.

They take the lock to prevent the dibble having it dibbed and dabbed, but they needn't bother - since the Government closed the Forensic Science Service submissions now cost around £400 at one of the private providers, and few forces can afford it now for anything but the most serious crimes.

Hopefully the bike will turn up Biff, or the thieves will have a painful accident while riding it.

 

[numbnuts]

Poos sorry to hear that

 

[mjr]

What lock?

Www.stolen-bikes.co.uk and hope you get it back.

It's definitely worth trying to get the CCTV footage. My neighbour had his bike nicked from outside his house. Fortunately, he had previously installed a camera after his expensive motorbike was taken, and had footage of the bike theft. The police recognised the villain who was already serving a suspended sentence. He ended up in jail.

Where was it knicked ?

Just ask the police could they contact the pub for the cctv footage, perhaps whoever was in the pub at the time was busy and just could not or did not want to spare the time.

Keep a watch on both gumtree local auctions and ebay in the off chance it turns up.

That's a very recognisable bike, and a lovely one at that!
It's a shame that nothing is safe any more, isn't it

Are you/is it insured?

 

[Biff600]

Where was it knicked ?

In Peterborough

Are you/is it insured?

Only through my home insurance, and as the bike only cost me £70, it may not be worth claiming

Fingerprints are still done DIY, or at least they were when we had a theft at work (to rule people out rather than because I was a suspect!).
