Things you've had stolen from a bike

[Ming the Merciless]

Someone stole the power from my bike today. Struggled up the regular hill as a result.

A friend of mine was (stupidly) riding through Cambridge with her handbag in the front basket. She was done by a scrote on a moped. It shook her up for a good while.

Valve cores & caps.

A mate had his lights taken from his bike at work.
However, the person who'd taken them clearly wasn't too bright (unlike the lights ) and turned up at work the following day with the missing and very distinctive lights on his bike. An interesting conversation was had, apparently....

Small Rohan pack bag containing my waterproof jacket from my rack outside Costa.

Was it a Rohan jacket or was the thief disappointed?

Endura lightweight

Whenever I stop for a coffee break even if I'm only sat a few feet from my bike I always fit either a cable lock if on my MTB or if on my carbon fiber road bike one of these locks

 

[Brandane]

HALF of a front mudguard from my MTB when locked up in Edinburgh. It was one of those with a cam which tightens inside the steerer tube, and the thief had seemingly tried to lever the whole thing out. The clamp snapped at the bit attached to the front half. They took the front section anyway and left me with the rear part .

Had a whole drop bar bike nicked when I was about 17, then a few years later someone helped themself to my bull bar ends while it was locked up outside my mates house.

This could have been tragic though, my full carbon Whyte Montpellier as I (fortunatly) found it after after a 90 minute breakfast stop a couple of hundred yards away.

A waterproof saddle cover that I used to leave on my commuter when it was wet during the day.

 

[Low Gear Guy]

As a teenager, a scrote stole my jacket off the pannier rack whilst his mate distracted me

 

[palinurus]

Never had a bike or anything attached to one stolen.

Someone attempted to steal my Surly Pacer outside B&Q, but I only noticed a few days later when I noticed damage to the cable.

 

[palinurus]

Someone walked off with the cheapo track pump I used to store at work.

 

[iandg]

A tatty lycra seat cover from outside Sandwell Hospital. I worked there in the 90s. Locked the bike up and took everything that was removable into the lab with me. Never thought anyone would want a fluo green zebra striped saddle cover that was worn, scuffed and tattered.

 

[jongooligan]

One strut from the front crudguard roadracer. PITA as I had to take the rest of it off and stuff it in my back pocket.
