Thieving bastards

Wake up this morning, have breakfast, get ready and go out the front door helmet on ready to cycle to the shops.. One problem some thieving bastard had let himself into the building, cut the cable lock and nicked my brand new bike from the front deck. Been to police station but what can they do really... Absolutely gutted. 

Have you ever been robbed? Did you catch them?

Hopefully you made a note of the serial number on the frame incase the shitbag tries to sell it on!

we had our childs buggy stolen from outside our childminders last year, what kind of scumbag nicks a kids buggy?

Keep an eye out it's probably someone in your building!

I shouldn't laugh..

Sorry to hear your bad news mate.

Shit world we live in sometimes.

Hope things turn good for you real soon.

That's outrageous, stealing a buggy is particularly low.

Ye noted down the serial number Karly and passed it to the police but not too hopeful anyway!

Cheers Sluff, not the end of the world but I got it on a cycle scheme from work so I'll be paying for nothing for the next 12 months!

All you can do is laugh I suppose.

If you have property insurance, maybe it is worth claiming on that to get a replacement bike of the equivalent value?

I know we don't always see eye to eye, but you have my commiserations.

Anyway, just off for a bike ride on my spanking new bicycle that I bought from a man in a pub.

Had my bike nicked when I lived in Southampton TWICE. Ridiculous really.

At least it was only a shit bike though.

Just won an accumulator for £360 which is a bit more than what the bike cost! There is a god!

If you're after a replacement, (depending on what you're after) I can recommend one of these:

I bought one recently and, whilst nobody's ever going to win one of the Grand Tours on one, it's a great entry level bike if you're serious about hitting the roads and having some fun.

And I hope they catch the fucker who nicked your bike, by the way.

Same bike also available here (Inc delivery £170) https://www.bikes2udirect.com/process.html?id=CavYGCon&mv_pc=2

Cheers lads, looks like a good bet! I'll get it and go hunting the bastards.

Should be more careful with your property, I have been out riding my bike today down the sea front.
