I had mine stolen back in 2010 was gutted but knew i’d never see it again so had an insurance replacement.Not long after a very kind member of the STW community found it on Fleabay at a cash converters !!
So some do get found .
My Specialized Rockhopper was stolen on 12th November last year from Newport south wales, it has some pretty distinctive marks so i’d know it was mine! If anyone spots it let me know. Apologies for the rubbish photo, I never actually got to ride it.
This my first post. The guy from Holy Spokes recommended I post on here.
My bike was stolen from a garage on Otley Old Road 29/01/2014. It’s a Kona Jake the Snake. Key things to look out for are the wheels. They are RS10’s that don’t match the frame colours – I had the frame replaced under warranty after a year so the wheels have blue and white highlights, while the frame is green and black. It has a black Charge Spoon saddle, mtb spd’s, a Topeak rear rack and mudguards.
It’s a pretty unusual bike. I’ve not seen anyone else riding a Jake the Snake. Let me know if you spot it.
tbh this thread is a great idea, if only to keep a record and create exposure at the number of bikes being stolen – would be great in a case to the police to take it more seriously!
‘waves at pitcherpro’ 😉
Also found an alpine recently but owner refuses to answer emails to confirm he got it back or not. bit weird..
both the alpine and pitcherpros pitch was approx 3 month after stolen so dont give up…
people do recognise bikes, especially if they own one similar as was the case both times with me
Santa Cruz Bronson C (large)
2014 Fox Float CTD Boost Valve w/Trail Adjust rear shock (kashima)
2014 Fox Float 34 27.5″ 160mm FIT CDT with Trail Adjust Fork – 15mm QR (kashima)

This comes after my Santa Cruz Blur LT2 was stolen in September…. other than forks (2013 FOX 36 TALAS RC FIT 180) and non-Kashima rear shock it was almost exactly same spec as the Bronson.
There’s a lot if bikes going missing at the moment. If you can, please post pics of them on here and I will continue to bump it to the top every other day. Just might jog someone’s memory!!
Stolen last week in Twickenham area from a secured shed (clearly not as secured as it could have been). Feeling lucky that I was insured. Apparently a lot of it in the area at present. Keeping an eye on the usual auction / for sale sites.
mrben100 – I’m still very pissed off about the two I’ve lost and can’t believe the Tomac hasn’t been spotted. The turner above of razorrazoo should be easy to spot, providing they haven’t been stripped down.
I’ll keep the thread running as long as I can in the hope that at least one of us gets our bike back 🙂
