were abouts in haslingden?
cars inds estate was locked up at 12.30 and gone by 1
Will keep my eyes peeled for this. It sounds quite distinctive
Got any pictures you can post up?
i have tweeted it for you too
I'm in Rawtenstall so will keep a look out. Should be easy to spot a yellow bike.
Scrotes pinched my P7 earlier this year. Still looking though probably ended up on the back of a pikey wagon.
no pics. we would have pics but its not even been used yet a day at gisburn and a few rides to work. really wish i had took some pics. it does stand out. bright yellow frame with kashmire fox 40's with black lowers. saint cranks e13 chain guide and bash guard fox dhx 5.0 will try and find a close copy of it on google later but of out now to meet my mate.... dunno what we gona do to sort this shit out.....any one think the work should have it covered. at first they had complaints about him keeping it in the factory so they built a bike hut outside so he has left it locked up and covered in a bike cover after 30mins it had gone
Saving for so long, yet forgot to budget in insurance.
When will people learn?

nice timing.
Thieving Scum - I've had bikes stolen & it's not nice, especially when it's your custom pride n joy!! Hope your mate get's it back
[s]Saving for so long, yet forgot to budget in insurance.[/s] Riding a woefully inappropriate, incredibly expensive and very 'attractive' bike to a place a work then leaving it unattended for hours, day after day.When will people learn?
FTFY.
Hope he gets it back!
๐ฅ :cry:ALL round.
Hope he gets it back. I've been on the receiving end of bike theives twice but as others have said, no insurance and riding an expensive (looking as well) downhill bike to work and leaving it locked in an unattended shed? Madness...
I'm in the valley and will keep an eye out, grim news
i understand that riding a nice dh bike to work for most people is needless but this was his only bike and is locked and coverd up. there is cctv footage of a white transit van (2010ish and the diesel cap was either missing or black) turning around in the car park at the time but the camera was not working near the bike shelter. also the footage of the van is that poor that the number plate is unreadable.
would anyone know if the work insurance should pay out?
on other days he has used it for work he has left it inside the factory.
there had been complaints so had been asked to leave it outside in the bike shelter.
so he has left it where instructed coverd up and locked and the scumbags have take it
The company insurance will only cover company property so unless work own the bike, he's knackered on that front. Hope he finds it.
Smells of an inside job.... how did the thieves know it was covered up, in a shed?
not a clue but he has had a recent feud with "the window shutter" to cut a long story short one guy walks around saying he is cold (only wearing a tee-shirt) closing windows when everyone else is hot........................ this would seem a bit extreme for a petty thing like that?
It makes me wonder if someone at your work is involved??!! No cctv and someone not wanting the bike left inside??!! just my thought...But i have to agree and i know its hard not too but riding that type of bike to work is asking for trouble, that said i hope it turns up in one piece
cheers for the help guys. we are hope full such a distinctive bike will turn up. we just know it could be months, if anyone even thinks they have seen it either in the woods on the street anywhere please let me know asap all leads will be followed up!!!!
the bike is believed to be in waterfoot area still.
someone has been trying to sell it in the pub and around town
I cant describe the feeling of hatred I get towards the scum that steal ๐ฟ Bring back Hanging Please ๐
Is that Accrington skate park?
yea it is phil
That will stick out a mile around here.
is that the owner or a scrote in the picture ? skate park down the road from me. will keep an eye out
Where in accy are you konadad?
is that the owner or a scrote in the picture ?
that was before it was stolen not the owner in the pic but think the owner took the pic. my mates pretty much got over it now but would be nice to have the bike back in whatever state it might be in.
ohhh and we have heard it might be black now but built with same parts....... hopefully someone will see it soon.
oops
bullough park
I'm up burnley road.
kona dad is there any riding to be had in bullough park?
any big drops or jumps and things like that?
i used to live at the top of ormrod street as a child. can you still go right from the top of fern gore into town through the park ect..?
nothing in the park but you can drop down through priestly clough and catch the old railway track up to Holland pies or down to the skate park. hi Phil I used to work up at Hugh Davies . I pass through carrs estate quite a lot on way to peel tower etc. will keep eye out
bump to keep it fresh
another bump
has anyone seen this bike yet? or maybe cheap parts meeting the description?
tony your friend must be gutted....my guess is whoever took it probably spotted him riding it to work and has followed him there and scoped the area out before taking it...
most likely its someone local...
you should mention it to all the local bike shops so they can keep a look out in case it gets brought in
its most likely though that its been shifted away from the area or will have been stripped down so its easier to get rid of...
i know haslingden well and i wouldnt be surprised if it been nicked to fund someones drug habit...
Hi Guys
I have heard through a local bike shop that the Police Station in Uppermill, Saddleworth have a Yellow Cove Shocker which they discovered at someones house shall we say...
Maybe worth calling them as it could be the same bike.
Good Luck
Unfortunately tony won't see this as his internetz is broken.
Bugger can anyone contact him or the owner of the bike?

I know WatsonTony is missing at present but I have just seen this bike with a little scroate in accrington. I've rang the police and given a full description, would of challenged him but I currently have a broken arm.
I've asked the police to keep me informed, hopefully a happy ending can be had.
I have a possible sighting yesterday outside the coop in waterfoot they may have been at lee quarry about five in a group riding in road and smoking at the same time
Said scroat was with another lad who had a cove handjob. They were smoking roll ups, he is leaning on a 4 grand bike and can't afford proper fags.
Yup there was another dark coloured cove in the group. I saw them twice once at coop and later coming down main road from stacky probably caught on CCTV in stacksteads I would imagine as its covered by police cameras maybe coop as well. That's if police are bothered.
Will have to wait and see but at least we now know it is local.
I might pull them if I see them again and take a picture.
can't afford proper fags
rollies ftw.
Unfortunately tony won't see this as his internetz is broken.
Hahahha
