Further to the above Dave has been in touch with Stuart Berkleys Oswestry and Alf Jones Wrexham (Cycle Shops) who say there is a gang operating in the area targeting high value bikes.

I had my bike nicked after arranging for someone from ebay to come and view.

PLEASE DONT GIVE THEM YOUR ADDRESS LIKE I DID!! Meet them somewhere neutral, and way from your car so they don't follow you home.

Will keep an eye out for you...haven't heard much in the way of stolen bikes in these parts so this is a wee worrying.

Yeah - definitely concerning. I've always classed round here as reasonably "safe". Thieving scum bags!

Having said that it always pays to be wary - just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you!!

edit: and obviously I'll keep eyes peeled too!

Cheers all - I've told everyone I know and twittered it.

Stay safe
