Reassurance from Pitcherpro that 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.

Great thread, let's hope that we get some recoveries of our own
It's Worth posting anything that you see that looks sus(bike related).
Spotted both a Canyon Full Suss and and Norco long travel downhill bike in Stalybridge/Ashton Under Lyne, East of Manchester recently.
Just a heads up really in case anyones lost anything that sounds like them. Both times the rider didn't fit the bike.
oh god this thread is worse than looking at the dogs home website :cry:. good luck everyone
Cheers Jonah.........and bump!!!

Hi Guys,
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.
Cheers.
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!
yep i agree with plyphon. this should be pinned
Am I alliowed to agree?? Being the OP?

'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
Stolen last night in Cambuslang.

back to the top
Gutted for you chief1409, getting one nicked is bad enough.
Looking at some of the other threads of late it appears these bikes do resurface after a while. Please help find any of the above bikes
How many people were using Strava prior to their bikes getting stolen
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!!
I will put a pic of my Santa Cruz TRc when I can!
Matt23 no problem.
Gonna keep this thread going as long as I can...or until folk stop stealing bikes!!
Still looking!
Keep posting the pics peeps
Keep looking peeps
Bump
Don't forget to post your stolen bikes on here

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 🙂
Thanks Fieldy. Good luck tracking yours down. Just keeping an eye on ebay. Spent today upping security measures for when the new bike arrives.
Still more bikes getting stolen!! Please post on here and I'll keep sending it to the top!
This must be stolen... Surely... £600 for an Ellsworth of this spec. Anyone???
youre right about that Ellsworth.. bit of a bargain to say the least.

That is probably a scam using a photo found on t'internet rather than a stolen bike. Gumtree is full of them unfortunately.

Here's my wifes , and the guy selling it - Police did ferk all when I gave the details
User also sells on ebay with the same username , i know this because he sold my stolen Yeti 575 on there - Police did ferk all about it .
+ to quote another policeman " I'm sure I'm looking at some of your stuff , but can't prove it"
Love paying my council tax
That pitch should be an easy one to spot!
Keep your eyes out peeps
i had some good luck with my stolen bike...spotted it on ebay and contacted the seller and passed his details onto the police who then went and recovered it for me.
now that they've got it back they wont give it back to me as the insurance company and cash generators who were sold the bike are slugging it out over who now owns the bike...
There's hope yet then?

not sure what's going on at the moment. initialy i'd bought it back of the insurers but the police say its not the insurer's to sell to me. i've contacted the insurers but it seems the police have scared them off and they dont want to get involved, so i'm having to fight it out. hopefully if i can prove the thief sold it to cash generators before i got paid out then at the time of sale i would still have been the legal owner.
i've asked the police for info/updates but it seems they are ignoring me now...
I think I read your other post...it all sounds a bit nonsensical, the bike should belong to the insurance company, because as someone said on your other post, you cannot legally sell a stolen item, whether in good faith or not....it's stolen!
I made a stipulation to the insurance company that should the bikes be recovered I want to buy them back, to which they have agreed.
Any way peeps, Easter weekend please keep your eyes out for any of the above bikes.
