Can you keep your eyes out in and around Exeter, Cullompton, Devon, etc.
Any information will be welcomed.
Cheers.
Sorry to hear that. Whereabouts was this - in Exeter itself?
Will keep eyes open but imagine they are away up the M5 by now. Trust you're insured.
In bradninch, between Exeter and cullompton, usually a peaceful little backwater.
Seems I was targeted, whether I was followed home from haldon yesterday I can't know, but they took nothing else from the garage apart from the three bikes.
Fortunately all insured, with john Lewis so see how they get on... be diligent out there people.
That sucks big time. I Am not far away in Plymouth, will keep eyes open. At least theyre insured, althoughthat isnt much of a consolation often
Rubbish fella, I’m in east Devon so will keep my eyes peeled
I’m South so will keep my eyes open too.
Bookmarked this
🙏
That sucks. Am in Blackdowns, so will keep an eye out.
Hope insurance sorts it out.
Sorry to hear that Harry, glad to hear you are insured though.
I'm a few miles north of Exeter myself, but my folks are just across the M5 from you-as Hamish says they're likely up the M5 by now-quite scary to think you might have been followed home though. I usually ride to Haldon from home, but if driving usually park at Haldon services rather than the Forest park-this seems another good reason to do so.
If you really do think you were followed home might be worth telling Haldon FC rangers- many of them are mtbers- they can keep a look out for sus behavior.
Hope insurance comes through for you!
bad luck. that sucks.
Cheers guys, totally sucks.
Turns out the guy opposite also woke up to a garage door that had been forcibly opened, nothing stolen from his garage though. Connecting factor - both cars had roof bars with bike carriers on them.
So another possible reason my garage was targeted.
I'm surprised they bothered taking 26inchers. Cannot be much profit for them. Probably was the roof carriers.
Its all profit to them Trumpton!
Have a bump op
