[Closed] Stolen!! On One inbred Leicester area

That's crap matey, where abouts are you? I'll keep my eyes peeled I'm in LE7.

That sucks mate. I'll keep a look out.

Thanks @ Pik n Mix.
LE3, but the police say there's a gang operating in our area out of Coventry. So it could be anywhere in the east mids

That's scary, do you think they followed you home from the ride last night?

Not sure if they followed me home, however my neighbour had his car broken into last weekend.
Then all off a sudden you here that 5-6 people have had their cars broken into over the last 3 weeks in the same area.
I think they just roam about till they find something that interests them.

Bastards! I'm down in Mount Sorrel this weekend so will keep an eye out.

Thanks ads678

Bloody hell, Andy. That's a bummer.

Hope you weren't followed from the ride last night (I doubt it, though).

Probably just a bunch of bastards.

I'll keep an eye out. I'm not a big user of eBay etc, but I'd definitely recognise it if I saw it out and about.

I guess that means you won't be out on Saturday morning. Hope you get some joy, especially after the recent fork and dropper upgrades.

🙁

Got quite a long commute round Leicester, will keep an eye out.

@Danny, I'll be trawling the pawn shops this weekend. It's not likely it'll go on ebay straight away.
It's highly unlikely we'll see someone out on it on the trails anytime soon, the police officer says they generally get sold on to feed some sort of habit so will change hands among the thieves network. They tend to show up after they've been told two or three times. Hence the pawn brokers search first.

@fin25, thanks!

Eyes Peeled in LE6!

The pawn shop in Beaumont Leys is notorious for nicked bikes, but then again, so are most of them... 👿

I'm from Beaumont Leys and it was full of stolen bikes when I was a kid, has it changed much in the last 25 years??

Worked with a few young offenders over the last few years, all the ones who nicked bikes took them there.

Shared on Facebook so all my riding pals in the Coventry/Nuneaton areas will have seen it.

I'll keep an eye out too.

Thanks for keeping a lookout chaps!

I believe that the bike has now been sold on, It turned up on Gumtree on Monday and has now been sold. So some unsuspecting person may be riding around in it.
Please keep an eye out for it.

Live in glen parva, work in market Bosworth. I'll keep an eye out.

Live LE10 and work driving about in Cov so will keep an eye out.

Mrs Toast to the thread!

This site looks useful for people who have had their bikes stolen

Up date!
The police have arrested someone and have recovered some parts.
The frame is missing along with a few small bits.

Some positive news!

Fingers crossed the rest turns up, really like the inbred in that colour scheme.

Hope you manage retrieve the rest of it! As emac said, www.stolen-bikes.co.uk is a great place to get your details up and to use the 'Find that Bike' feature (which collects adverts from Gumtree, eBay, Preloved, etc).

Live east side of LEICS out near Uppingham and currently have a buiding site in Cov. will keep peeled for anyone trying to sell on to unsuspecting builders

I study every bike that passes through Uppingham. Sadly I haven't seen that one.

Update!

Not enough evidence to prosecute, it's annoying that after I found the guy myself and the police catching him with the items at his home address. The CPS don't have enough evidence to prosecute.

Anyway I'm moving on. Building up another inbred.

Thanks for offering support and keeping an eye out. Much appreciated!

Free to carry on stealing at his leisure.

To be fair you know where he lives so you could send him a sinister letter stating you will be watching the scummy **** should he go on robbing.
