I just got rudely awaken by someone in my Kitchen stealing one of my bikes - the dirty lowlife had jennied open a sash window to steal my Grey Orange Clockwork Evo 29. Custom build full XT, Nuke Proof Carbon bars, Reverb.
They woke me and I ran out after them but they were gone. At least it saved the 2 month old Yeti that was next to it.
Utter basatrds I've only just moved in to the pad after splitting with my wife so I had not moved the insurance across. Its in a electrically gated car park, completely walled in and the bikes were in the kitchen so I'd not prioritised insurance thinking they were really safe.
Bound to be swapped for a few bags of spice or smack. Its an exceptionaly long shot but if anyone spots the bike in Lincoln area or on Ebay please let me know.
Take the Yeti up to the bedroom.
I’ll keep an out in Cambs. Set up alerts on eBay and Facebook for sale pages
Yeti is getting locked to the towel rail in the en suite.
Off to buy a Rottweiler, Some CCTV and a Kosh 😉
Sorry to hear this @cubist, f***ing hate bike thieves. What size is it? Watching in Sheffield.
Got a picture of it? Where in Lincoln?
That's shit mate, I'll keep an eye out.
When we used to live on Beaumont Fee (opposite the Police station, no less) we got rudely awoken at 5am with some despicable **** opening our bedroom door. Luckily they missed the bike, but took a TV ....who even steals TVs anymore?! It proper shook us up for months after 😞

I live in the centre of the city. Just behind Strait and Narrow. It really is tucked out of the way and I thought quite secure.
Its really horrible knowing they were in my house while I was upstairs. I was so drowsy it took a while to realise the noise was inside downstairs and not coming from outside. They were really quiet getting in but must have banged into something leaving.
I'll keep an eye out.
Rotten bast***s, If these scum are ever caught its a minor sentence that in no way reflects the damage they're inflicted.
I think I'll get into the habit of locking the mortice than just leaving it on the yale lock.
We can only hope the police locate it. Best of luck there 🙁
Quick question.
Seems my home insurance with my wife is going to cover up to £1k -£250 exces so at least I get £750 back (it was worth notably more but better than nothing). The insurance claims advisor has asked me to list parts (it was custom build) am I going to get told its worth more than the coverage so go do one or will they cover up to the £1k limit and no more.
PS I know I'm an idiot not insuring and the Yeti is now being insured
Allthough my quotes for the Yeti to get covered are a 3rd of what I pay fully comp for my 2yr old 500+bhp Merc. FFS How can they justify that?
I'm just north of Lincoln, will keep an eye out.
Rotten luck though.
W&ankers.
Make sure you register it on StolenBike and als oset up some savvy alerts on www.findthatbike.co.uk/ in case it crops up on ebay/facebook/gumtree etc (which it likely will at some point).

One has a key, alarm, tracker? and apart from an organised gang shipping it to eastern europe its pretty unsellable.
The other can be easily removed from your kitchen, car rack, or even just pushing you off it and riding off. Only the frame has an identifying number on it, thousands of pounds of parts from it can be removed with an allen key and sold
I'm down the road in Newark and often see 'out of place' bikes being ridden around with rusty chains. I'll keep 'em peeled.

One driven at speed may hurt a pedestrian. The other driven at speed could kill a number of people. The car includes liability insurance should I drive into someone. The bike is theft only. Surely a claim from me disabling a coach full of children would ouytway a few grands worth of stolen bike. I guess they have done the sums, just seems illogical.
