Bike thieves cannock

Canyon spectral cf8 right sided bottle cage and sod pedals stolen today at 2.15 from outside bike shop at birches valley.
Male 30’s green north face jacket jeans or leggings with trainers.

To the bike thief I hate you- you’ve stolen the only outlet I have away from a tough home situation. Hope you rot in hell.

If I knew how to post your photo I would.

Forgot to say thank you to everyone who stopped to let me check.
To the gent who bought me coffee and cake your a star.
To the bike shop for having ace cameras.
The police for turning up and having good try.

To the thief – your face is going to be plastered over social media by the end of today.

Sorry to hear that. Not heard of too many thefts from there recently, was it locked?

Hope you get him!

Insured?

Not good, I often have a browse of the bike shop, as soon as my mates get bored and come in the shop I go out. They think I’m over cautious.

Assuming it was not locked, but still brazen stealing from there as if you get caught there’s a lot of bikers to give you a black eye.

2mins in bike shop – not locked done it god knows how many times. Checking on insurance but suspect it’s not a good answer.
Absolutely brazen.

Ah mate feel for you. I leave mine unlocked there all the time when just pooping in. Normally other riders about so has a safe vibe to it.
Good luck with insurance.

Sorry to hear this, it must be a terrible feeling.

If I knew how to post your photo I would.

If you’re plastering the scrote’s mug all over FB you can get the image URL and use that to post a pic of the **** on here.

Mate, that sucks. Hope you get it back.

I hope you bought something as well?

Theives there are known to wear biking clothing, you’re taking a massive risk leaving anything unlocked and popping into the shop.

Assuming it was not locked

Makes no odds there. They cut the locks and snapped our bikes out of the carrier’s when I went for a piss.

It’s a horrible feeling, completely disproportionate to the value of the bike (I’d MUCH rather my car was stolen, for example).

I hope it works out for you.

I have a set of 29er Maxxis Forekasters which I might / could donate to help get you back up & running

Might help get you out quicker on bike sorted!

Maybe we could have a sticky @mods

Which is why you need proper boltcropper proof locks.

I must confess i was wondering if we could build a bike out of parts for him if no insurance?

Another reason why I do my best to avoid the place. Why is bike theft so prevalent at Cannock?

not much stops a battery angle grinder

Probably, I’ve loads of serviceable parts in the cellar

No, other than the racket and showers of sparks for several minutes attracting unwanted attention!

Camera footage is now on Cannock police website.

This one?

Sorry for your loss OP.

Doesn’t look like your average scrote going by the video. Perhaps dressed up well to try to blend in, or an opportunistic theft?

Really, really hope you can get this bike back quickly.

I think we stwers can help out. There must be some way, someone on here can build you a bike.

If the police have put the video up then it’s not going to be the usual scrotes.

Happy to donate some parts from the spares bin, got a nearly new set of 29 WT Maxxis Shorties I don’t get on with as well as a brand new WTB saddle, stem and 10 speed Shimano shifter.

I found a 180mm I.s. Mount to Post mount calliper you can have too 👍👌

Oh and some tubeless rim tape !

2 finger braking – thief needs some skillz lessons.

Hope you get it back OP.

I have loads of parts – if you want 26″ wheels!

I don’t get on with as well as a brand new WTB saddle, stem and 10 speed Shimano shifter.

Pretty sure I have a 10sp mech

Same, happy to dig through the spares and see what’s useful ?

Deffo got a 10sp shimano mech that I dont need right now.

Si

Front & rear Avid Elixir trails in a box in the shed (with rotors) if needed.

Time to start a “bike for Cubed” thread?

These scrotes don’t need punishment. They need GUNISHMENT.

Sorry, nothing useful to add. I can however provide a handlebar-mounted bell. Which will at least prevent further thefts.

I have 26″ wheels but nothing too flash (might be stans flow or something like that)

Aw mate, sh!tty times. Loads of 26″ stuff available here if ned be, just let me know.
