It’s a bit of a long shot I know but if we can catch the thieving scum that would be great?!?!?

photos? I’ll keep an eye out around Swindon/Marlborough (and ebay)

Nasty !
whereabouts in S Wiltshire ?

That’s shit. Sorry to hear it.

I’ll keep an eye out and stick them on the list at work, got 2 bike shops in West Wilts. Fairly distinctive items so may turn up.

They were (are?) my bikes and it was in the Salisbury area. I was definitely a target – they came to my house to get my bikes, ignoring the petrol lawn mwer, etc that was in there, too. Needless to say, I’m gutted. The Turner’s got a ding in the down tube where I wrapped it round a tree in the Pyrenees so they’ll get sod all for it. I’m more worried now about how they got my details and knew about my bikes; maybe it was from event entries?

do you have photos of the bikes?
could help spot em?

you don’t think it was some local scrote that had seen you putting them away?
