Utter twunts!!! I’ll keep an eye out locally not far from you. My Mrs is forever leaving her bag in the hallway much to my annoyance this thread is proof that she can’t ignore.
I know it’s no consolation but if insured you can replace them, recently here ( Northern Ireland) they break in for keys but have also boiled your kettle then stand at your bed threatening you with a scalding for your wallet, cards, pin no, jewellery etc so quite traumatic!
Btw also gutted got you mate feel your pain I had a Stumpjumper ripped off my locked roof rails while taking a show at a trail centre.
Hate to ask but is it covered by insurance in this situation? Be interesting to know. Policies usually cover them inside cars, if locked to the car/out of sight but the fact the car was stolen…
It is covered by insurance, already spoke to em ( was named item on insurance) wouldn’t have been covered of it was in car & car insurance/home insurance already playing responsibility tennis over shoes/helmet/tools in car
I.had the bike out the back yesterday cleaning it on the stand, and rode it around the block a few times, wondering if targets coz of that?
Go to replace door locks now as wife’s house keys were in her bag
Shitty thing is we were asleep upstairs, 4 young kids.
Got a message via FB today, someone had been offered my bike to swap for a DH bike he was selling , guy was suspicious so he checked stolen-bikes.co.uk & found my bike
Sent me FB message & a video of what is definitely my bike
Spoke to police they are checking out this guy, they think video wasnt filmed in his house so trying to see if they can recover it
frustrating to know its nearby & thanks to facebook I know where this guy works, who hes going out with etc etc,
My luck must be turning, I won the ‘guess how many mini eggs in the jar’ compo at work yesterday too
Keep the pressure on the police, tell them you know where he works and you’ll go there yourself if they don’t get a wriggle on. Also threaten them with the local paper – is it still the mk news? Local press are really good at putting very public “you have all the information, why are you failing taxpayers?” pressure on police forces.
And fingers crossed once you DO have your bike back, let the scrotes work know.
