Bikes were inside the building on both days, as they always are.
I’m still vibrating with anger, i reckon i ‘know’ who is responsible and i’ve told the management who i think it is, but without proof…
Thing is, another bloke’s bike was alongside mine both days and his is fine.
I came to my bike at 5pm yesterday and found i had a flat – didn’t realise it had been stabbed til i got home. Because the tyre was screwed i came in on my Boardman, parked that in the same place (i still wasn’t sure it had been deliberate at this point, could have been glass etc) and went to work.
Around 9:45am i thought i’d just check on my bike and found the rear tyre (again) flat. When i took the wheel off i found a slash identical to the one from the day before. Found the toolroom manager and we realised the cut was the exact size of the small craft knives a lot of people carry in the factory – they are part of our working kit.
This means to me that whoever it was went back to see their handiwork early this morning and to attack my bike again.
Can’t prove who it was because of the sheer number (200+) of people who have those knives in the plant but i have my strong suspicions and i’m sorely tempted to do something about it directly.
It would be an instant dismissal offence but i’d want the police involved as well, i want the £60 it’s going to cost me for 2 new tyres and tubes.
