Cover stolen

[Burnleyfan188...]

Great, I wake up this morning to find that some scumbags have stolen my oxford cover...unbelieveable. Luckily they havent touched the bike, it's probably just as well i have it anchored to the wall with an almax 3 chain and squire padlock.

I just can't believe the cheek of some people, it's not so much the fact that it will cost me for the new cover but that anyone would break into my back yard and blatently try to steal my bike. Guess I wasn't being over the top with the security....don't let people tell you otherwise.

Did you not lock the cover? Loops for a chain by front/back wheel?
My first cheapy one was nicked unlockable, ended up getting the stormex top quality cover!

Maybe you will find it 30-50 metres away.. It's quite windy

It was in my back yard, I had it clipped on so it won't have blown away. The cover did have a hole for a chain but it was on the wrong side, I chain the back wheel to the wall via an anchor....The cover doesn't fit on the other way.

It was one of the more expensive covers too. Im just getting a cheap one next time.

If it has been pinched , be extra cautious because its likely they will return to take a part or even the whole bike.

i was just reading an article where a guy had parts stolen from his bike 5 times after the cover was pinched a week so before.

Lock it in your garage if you have one.

A tip to help stop this happening - stick something on the side to make it recognisable, house number, name etc. Just make sure you use something that won't damage the water-proofing.

It's a poor do when we gotta chain our covers to our bikes.
You got a security light? might deter...might get nicked !!

Pat
Gonna mark my covers now.

I lost mine recently but it was blown off rather than pinched after i hadn't fastened it on underneath. I saw it about a week later on a scooter outside a local curry restaurant so i just took it back. If it hadn't had my initials on, I'd never have recognised it. Another 20 knicker saved

I need a cover that lasts more than one winter. My last two both disintegrated over a few months with weather and being put on and taken off

Nah actually scrap that, I just need a bloody garage

I managed to finaly get a garage off the council. My last one was privately rented and I lost it when they decided to develop the site, since then all my bikes and parts have been in my flat - bloody madness. Worth applying for one, if the price is a bit steep, (mines £40 a month), it might be worth sharing one.

Just make sure it's chained to your bike next time. That is pretty low to steal the cover though.



And do what has been said. Write your name and door number on the side.

Should stop them as they won't use it. If it was out of the way at the time, they have gone to some bloody effort to steal a cover.

[Burnleyfan188...]

Got a new one....£15 off ebay, not as good but it does the job. Would love a garage but there is no chance as I live in a terrace with a very small backyard.

Also the council houses a couple of blocks up from me all got given new garages...they have all been burnt out and destroyed by the local idiots, every time I walk past them it makes me sad lol

It could have blown away.
Only the other night we saw the TL's cover go flying past the front door, and the bike's at the back of the house .
