Another stolen post...

[sgtcalle]

Copied from my fb post.

STOLEN! Sometime last night (31st-1st) from a secure residential carpark in south ferry quay (down near Brunswick dock). Cut through 2 chains to get it so looks like a professionals. After a drop a few weekends ago the fairings are cracked and cable tied together. Please keep an eye out. And for fucks sakes keep your bikes under lock and key.

Yeah I have since added the reg to my posts. Reg is W117COF. The most part obvious identifying features are the cracked fairing. Could also add sprint steering damper, fox shock, Giles rearsets to the list.

Cansa, thanks for the links. Will PM you the fb link

Nose cone is missing a piece on the RHS near the bar, cracks to the left hand side fairing. Tail fairing has a crack along its length.

Just to add insult to injury, ive just had a text saying my replacement fairings will arrive in the post today

What chains did they cut through ?

Does it matter what chains?
If they were big solid things and the bike was chained to a proper solid fixed object, then all it means is that they came prepared and knew the owner would not be around/close to the bike.

OP just for the info, was it taken from a home or work address? And how far does it place you away from the bike?

Theives know when someone chains up a bike and then lives say up on a 10th floor apartment, that the owner is going tube able too fuck all about it, when they are messing with their bike.

It matters because people can avoid said chains.

There isn't any chains that would stop a theft, if they were not using a pair of general bolt croppers though.

There's too much almax= good and everything else is asking for it theory on BCF though.

[sgtcalle]

I had an Oxford 10 mm one chaining it to my deauville, and a 14mm mammoth one attaching it to a gatepost. Both were cut. They left the deauville where it was. Obviously they targeted the bike.

I am on the 3rd floor, the bike was left in the communal garages on the ground floor. Strange thing is, you need a fob to get into the garage. The door isnt damaged so either they had a fob to get in or managed to get the door to open without one. I'm going to knock on all my neighbours doors today. Somebody knows something!

What do I do If I see it? ride tell the police I think there is a stolen bike next to me or screwdriver in ignition and ride home then post with picture and you come and collect?

[conker]

Could some one tailgate a legit fob user? Shutter for my work carpark doesn't close quick enough so someone could easily follow someone in. Having nothing to chain the bike to at work concerns me a little.

Been quiet a few burglaries up by me (Childwall) the past few weeks

On Friday someone broke the door on my shed to look what was inside, probably seen I have a bandit, felt sorry for me an left it.

Same night 4 houses down they robbed a freelander

it must be the season for it....

[stevo as b4]

Is there any CCTV?

It seems poor if a gated entrance with fob key entry can be bypassed so easily. There's no way for them to climb/cut a fence and get in etc then wait for someone to arrive so they can get the bike out?

Roger, if the bike was deliberately targeted then OP could have been watched for a week or a day or whatever, coming and going. In an apartment block type complex with such a carpark, would you not want to know what floor the guy with the bike lives at before stealing?

If it's parked outside an owners ground floor bedroom window, it makes life hard I would say. But then if OP is on the say 6th floor and has to take a lift, maybe go through a couple of secure fob doors or similar, then he wont be down anytime soon if your stood by the bike with the tools out etc.

That's what I was trying to find out, though I do agree with you that a cheap very easily cropped chain is not as good protection as a 16mm or more. I'm guessing as OP had more than one chain, it was not a 16mm+, as if you want to use the same chain for home and out and about 16mm is too big and heavy to be bothered with.

Still two chains are better than one, unless your an all you need is one big Almax and a smug face kind of person. There's always the day that the person with a single monster chain cant get it to lock or loses the key etc. More locks and chains the better IMO regardless of type and strength.

From my point of view the Almax thing isn't about the chain being super tough, it's the fact that you won't get standard croppers around it.

I live in a flat on a reasonably quiet road but I doubt anybody would notice somebody cropping a chain in my car park. However, if you started angle grinding a chain, it'd make enough noise that somebody would hear.

I'm not naive enough to think they'd look to see what's going on, I'm basically living in London after-all. But when I come home to find my pride and joy gone, one of the first things I'd be asking my neighbours is whether they heard any loud machinery going off that day and if so what sort of time. There are 50 other flats within 200 meters of me, somebody would have heard something!

Narrowing the time frame down to half an hour or so would give me somewhere to start on local shops' CCTV if nothing else.
