Bike Stolen - Minories Car Park, Tower Hill

[TheArchitect]

Was going to post this straight away but police reckoned they had a lead and asked me not to post anything online until they had followed up. That lead was a dead end so here's my post...

My bike was stolen on Tuesday 28th from the Minories Car Park, by Tower Hill.


Picked up the bike Monday morning from garage after some repairs. Parked at the car park as normal on Tuesday morning around 8. Went back just after 6 and it was gone.

Two bikes were taken that day, mine and a 2012 ZX6R.

To get to mine then cut a slice out of the brake disc and slid the disc lock out. Found the piece of brake disc and disc lock discarded to the side of where I parked.
The other guys bike was chained to one of the railings. They cut through the chain.
They also started cutting through the chain of another ZX6R but left it, perhaps got disturbed and legged it.

Police are reviewing CCTV but so far no leads and frankly I've given up hope.

Second bike stolen in a matter of months. Insurance woes to follow

That is just so awful for you, total sympathy.

Trouble is, it will keep happening until the bill make better efforts and that those caught suffer severe penalties. I favour their deletion...

Sorry to hear that bud.

In all honesty i would pack up bikes altogether if i lived in London and had no where to park it securely 24/7.Either that or move out and commute in.

Still keen to get back in the saddle once insurance have settled but it depends how bad the insurance hike is this time. If it exceeds half the cost of a season ticket I won't be able to justify it financially.

Fuckers. You can only hope they wipe out on it and save the planet some oxygen.

Is that the bay along the street or the multi story whatsit? The latter I always thought was pretty secure in terms of cctv etc?

#bikelife isn't scared by CCTV because bikelife wears a balaclava.

A friend took his Volusia into some workshop in London a while back. About a week after he got it back it was stolen from under a cover, alarmed and locked. He was convinced the shop cloned his keys and alarm fob and nicked his bike.

Of course battery powered angle grinders are now the weapon of choice for scumbags and what can you do, Even an Almax won't stop one of those.

Sorry to hear that pal.

I hope they catch the perps and cut off their hands.

Sorry to read that op.

Alas, if some low life really wants to take your bike, there's really very little you can do about it. Especially when left in a public area. This is one of the reasons that I take the bus down to my dads 99% of the time (a fairly dodgy area of Liverpool), as even with two alarmed disc locks and chained to some railings, if they see it on a regular basis they'll be tooled up waiting for it and it'll be gone before I get down the couple of flights of stairs.
