There and back again

Hey,
A funny thing happened to me this week. Last Friday night me pride and joy got nicked from right outside my front door. I wasn’t impressed running up and down my street in the wife’s ‘winnie the pooh’ dressing gown and a bobble hat (it was cold), with no sign of my bike in sight. I had a miserable weekend. Then to my joy the bike shop called up on Monday saying its been spotted less then a mile away from me house. Further joy when it was returned with not too much damage.

It was quite a traumatic experience, but it turned out not too bad in the end, anyone else suffered anything similar?

I hate thieves with a passion. If you can't afford it, you can't have it! Simple as that. I don't understand their philosophy of 'If I can't afford it, I'll take someone elses'.

Good to hear you got it back! Thumbs Up

Lucky you got it back, you are VERY lucky to actually see it again to be honest but if we was in a perfect world, you wouldn't need to be lucky in that subject since it wouldn't have been unlucky in the first place to get it stolen. (If that makes sence.)

I was very lucky indeed, when I first realised it was gone, I though it was a pro job into the back of a van (was only 3 months old and still sparkly). I didn’t think most people would get past the disk lock and fat oxford chain at the back. But considering where it was found I assuming it was kids, glad it wasn't torched tho!!

tbh, disc locks aint much of a borther, a pro job is in and out like the wind mate, before you have even put the kettle on there gone, back of the lorry thank you very much, 800 pound. a few tips just incase they come back.

Ross's Top Tip's

1) put a cover over it.
2) make sure you have locked the bike up
3) stick a few stickys up, saying beaware of the dogs.
4) try and get an auto light that comes on when it sees someone moving.
