Some scrotes have nicked our TriKidoo from Sainsbury's in Kingston. It's dark blue.

If anyone sees it, drop me a PM.

Cheers

    What? Barstewards! Why on earth would they steal that?! Have you alerted the police?

    Motherf*....

    Surely that's got to be relatively easy to track down. I mean it's not as if you can just chuck it in the back of a car. Also, probably obvious, but the supermarket is bound to have cctv isn't it?

    I was in Kingston this very afternoon (now that RP is, by all accounts, a no go area) and, as it was the school run, and a sunny afternoon, was considering whether Kingston mummies are scrummier than their Richmond counterparts. It was quite difficult to decide.

    Now I realise that they must actually be scummier.

    I'm very sorry to report that I didn't spot your trikidoo. I hope whoever stole it suffers a plague of boils...

    :lol: Great minds and all that. I was just telling my sister that I hope they suffer from anal boils for the rest of their life.

    EDIT: *definitely* Kingston mummies. :mrgreen:

    @rjs - it should be, but it could be stored in the scumbag's garden while they get a transit to take it out of the area. Reported it to two Met Police Officers on their walkabout round the the neighbourhood, too. Have checked ebay and gumtree, and it's stamped, but don't hold out much hope.

    As I say, anal boils, rest of their life.

    I trust the kids were not in it at the time.

    In all seriousness, what a toerag/bunch of toerags. I'm reminded of a phrase my Dad has been known to use: "may your ear-'oles turn to a**e-'oles and s**t all down your neck". I wish that upon all bike thieves.
    The above is a post in a forum on the Intertubes, and should be taken with the appropriate amount of seriousness.

    Some people will steal anything

    My kids have had 2 coats nicked in school this week

    Mentioned it to the caretaker.Apparently this happens every June as the scrote parents 'stock up' school uniform for next year

    Hope you get it back

    Well, cycled round Kingston in the vain hope I'd see it.

    Hope you get it back. Will keep an eye out. Colour? There's been bike thieves operating round here in Claygate recently, and our car with 4 bike racks on top is a bit of an advert. Found the metal bike storage box round the back open the other day - fortunately the bikes aren't in it... just chairs and toys and stuff.

    Not that there are many around but what colour is it and any distinguishing features?

    It's dark blue with pink "Trikidoo" on the tubing. I think it only comes in pink or blue. It's one of these:

    Would be a bit of a long shot registering yourself as "Trikidooltd" in February on the off chance you might nick one in June. Plus the ad says it's a new one.

    Yep, spotted that one. That's the lady we bought it off/who sells them. :)

    Thanks for looking, chaps.

    Christiania bikes are the most stolen bikes in Copenhagen. Good resale value, cost a fortune new, very popular and common.

    Doesn't exactly count as a scalp if you pass one though (even if towing a trailer, as I often do), the damn things seem to be built of cast iron and lead.

    Good luck tracking down the Trikidoo.

    Hi,

    Barstewards!

    Just wondering - how was it locked up and what locks? Could either be nicked by someone who knows it'll be worth a bit - or a couple of young lads who will ride it around a for a while - and then dump it somewhere.
