SCROTE ALERT!! Giant Defy 4 Advanced Stolen ARGGGHH!!

romster

Okay, so today after a long shift, i come down stairs, open the door to the changing rooms and shock f**king horror someone's stolen my bike!!!

The changing room has what seems to be a push bar fire escape door at the back, and this scrote has simply walked through the shop, into the changing rooms, grabbed my bike, opened the door, and ridden away with it.

It was stolen from JE James Cycles Rotherham Shop today between 3.00pm & 4.45pm (i think), more information will be posted tomorrow.

If anyone has any information that leads to the safe return of my bike then I will reward you in someway (unsure exactly how yet but i'll think of something).

I'm one sick puppy right now, upset and angry - i've spent the last couple of months training hard on this baby, and on Sunday, yes THIS SUNDAY, I was riding 100 miles to raise money for Action Medical Research for sick kids on it, so this has been a double kick in the go-nads for me!

Evans in manchester told me, on an Xmas shopping visit, that they regularly had oinks in who cut the chain on the bikes and rode out on one.

They should be shot, like looters.

I once worked in Rotherham and that alone was bad enough, but getting a bike nicked from a bike shop in Rotherham is the absolute pits to the power of 2.

It won't help you now, but get whoever runs the shop to install secure bike stands. (Do they make Sheffield Stands in Sheffield?) and get some of the best locks the shop can order put at your and work mates' disposal.

Bad luck though. I feel for you, losing a bike is shît.

Keep an eye on flea bay,gumtree etc.

As it was stolen from a shop don't they have insurance? Surely if you don't get it back you can put in a claim. *shrug* Hope you get your baby back!
