GT i-drive and Pashley Sonnet Bliss stolen. Sons of beaches

timpop

Yup, I'm another recent victim. Tuesday morning. Went to work. Then... The morons lifted our big iron gate off the hinges, climbed over the 7ft fence and ripped open the shed door. They could then open the small gate and ride off. They tried to get into the neighbours too but were not successful. Stayed away from the house as my dog would have warned them off. I was going to take mine to the LBS that morning but didn't.

The spoils, just in case they appear on ebay or something:

My wife's new Pashley Sonnet Bliss, cream and red. Medium. No basket.

My 2005 (bought in 06) GT i-drive, red frame but with some nice upgrades. Manitou Nixon Forks 140mm (good scrapes on right logo), Hope pro2 front and rear hubs; front red, rear black (hope hoops rear) Hope M4 front brakes, 183mm grey disc, rear Hope Mono Mini 183mm red disc. XT mechs and shifters. Middleburn chainrings. Ride stem. Flux saddle. Manitou sticker on the cross tube. Vans sticker at the bottom of the down tube. SPD peddles. Panaracer CG tires. Ergon GX1 grips.

That'll do. If you see 'em on ebay please let me know. Who knows, it happens. Claim going in so at least we can get another bike each.

Sorry to bore you with all the details.

Later.

Low life thieving shits. Hope you find out who had them away. After you have your nice new bikes anyway

timpop

Thanks. Claim will be made in the morning.

Get this. My neighbour saw a guy fiddling with the lock on the iron gate on Monday night. He said he was looking for his dog. She sent him on his way but thought nothing more about it. Until the next day. She got a good look at him so gave a good description to the police.

I hope he gets caught.

Hi Timpop,

Know how you feel mate! came home from night shift and found rear garage door bust open, dreaded looking in and when I did the sight of my bike a new Marin Wolfridge and my stuff missing was horrible.
My claim just been settled with insurance and new bike purchased, took a while but sorted now. New security installed so fingers crossed.
Hope your claim goes well and make sure you put down everything they took.

All the best
Steve.

Thanks Steve. It is a horrible feeling isn't it. My heart sank. It's weird not having my bike anymore but at least I have some insurance. I'm not sure how it'll work with all the upgrades, I am wondering if they will allow me to break it down. I'll find out as I'm calling them today.

On the plus side. New bike. Could be worse.

Cheers
Tim
