    I'd not bother d-locking my missus anywhere. Except maybe to my bike to deter wouldbe thieves.

    Take my wife, please

    I've found Cambridge to be fine as long as you keep them indoors and out of sight. There are so many easy targets lining the streets that someone would really have to be targeting you to bother breaking into a building.

    Hope your properly insured. If you are make sure they dont fob you off with a lower value machine.

    M***********s! :evil:

    Gutted for you. The fact it was taken from inside your builidng is even worse. How the f**k did they disable the d-lock without giving the game away?

    C***s.

    The problem is we are moving into a new build flat, and it does have a secured cycle park that needs key access and is CCTV covered, but I can't bring the bike in my flat due to not having enough space, and dragging a wet bike into a carpeted flat will not be good.

    Kaiser, that is not good man!

    Yeah it's s!!te but the good news is the neighbours saw someone! They have given a statement so that's positive. The local rag is doing a story in it, I've posted it on every forum going so it's going to be hard to sell!

    One day I'll catch one of these cnuts and take a d lock to their fingers, that'll stop em thieving!

    Clank they just took the bike with the d-lock so it Wont have taken em long.

    I just hope that spreading the word online they won't be able to sell it!

    When you say it was left in the vestibule, is the vestibule the communual entrance to get to all the other flats within the block or do you mean the entrance within your actual flat?

    It's quite a rare bike to move on too IMO. If I were thieving scum I'd stick with the common brands...

    Man this propper sucks, like been previous stated its a rare bike to move on and hopefully it will be spotted.
    I know it won't make up for it, but home and contents should be providing some new bling.

    The vestibule is a common area for our 3 flats, our insurance says its covered as long as its in a locked building. Fingers crossed that's the case. I'm with NFU Mutual and the bikes are insured anywhere so I should be alright

    It was lock to itself, ie the d-lock was through the back wheel and frame, so unrideable.

    I used to live in a block of flats and theres no way in hell I would have left a bike in the communual entrance area, even for a short period of time, lock or no lock (lets be honest a D lock isn't going to stop them), especially by the sounds of it was just locked to the frame and wheel? Makes it easier as they can lift it, run to the van and take the lock off later.

    I'm sure it sucks and hopefully you'll get it back from the sounds of what's happened so far, but perhaps a lesson we can all take note from and I doubt you'll be leaving it in there again ;)

    I know what you mean, the house I live in that's seperated in to flats is owner occupied by two stout members of the neighbourhood watch scheme so I thought it was safe. If it was a complete house i would have left it in the same place because it is behind a locked front door. They smashed through the glasses to get to the lock so it's breaking and entering. Ross, one of the guys from our club, had two bikes nicked from his spare room while they were asleep with no locks, I see no difference between how secure these two incidents were, know what I mean?

    I've learnt my lesson the hard way, I hope the insurance covers it but in future the bike will be in the flat, behind one more locked door.

    To be honest if they want to steal it they will

    Sadly, this is very much the case!
    I'm now very aware of people around when I'm taking my bike out or putting it into the garage. I once got followed into the housing estate where I live, so I turned around, left and came in again a few minutes later.

    I retweeted your message, hope you get it back and that the thieves are strung up by their balls to a lampost.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    This is correct.

    You can only make it as difficult as possible for them. What I do is leave Mrs Gs sisters Raleigh Max unlocked in my tool shed as a sacrifice, if they are opportunist, they can have it, my bikes are triple locked to an anchor and the frame of a different bike shed with two more bikes chained in front and on top of them, hopefully this would make it a pain to steal but how fat can you go? It's sad that it's a pain for me to gerty mt bike out and that I cant just whack a lock on it

    Only problem with getting these back is if there actual bike thieves they will have stripped it for parts to sell, this is much hard to trace.

    But on the hole i agree thieves are the worst and should have there hands removed. I'm not against stronger punishment for thieves, first time hands go second time head.

    Gutted for you, and it's made me think about locking my bike up in the garage, more of a deterrant than anything else

    +1 Got some Kryptonite ground anchors ready to be installed in the garage. Make it as difficult as possible for the barstewards.

    I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if my bike was in a common entrance not attached to anything solid.

    In our old flat i used to keep it on the 2nd floor outside our door chained to the hand-rail on the stairs.. until they demanded i move it to a cupboard outside.. never felt good leaving it out there, at least outside our door i might have heard someone.. apparently it was a H&S risk :roll:

    hopeyou find your bike and they catch the B****** and shoot them!

    When we got broke into last year, I was like FARK, my bike. Then realised the bike was still there but my car had gone..
    I got that back, so fingers crossed you will this too. Or a very nice replacement at least :)
