grrr...just thought i'd add this as a record of all the other bike related thefts that have occurred recently..
It was stolen from outside a cop-op in Bromley, the security guard checked the CCTV and said it was taken by 2 kids, and that there have been lots of kids hanging around that particular car park stealing things recently.
I heard that the co-op have recently tested playing loud classical music outside their stores to deter kids with some success and suggested they implement it at that store.
hmmmmm

Hmmm. Quick release seat posts have a definite disadvantage. IIRC this also happened to DDD.
I believe he now has a saddle with a groove in the middle, through which he threads a cable lock.
How was the ride home?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Sorry to hear that Moonio. Silly season in full flow I see
Whilst I appreciate bikes are stolen year round, do they reach a peak in the summer or is this a 'special' year because of the recession?
Continue to hope mine escapes such 'loving' attention :?0 -
Yeah, it sucks when this happens. My expensive saddle now gets swapped for the cheapo piece of crap that I got for a fiver as a spare from the LBS every time I need to lock my bike up.
Locking through the saddle rails isn't always a deterrent - I've seen a few stolen seatposts where someone's got an allen key and detatched it from the saddle. Why anyone would want to do this is a mystery to me. :roll:0
