Read about this one, turns out it belonged to a Guard

That is not true. It belonged to a German tourist and was returned to him

Fair play to the Garda involved

hmmm, well it does now, just like the 50 notes in wallets handed in or swiss army knives taken off young lads...

Hmmm, No, it doesn't. It was returned to its owner, see previous post

If anyone has or knows of someone that has had a juicy bikes e bike stolen in the last while possibly a good few months ago. I have some details as to its whereabouts.

Plan to contact the supplier to see if they have an owners data Base failing that it will be dropped to gardai and more than likely head to auction.

It was someone's pride and joy at some point and not a cheap investment. I would assume it was stolen in Dublin area.

Just an update on this.

Returned to owner who was over the moon.

Owner was tracked down through the store he bought it off luckily they kept his name on file. Possibly something all shops should consider doing. The possibility that he may have sold it on since original purchase did cross my mind but he had all the details and the battery

Come to think of it I never considered checking bike register website. Is that still running or was it a flop?

Thurles by any chance?

Grab All Association

Just after 5am coming back through Thurles we seen a member of traveller community pushing two bikes out towards the Horse and Jockey road near the Turtulla/Clongour area. The Gardai were called and notified about it. If anyone is missing two bikes in Thurles PM for info.

Scott Speedster 15 just stolen from my garden shed 10.30pm, Dublin 12.
The gardai called round to tell me someone had reported seeing it being stolen, was weird having the gardai tell me my bike was stolen instead of the other way around.
Went to the back shed and sure enough, there was an empty space where I'd left my bike after working on it this evening.
General features: Black with purple detail, 52cm/ small frame, compact 105 groupset, alexrims front wheel AAHHHH brand new Conti GP4000s tyres front and back just bought and fitted, Mavic Aksium back wheel, cross lever brakes would be an unusual feature I added myself, brand new dark silver Shimano spd pedals (A600?) just fitted this evening ready for the Great Dublin ride in 2 weeks.
'Yorkshire' sticker on the front.
An 'MKM - Harrogate' sticker on the downtube and a name sticker 'Hannah Hauxwell' towards the back of the crossbar.
Specialized Lithia saddle.
Gardai have all details, so fingers crossed.
Trouble is they know where the shed is now and that I have n+1 bikes.
No problems living here for 10 years, upping the security was always on my to do list.... bollx.

As someone that believes in strong law and order and a recent purchaser of my first bike in probably 20 years (a Giant Defy 1) I'm sickened by this thread and how rife thefts are.

Thank f**k I'm in a rural area and plan on using the bike just for spins and not commutes so I won't be locking it anywhere.

Still, I really need to buy a lock for when I go on longer cycles and might stop into a village shop to grab something.

I've actually taken my bike into shops with me at times. I've never been given out to for it by staff.

I have taken the front wheel off and walked in with it, so at least I could run after someone if they did nick it.

as you'll also see bikes are often stolen from sheds so best to ensure wherever you keep it at home is properly secure.

Looking at Facebook these have been recovered

Does anyone look at these?

Stolen Bikes: Cube Peleton and Focus Culebro

Bikes were taken after the Great Dublin Bike Ride from a car parked here
Claude Road (https://goo.gl/maps/DkW7EVhCopA2) between :1430 15:15.

The Cube had Conti 4000s11 23mm's and the Focus has 25mm's.
The Focus had a Roadlink derailleur hanger attached and an 11-34 cassette.
Both bikes had Crud Mk11 mudguards.

There was a red audi nearby that drove away, but it may have been a coincidence.

The Focus was a prize from the Junior RAS Sportive last year, and is of sentimental value. The bike was donated by BikeWorx in Celbridge @TeamBikeworx

Why do they cuff their hands to the front. I'd be cuffing them bhind and find a revolving door I had to keep passing through.

He was probably back there a half hour later. These are the kind of idiots scumbags that steal your bike and sell it for a tenner for a quick score.

Folks just for anyone in the Ashtown area. My bike a black specialised with yellow decals, handlebars and a yellow trim around the wheels was stolen from the supervalue in the village centre.

Please keep an eye out for any fitting that description. Sorry I don't have a photo. It was on my old phone

A friend just said to me "**** it, I've had five bikes stolen in the last two years, I'm going to buy new bikes for my kids - they'll probably be stolen bikes and I don't care."
Obviously he's going to have a problem making the moral case when his teenager comes home with a phone he bought from a man in a pub a few years from now…
There really needs to be a Garda publicity campaign about the fact that if you buy something that might be stolen, you're helping to support the theft industry.
I was glad to see someone advertising a Cannondale on adverts.ie today with the receipt photographed to prove ownership (with identifiers blacked out).
