Unusual bike found

stolenCubeBike

Hi all, woke up to leave for work at 5:40am only to find my bike stolen. They cut through the rail to which the bike was locked. I'm quite upset about this as this is the only way I can get to work for a 6am start(no buses before 6).

Just wondering if anyone knows what I can do to find the bike.

Bike: cube-sl-road-blacknblue-2018
Stolen from: The Island Block Block G Chapelizod, underground parking

Many thanks!

Nothing. report to guards, keep looking on done deal/social media to see does it appear for sale.

Not a good start to your day. Does the carpark have CCTV?

Trekker09

Keep an eye on Donedeal and Adverts.ie. AS already mentioned, report it.

Sorry to hear OP, but underground car parks are notorious for bikes being stolen, hopefully you get some luck checking done deal and adverts. But keep your bike in the apartment, a colleague in work had a bike stolen in his under ground car park the second night after he bought the bike, had 3 locks on the bike. The replacement bike is now kept in the apartment.

I haven't been to the Guards yet as I had to get to work. Will do so as soon as I am out. I'll keep an eye out on Adverts and DoneDeal. Will check with security if they have footage - I need closure ... or my bike back

Check CCTV, report to gardai etc..

The truth is though, the majority of these thieves are not locals.

A guy who went to school with me, who grew up to be an absolute scumbag approached me a year ago offering to get me a top class bike, said they rob them over the Southside and Kildare etc.

My Trek 8.4 DS 2016 was stolen from the underground car park of my apartment block ( located off the Grace Park Road , Drumcondra) between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning.
Not sure what the point is of posting this but maybe someone will come across it for sale

I assume you have a bike cage at your apartment. Any details on how they got in?

Probably just waited until someone was going out to open the gate. I subsequently discovered there is a locked room that i can get a key for.. but they could brake in there too I’m sure. I had it locked to a steel pole in view of a camera ( 2 kryptonite locks). Will see what the cctv turns up

If you have a photo, stick it up, even if it's just a photo of the stock model
You can also put up on

That's really the main benefit as I see it. More eyeballs.
Also the chance somebody will see it abandoned somewhere, probably more likely for opportunistic thefts though.
I'm also in Drumcondra, will keep an eye out.

Thanks. Picked up something to keep me going from Bolton Cycles this afternoon until my bike is returned The Eastern European guy who appears to run the shop is sound and gave me a good deal.

2 kryptonite locks and still stolen. They were determined thieves.


Keep us posted.

Sharing this from the Stoneybatter FB page, this has been abandoned, possibly stolen, if anyone recognises it.

This looks a lot like this one. I can't make out the tyres though:

Apologies if I'm wrong!

Jeez. so anyone who has a bike resembling a stock photo that someone posts is likely to have stolen that bike?

No, just trying to help being honest. He says it's not a common model and has Continental tyres on it which matches that description.

That bike is for sale for over 3months, at least an offer was made for it 3 months ago

The bike that was stolen was taken a year ago. Not to suggest that the one in the ad is the same bike. Remarkable that Hauk was able to remember the bike from last year.

I'm two days from finishing up my current job and don't have much to do so I went back through the thread to see if anything matched any current ads.

Just trying to help

That's mad.
I thought it was March this year.

The seller seems remarkably uninformed on the matter of bike sizing.
