My club mate Rosie's bike was stolen last Friday outside her workplace beside the card club on Fitzwilliam St just off Fitzwilliam Sq.

Here's a picture of the bike, it's a Claude Butler Dalesman:



Hers was slightly different colour, a very light greenish-blue.

And the lock



we reckon it's a sz 52.
Please contact me if you see it. Thanks

that lock looks just like a "Oxford Armoured Cable lock" do you know is it?

My silver Trek 7.2FX hybrid was stolen from Scoil Uí Chonaill GAA club in Clontarf this evening.

It looks more or less like this one but a good bit dirtier - it's more silver than grey too. It has a tortec silver rear rack and had an Altura blue and silver pannier on when it was stolen (and the pannier had a nice Kryptonite mini-evo lock in it - FFS!). The rear tyre is a new semi-slick bontrager hard case and it has black BBB pedals rather than the stock silver ones. There's a bracket for a child seat on the seat tube. No pie plate or wheel reflectors.


In the highly unlikely event that anyone comes across this for sale, you might let me know.

Last week I had a Rockhopper and a Trek 4300 stolen out of the car :mad: in the Kinsale, Cork area. Miraculously recovered by the Gardaí yesterday, at the same time they recovered another Rockhopper in an unsual/maybe custom red and blue colourway which looked standard to me and an unbranded singlespeed frame in a bronze colourway which had been stripped of it's running gear. Anyone who has been robbed of those bikes feel free to PM me and I'll put you on to the Garda concerned with the bikes. Garda of course is going to try and find the owners but I thought I'd put it up here too.

Bikes recovered in Kinsale/Ballinspittle/Ballinadee area, Co. Cork.

Robbed in a smash and grab from the back of my Van this morning at about 11.15am. The Garda have the 3 involved but as yet no sign of the bike.

My girlfriends bike was stolen from our flat on Arran Street East on Saturday 3rd September 2011. It was an Apollo Mens road bike, balck, but it was spray painted with orange so it looks like a tiger. Only the main frame is sprayed, the forks and back end are black. The Apollo logo is still intact on the main bar just below the saddle.

It's a very distinctive bike, given the colour, and it would be instantly recognised by us if someone was cycling. Its not worth very much, we would just like to have it back from the scumbag that stole it out of our front door. Neighbours bike was also stolen, a white mountain bike with a carrier, but I have no other details of that.

Any help would be greatly appriciated, people who steal bikes are the lowest form of humans.

Is there any correlation between "Back to School" and bike theft???

Why would there be?

Just wondering if there is a spike around this time of year? Sending the kids to school must be expensive enough and a nice cheap bike could be very tempting.

I'm not sure if more bikes are stolen in response to a demand for them. I thought they were sold on cheaply as soon as possible. I know of a guy who, sadly, will buy a stolen bike. €50 is what they go for.

I've never heard of anyone on this being offered a stolen bike so where the hell are they going. I don't buy the "being sold for parts" as surely wouldn't be worth it.

Smithfield is a hotspot for selling bikes apparently. I guess you have to go looking for them.

This was a replacement for my mountain bike which was stolen last month. Very very angry over this. Any information greatly appreciated.

Did i say i was angry ? needless to say i dont think i will be buying another bike soon. Congrats assholes, another car on the road !!

Focus Arriba 2008 (Black) stolen from my home in County Louth. Unique features would be bar ends and FSA rims as these were fitted after purchase.

Would love to get it back as it has huge sentimental value. Used this bike to cycle from Ireland to Istanbul this year.

Two bikes robbed is a really bad buzz... I wouldn't give up on bikes yet, just check out one of the better locks and get your bikes covered by your house insurance.

Thanks mammy, i didn't know you had an boards account:p

Alright lads
Had my Kona lavadome stolen from outside pearse street garda st yesterday, absolutely gutted.
Its a purple frame with white grips, white pedals and white magura brakes.
I know its a long shot but if anyone sees it around my no. is <snip>.
cheers.

Tayto2000

Aforementioned lavadome frame looks like this. Very distinctive as it was one of the last frames Kona did in steel before going aluminium. The bits on it would stand out too but presumably they'll be stripped off.

PM me with any details, Duckfoot has too low a postcount!

Thanks

Hi all.

Had my cannondale bad boy stolen from bike shed outside my home in clontarf this week. Was chained to a wooden girder inside the shed, feckers broke in and cut through the girder to rob the bike.
Its matte black, disk brakes both wheels and a single headshok suspension on front.
Some more info kindly supplied by bikedude, a previous owner (thanks!)..

"Some more technical information on the components so it's easier to identify the bike.

Hope Breaks ( 203 Front / 160 Back)
It’s unusual to see the front break on this ones with 203 in front as is the Hope Breaks.
Headshock Suspension
Continental Tires
The Cannondale Sticks are Black but reflect on light.
And the sticks on the seat stays (Handmade in USA)

Truvativ Crank set (Firex)
Scram X7 Shifters and Rear Gears.
Deore on Front."

And a pic..


Any info is much appreciated,
Thanks.

Dirty ba$tards robbed this at some stage today from the Kilmacud Luas. Damn those battery powered angle grinders from Lidl.

Anyways, I'll be with the Garda soon and maybe there is some cctv from the Luas, but if people here could help keep an eye out for it, I might get lucky.

Damn great bike, karma built it for me. There is some happy thief out there now, wow I want to ruin his day.

Walking is so damn s l o o o o w, how do people put up with it?!

Anyone know who might have lost a Giant on O'Connell Street today?
This guy has some photos of the thieving barstewards.

aworthycause

I am the guy who saw some fairly choice dodgies having a go at bike locks on O'Connell St. They were rolling the combination locks till they clicked. The lock I saw being opened was on a Giant hybrid, black with panniers, looked fairly new.
I took a photo, so send me a message or tweet me (@inquisitioneu) if it was your bike.
I'm not posting pictures here so don't ask.

Hi all,

Just a warning to all, had my bike stolen from the bike rack outside Dunnes Stores on Georges Street last night sometime between 7-8pm.

Was in guitar lessons in Waltons so may have been watched locking the bike up and heading across.

It's a black trek 7.3fx with two dents on the saddle side of the bar. If anyone sees it for sale please drop me a PM, it'd be much appreciated.

Had a Kryptonite cable lock which clearly didn't cause the thief too many issues!

Reported to the Guards.

My Felt F95 was taken from my shed last night at 4am (a neighbour disturbed them). It is similar to the one in the picture with a white metal bottlecage and mini pump on the down tube and a black metal bottlecage on the seat tube, Shimano R540 pedals, a small saddlebag, a detatchable rear mudguard and a cateye computer attached to the stem (the senser is on the front wheel). just stuck a set of aldi lights on it last night too. I would appreciate it if you could let me know (post here or pm) if you spot it.

Thanks

Planet-X SL PRo, very simular to the one above with a cheap set of Shimano Wheels.

Looking at this article is giving me a tiny bit of hope.
