Is this a bicycle or a motorbike ?

Plenty of cameras between there and the two exits from DCU - give security a bell.

There does be local scumbags walking thru the college frequently eyeing up bikes and giving them a tug to see what they can get away with.

Keep on at security to check the video footage - a mate had his car keyed a couple of months back and security said they would review the video - 3 weeks later and nothing back from them - turns out they had either recorded over it or deleted it by that stage! So just be warned they dont keep the recordings that long.

Guards said they would have a look.

Had one stole myself during the year, so had a mate. Seems popular enough alright.

Saw a few little scumbags looking closely at bikes across from the park one day. Needless to say they weren't long going when I challenged them.

BTW, best place to keep a bike in DCU is in the middle of Hampstead.

Yep I had my bike stolen at Christmas beside the Helix, they cut through the lock with something. They really need more cctv cams or more measures in place. The guards in whitehall said its a common occurance up there...

Presume DCU security went to the ends of the earth to investigate it hah. Useless bunch. Driving around campus all day in vans looking at the girls.

Yeah, I realise this now!!! Unfortunately, I won't be buying a bike for a while.

Eddie said he looked at the cctv and it was pointed towards the entrance of the park and not anywhere where he could see it being stolen.

This is what they cut it with.


You need something like this.

Depending on what lock it is they might not had to of cut through it. Most cheap locks are so bad that if you just yank the bike strongly a few times it will break free. I've seen it happen numerous times.
