Attempted bike robbery in Palmerstown

    Last Wednesday night a few people were drinking outside my house at roughly 5am in the morning.

    They walked into my garden and tried to lift my Deauville out of the drive but couldn't because it was too heavy. They bent the handlebar doing so.

    Next they moved onto my Fazer which was parked behind that bike but again it was too heavy and they dropped it which woke a few people up and damaged the bike.

    It's interesting because they were not actually drinking. They were pretending to drink. Their bottle of wine and beer bottles were not opened.

    I've since installed alarms on the bikes. They didn't touch the third bike which had an alarm on it.

    Seems to be a right pain being a bike owner and living in a city these days!

    BTW, how are u getting on with the "third bike"?

    Maybe the universe is trying to balance things out by taking one of the bikes off me!!

    The "third" is brill. Took the paniers off it so its much more comfortable filtering through m50 traffic.

    Unfortunately not. The security cameras don't notify me if there is anything going on. I used to have them notifying me but they would just send me emails if someone is coming home late or a cat runs by.
