its probably a good idea to inform the gardai but be aware, the likelihood of getting this back is very slim. a friend has had three bikes stolen in the last couple of years, two from his garage, none have returned. gardai informed him that theres a large bike theft ring in operation and they cant really do much about it. bikes are moving up and down , and in and out of the country the whole time. dont be surprised if this bike has already left the county. post as much info including pics online asap, you may get lucky. you have just reminded me to look into insurance for my own bike. best of luck with it.

Is it a bike or a missing person you're looking for?

The Gardaí already know who the culprits are but you'll have to do
the groundwork, in other word walk the beat in the area.

So sorry to hear about your bike being stolen. You should also post your message over on the Stolen Bikes thread on the cycling forum of Boards. I really hope you get it back.

That's the location they prefer because as they are 'relatively' young they look

like students so don't ring any alarm bells if you'll pardon the pun!

I have a decent enough U-Lock (best I could afford) and I lock my bike in the bike shed in WIT. Hopefully that is enough to keep the scum away.

On another note, were the guards much help OP?
