Next time take the whole thing.

Got back to Chelmsford station late yesterday afternoon to find that my bike had lost a bit of weight..

Both wheels, handle bar, seat, gear assembly and the plastic bit where your drinks go - all gone

Basically they left me just the frame.. I felt a right knob carry that home..

People where looking at my as to say "I bet he's nicked that" or "Why doesn't he ride it?"

How pathetic. So annoying when people think they can just take someone else's stuff.

That f**king sucks! I've never had anything big like that stolen from me, just a pair of shoes once.

Is it covered by insurance?

I had to chuckle when I read "and the little plastic bit where your drinks go" though, just seems like if they were going to go through the trouble to remove that they might have taken the whole thing.

The crazy thing is that someone must have seen it happening, it must take a few minutes with some spanners to get that lot off

Jesus! No way can you totally dismantle a bike like that without getting noticed!

Admiral Huddy · 24-09-2007, 13:09

Takes me about 40 minuts to dismantle that bike, which I do normally in the spring, so yes someone must have seen something but in all honesty, would anyone say anything? If I say kids or someone looking around at the bikes, I will say something. They normal scamper off pretty quick. The cycle plot during weekdays is locked between 9am and 5pm.

Not at them because I don't fancy a confrontation, but I would probably report suspicious behaviour along the lines of someone taking a spanner to a bike in the middle of a cycle plot. Is it insured?

Too bad I live so far away. I have more bicycle parts available than I could haul in my pickup truck. You could come and take what you needed for free.
