    Grey Specialised Sirrus bike taken from Canon Hall underground parking sometime between today and yesterday.

    Thief had to know bike was there, get through first security gate (which was turned off today - landlady heard reports of people tampering with it this morning) and down into the parking. 1 lock cut off it. CCTV was also off this week.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Few hours ago (between 3pm and 7pm) some fecking gob****e stole my bicycle from the fornt door of my apartment @ Maritana Gate, Canada St.

    It's hybrid bike Avanti Blade II (unusual brand in Waterford), blue frame. Packed with usual cycling equipment - 0,5watt front light, two rear lights, two bottle cages, one of them with pressure horn bottle (AirZound). It has Michelin road tyres - front with blue rind, and rear with red rind.

    Every exit is packed with CCTV, so I'll get records tomorrow.

    if anyone spot it in the city please call Gardai Station Ballybricken (051) 305 300 and pass the information to officer T.J.

    EDIT:
    Here's a footage with two lads with my bike:
    <snip>

    Unfortunatelly Gardai doesn't look interested in that case at all. They supposed to get footage of security day after report (should get it straight away as security has acces to cctv 24/7). Three days after I begged and get my own copy then brought it to Gardai station... And.. And they refuse to take copy because officer who runs my case is off duty...

    Scott Scale MTB from 2009 White/Black/Yellow. Carbon Fiber Frame. Schwalbe Tires. It's a pretty obvious bike, not many Scott around.

    Was stolen about 4 weeks ago at Sandyford Industrial Estate from inside the bike shed under Cubes 5, Dublin 18

    Hi All,

    Nothing new Im sure but just a quick word of warning that there's a bike thief gang doing the rounds... its December after all.. They were around Delgany in a van last night, 4am, and they hit as many houses (ie. sheds) as possible in a short space of time :mad:

    They are selective and are only after the better bikes as I know of a house where they took one and left the other. A resident ran out to them and they dropped the remaining bikes and fled, unfortunately with a number of bikes.

    I will post a pic of a stolen bike shortly as it was a German make and not available here so may be obvious if it turns up.

    Be vigilant and keep bikes locked inside!

    Thanks

    Quick update on this:
    I understand that they have bolt cutters as they accessed bikes that were locked up.
    Also the targeted house had marked handprints on the window as if the house had been cased and marked beforehand.

    Hi,

    Stolen from City Center.
    Had a Kyrptonite lock attached.
    Realagh badge at front.
    I cant post images because I'm a new user.
    Its a silver single speed bike. Red saddle and yellow handlebars. Paint job is brand new.
    Broken but functional pedals and an improvised drop bolt on the breaks (which is not a good idea I know).

    Thanks a million

    Womens 15" Specialized Hardrock Sport MTB
    with Schwalbe city jet tyres & mudguards (not in photo)

    Stolen this afternoon (10th Dec 2014) from Northwood Business Park (Santry)

    It was stored unlocked on the balcony, the door of which is just behind my desk on the 1st floor of the building. The thief must have gained access to the building despite access being by door code and nicked it through windows of the balcony.

    I know the chances of recovering this bike is pretty slim but please keep an eye out.. Thanks

    My bike was stolen nearly 2 weeks ago. I've been keeping an eye (twice daily) on donedeal, adverts and buyandsell but as yet no joy. Also checked the Garda Possession Flicker Account page.

    The Garda Facebook page has just posted some pictures of stolen bikes recovered in the Dún Laoghaire area.

    It might be worth a look for anyone who had a bike nicked in that area.

    Had my bike stolen from Rochestown Lodge Hotel on Rochestown Avenue in Dublin 18. It was stolen some time between the evening of the 10th & the morning of the 18th December. I had it locked with an Abus coil lock beside the entrance to the leisure centre.

    The attached picture is not my bike but this is the exact model, bar the clipless pedals. There's a slight buckle in the rear wheel, it's got a Conti Gatorskin on the rear wheel and a different tyre on the front (think it's a Schwalbe but not sure). Removable white mudguards on the front and rear of the bike and a saddle bag attached. There's a cateye mount on the front handlebars, well worn but no light attached (took that with me at least). Bottle cage & pump clip (no pump) attached to the frame. Shimano Sora gear set but with a black hanger bolt replacing the original.

    I filed a report with Cabinteely Garda station so fingers crossed, hopefully it turns up.

    Google generally caches websites. It is possible to get phone numbers and such off them after the bikes have been sold.

    Found this out walking the dogs just now in the park beside Beaumont Hospital - The mrs says its been there a week

    I took it home with me for now before any more damage is done to it, as its probably salvageable in its current state

    Its a Decathlon Rockrider - Its a bit worse for wear - The front wheel & saddle are missing and a few other parts stroked but no damage to the frame .The U lock is still attached to the back wheel - PM me if you know the owner I'll probably stick a poster up in the hospital as I reckon it was stolen from there

    Scum :mad: - Heres a picture in its current state:

    Stolen: had my old Peugeot triathlon stolen from blackrock last Saturday (20/12/14) it's all white with a chrome fork and fairly old and battered looking, has numerous stickers on it with one rear brake and also ridiculously short handlebars which are covered with black electrical tape, it was a single speed and had an old Mavic aksium race wheel with a battered gator skin tyre, it's a really distinctive bike, I made it appear that way for such moments as these.. It was taken from underneath the walkway bridge in blackrock beside the dart station around 2am its been reported to the gardai and I'm keeping my eyes peeled but I'm assuming it won't show up.. I'd really appreciate any info at all, hopefully I can get a few pics up soon

    Not stolen but lost, hopefully this is ok in here... Aer Lingus managed to loose Byan McCrystal's bike, €11K

    BIKE-600x337.jpg
    Having ridden for the all-conquering Aquablue team for the past couple of seasons, top Irish rider Bryan McCrystal travelled to Frankfurt earlier this month to launch the next phase of his career.

    Attending an event to mark the launch of his new squad Team ASEA, McCrystal flew from Dublin with Aer Lingus.

    He brought his time trial bike worth between €10,000 and €11,000 to use in a display at a business conference being held in Frankfurt by the US-based ASEA sponsor.

    But while the event went without a hitch, the same cannot be said for McCrystal’s return journey.

    His bike was loaded onto the Aer Lingus flight he was travelling on. But almost four weeks later, the bike has not been seen since.

    And according to McCrystal, the maximum the airline will pay out in compensation is €1,200.

    The bike is a Trek Speed Concept 9 Series TT machine.

    The frame is two years old but has recently been resprayed in the livery of his new team.

    And all of the components are new including a Shimano Di2 Ultegra groupset, a Fast Forward three spoke carbon front wheel and a rear disc wheel.

    Worth keeping an eye out for...

    Did they locate the €5k that must have been in the saddle bag.

    Surely that isn't €11k worth of bike. :confused:

    Good to hear it was found though.

    This came up on my Twitter feed just now, in case anyone is missing what looks like a dual suspension Kona MTB and Trek Hardtail MTB.

    They're being sold from the Waterford area but from a more recent tweet from the Gards a third bike was identified by the owner after it was stolen from Dublin. So they could've been pinched from anywhere.
