Stolen Bikes Thread - Mod Note please read post #1 before posting

Hey all, good to see this thread.
I had an older model Cannondale 'Bad Boy' hybrid bike stolen from the Georges St. corner of Hogans Pub (Dublin) on Saturday night/ Sunday morning (08.01) last from about 12:30-2:30am, from one of those tubular bicycle railings.
Bike is matt black with those (bit cliched) gargoyle type images, American Classic wheels, mainly Shimano XT group set/ gear/ brakes etc and red handlebar grips.
It has great (dare I say) sentimental value as I had it quite a while and basically replaced everything over the years.
Lock was gone too and was an amoured cable lock type?
Anyway, I would appreciate if anyboby could keep an eye out. Thanks.

Just remembered that I forgot to post here when my bike was stolen in Galway city (just before Christmas)

Its Fongers-Intercycle from the 80's racer/tourer with drop bars, a green frame and red forks as well as a Biopace chain ring. also has a rear pannier attached

Got the bike cheap and had it for two years so not too annoyed when I worked out my usage to cost however what f--ks me off is that it apparently would have been a good frame for fixie so its probably stripped and now being cycled by an annoying hipster (apologies to all non hipsters fixie owners)

Does everyone know you can bring your bike into Donnybrook and Irishtown Garda Station and have the serial number registered on their national pulse system? If the gardai find your bike they can get it back to you. It's started coz they have to sell hundreds of bikes they can't find an owner for every year.

hi there, a friend suggested i post here about my bike that was stolen last night (13/2/12), if anyone sees it they can send me a pm here. thanks

giant escape R1, same model as the picture below


had black plastic mudguards fitted
fairly noticaeable red sidewall armadillos
fittings for 2 front lights, 1 rear light and cateye micro wireless

taken from the stand between charlies and the globe pub on georges street (across from DBS castle house)
locked up at about 6 and was gone when i came out at 9.15. spoke to someone at the stand who said the bike was not there when he locked up about 7.

bike was locked with one of these which i had been led to believe was quite good, but is in fact a piece of **** (lesson learned there) as they cut through it pretty easily. looks like a simple bolt cutters did the trick.

any info can be passed to me or directly to pearse street garda station (need to figure out if i can post the pulse number on here)

thanks for your time.

thanks ba, appreciate it.
i managed to find an actual photo of my bike, which may help if it is spotted
