Drive out by the halting site, if you see the bike there then tell the Guards and they can get it. Had to do this twice before. PM me if you'd like to know from what estates in Dungarvan are the thiefs most likely to have come from. Don't depend on the Guards to do anything, they haven't the resources to have anyone on the lookout for a stolen bike, you'll have to find it yourself. Forget about posting here about it, very little chance it will make a difference and also there is no chance whatsoever that the thieves will see what your posting, save yourself the energy for looking for the bike.

I agree with what was said above,you won't really find the gards spending much of their time looking for a bike,You are best find out where all the hot spots for stuff showing up is and look your self

many thanks for replies but to-date no luck the dark orange bmx is still missing, the garda are most helpful in dun garvan, though they din't think i would be wise to go round that estate, being a brave coward I didn;t.
But any news please keep us in mind, thanks

Well despite all your help we have not as yet located the dark orange X Rated Decoy BMX, stolen from the Cove about four weeks ago.
Dungarvan Gardi have been very helpful and haven't given up hope of finding it.
Well our lad is missing the BMX, so much that we are thinking of looking for a good secondhand one, it doesn't need to be perfect, any one know of one would appreciate advice. Many thanks to all concerned

No response to our last post, pity but there you are.
The low life must be laughing all the way to the bank with the number of bikes being lifted, there appears very little that can be done to stop these charming people.
Yes padlocks are a deterent of sorts but most are easy to get over, unless there is a wise person who knows better, any advice in that regard would be of interest as well as getting the bmx back.
If by chance the lads who stole the bike care to drop into casey's caravan park it would of course be appreciated and might be a step in the right direction for them for the future.
Have a nice day

foxcoverteddy - at this stage you are not likely to get many replies. You have had a bike stolen, that is a great shame, disappointing for your child and generally upsetting for everyone. Its a bike though. It was stolen. Its gone. You are not likely to get it back at this stage.

You are more likely to get another on adverts.ie, or freecycle or in a bike shop that does secondhand bikes, rather than a random mention on here when most people have probably stopped reading your posts, unless, like me, they had a quick look to see if you had got it back. Its not that they don't care, but there are other, much greater problems out there that people have to cope with.

Keep the lines open with the Guards, but really for your own sake, for your child's sake and for the sake of your holiday (I gather you are still in the caravan) you need to let it go and move on.

hi looksee
Fair comment and thank you, it was very nicely put which is appreciated, there are of course greater problems, how we solve them is another matter.
Once again many thanks
