stolen bike

jets

long shot i know but having got a puncture on my mountain bike that i usually cycle to work i took my well looked after 6 month old focus cayo, that i use for proper cycling, to work this week and parked it locked in the bike shed under the cctv camera and of course it got nicked with the lock snipped(not the greatest lock in fairness, a combination one). i could talk about the so called security where i work all day, but admittedly i should have quadruple locked it, but anyway,
my request is if anyone is offered this bike to buy or sees any free ads for it, i will gladly give a reward to information leading to where the bike is and who has it. long shot i know, but im sure some of you will understand my frustration. that was my bike and some scumbag has it now.
Its a 2009 focus cayo, red and white.
Thanks for reading.

Are you able to get the video of the CCTV?

Put up a picture and go around all the local bike shops in dublin and keep a very close eye on gumtree.ie, adverts.ie, donedeal.ie, buyandsell.ie and even ebay maybe.

Good luck getting it back, will keep my eyes peeled too.

thanks lads, it was stolen in the ballsbridge are. there is an exact picture below. other notable things are that having taken a tumble on it the grip on the left handlebar is noticeably less than on the right as it fell off. actually bought some hurling grip in lifestyle but never got around to putting it on. other slightly noticeable things are that i never put clip pedals on it(couldn't afford it yet!) as you would expect to see on such a bike. thanks again, anyone sees it or hears anything i would be delighted to get any word on it, i know its a longshot but im gonna try everything to get this back

Might be better to edit your top post and embed the picture image there... it will get more attention at the top of the thread.

Never underestimate the stupidity of scumbags.

Blanket the area in flyers - especially appeal to cycling teams or clubs.

Try everything to get the security tape.

Every day, do a google.ie search.

Go to ebay and setup as many different searches as you can for the bicycle. They will update you every day.

Watch these boards.

Try every other free service, like craigslist and all.

Talk to the Gardai. Go to as many Gardai subStations as possible. Try to get as many people to see the bike as possible.

Sorry for your misfortune. I bought the same bike from reading opinions here, and always looking out for similar on the roads, so will keep a look out.

I know its a horrible thing to say, but id give a good look around any flats in the area. A friend of mine had his bike stolen 6 months ago from grafton street only to find some lad cycling it around a block of flats beside DIT a week later. It was a 2009 madone and the guards managed to match the ID number to it and he got it back

Sorry to hear it shes a beaut, i would agree with the above try all local flats and 'bad' areas nearby. As its ballsbridge and not the city centre i would say theres a fair chance its still in the area. My specialized was robbed in town during the week and the mixture of shock, sadness and rage upon finding the locks on the ground is indescribable. I and unfortunately many others around dublin feel your pain. Hope you get it back.
