    I've had two bicycles stolen from Harrington street around the corner, might even have been the same guy. Cops wont do anything to him, some form of ritual humiliation would be suitable punishment

    Y'know what, if we can get the king of twitter, Lance, to retweet this, I think that's almost as good as getting the bike back :pac:

    I don't know the make or model. Nothing particularly extravagant though.
    It was a cable style.

    Cable locks are useless, they can be cut through in about 2 seconds.

    D-Locks are really the only serious lock, with cable a good option for securing the front wheel.

    This morning on my commute to work I saw about 5 bikes chained to a railing in front of one of the flats on Kevin St. I didn't have time to stop but it might be worth checking around there. It was on the side facing Aungier St DIT along the laneway.

    Oh bicycle robber,
    You came on a Friday,
    Sold the bike on the Tuesday,
    Got spoken to the Gards on the Wednesday,
    Got your head ki**ed in on the Thursday,
    But you stole another bike again the next Friday...

    4000+ views on the thread. Nearly 100 twitter mentions.
    Why not have a stab at mailing the popular radio stations.
    Has the potential to be something popular they'd like to jump onto and give a quick mention or one might even take up the cause. Has pics a Dublin thief, it's local, it's "social media" related.

    "Can social media find my bike" etc...

    Worth a stab...

    Darcy might pick it up (being a cyclist etc) best to shove the point that it already has momentum rather than his show being plagued with other 'my bike has been nicked' emails.
    I'll say one thing, I'd hate to be commuting on a Bianchi right now:D

    Any chance of posting up a serial number or something that could identify it from other bikes? a scratch, the group set, tear on the saddle etc?

    I don't want to post the serial number online.
    Distinguishing features: pink tyres, a black ripped Selle San Marco saddle,
    105 shifters with one of the caps missing.
    Dent on the downtube

    Good luck with recovering your bike. My cousin lost his winter hack 2 weeks ago near Malahide outside a cafe not locked so watch out. seems that some thieves are looking out for weekend groups .

    A lad in work had his nicked from the Office Carpark couple of weeks ago, it was a nice bike as well, they picked the fella up on the CCTV and hes been caught, he admitted to 26 other bike thefts.

    Doesnt look like much chance of him getting his bike back though.

    Rotten luck and I sincerely hope the bike is recovered and the srcoat is caught. Any chance the bike was targetted? It seems a bit mad that he would walk brazenly into what looks like a relatively private spot and spend 20 mins (?) breaking the lock to take the bike, as well as having the presence of mind to bring a hi-vis vest with him.

    On a lighter note, maybe it's time for the Guards to take this sort of thing more seriously - they should form a "helmet squad" modelled on LAPD's "hat squad" who tended towards the robust when dealing with crime......
