Utter Consternation

Passing by IFSC towards Beckett bridge, saw the aftermath (heard the incident) of a bike thief getting hit by a car.

The car was turning right, and the thief was cycling away from either a concerned citizen or bike owner, and they undertook and completely misjudged the arc of their and the cars trajectory.

Very lucky to not have a very serious injury, but I had zero sympathy for them. The citizen made sure the driver was okay while the fecker did a runner.

He'd probably get compensation too if he stuck around and got details

Fcuking cockroaches. It's hard to kill them.

If not hopefully they will use the footage.

Was watching the new k series and it's hilarious to see how back in the day the Gardai as a whole are....

They are so out of date they still use paper and ink for finger prints.

The UK is at least 10 to 15 years using technology and other improvements even longer.

They will have ample footage from the dart station where they got on, the DART carriages, and the station where they got out.. yet my confidence of the bike being returned, culprits getting caught or prosecuted, is zero....

What time was it stolen?
What makes the bike specific? It's not a great photo, but is there any red lettering on the wheel rims?

Some little pr*ck stole my bike from outside my house last night.

I cant for the life of me find the serial number ( and I am annoyed at myself for that )

For what its worth its a LaPierre Trek 200 as the picture says

Specific as in not many of them in Galway rom what I gather, stolen between 12 midday & 7pm, it has red handlebar plugs but one is missing, white shimano pedals the clip in type, few scrapes on the wheel rims down to the metal, quad lock adapter on the handle bar stem & a speedometer dock too.

excellent, I was hoping it was a bunch of bored scumbags who took it for a joyride and a laugh and dumped it. It would have been difficult to sell on.

Garda looking for owners of recovered bikes again.

From my house night off 13/5/20, dublin 3 area.
Metallic green, drop bars, no gears, clip on pedals, full-length mudguards, panniers. So any scummer riding it is going to stand out. Unfortunately don't have serial. Pic is of random similar bike, in similar condition with sort of the same accessories.

Any sighting please PM me.

MojoMaker

Ouch, nasty, hope you recover.

Just to clarify, stolen from inside a locked house? Did you lose anything else? It's a sick feeling alright

No, stolen from an unsecured shed in backyard. I suspect it wasn't opportunistic, for reasons can't go into.
The annoying thing is they won't get buttons for the bike. And it's all the bits like panniers, bags, lights, pedals, mudguards that add up to the replacement cost.
Had the bike for at 15 years I think, fupping love it.

MojoMaker

Rotten luck alright. Small chance it will pop up somewhere, stay tuned to the Garda Twitter announcements, they seem to be turning over bikes frequently enough now.

Hopefully not a former housemate!

Hard to say what their angle is perhaps they want to check if it's stolen on bike register (very small database) perhaps it matches a bike they had stolen and want to confirm although it would be a silly way to try and recover your bike if it was stolen.

No reason for you to give it out though if you don't want to.

if its brand new why would they ask for the serial number wen they can see its brand new bike

Similarly. Why would someone sell a brand new bike? Bike shops get raided all the time. Why not ask the potential buyer why they want it?

I wouldn't provide a serial.
What's to stop them going to a garda station and registering "their bike" as stolen and providing the serial number.

If the bike is brand new then presumably you still have the receipt or invoice or some other form of documentation that shows you bought it recently. That should be proof enough if they are genuine and don't want to buy a stolen bike.

CramCycle

+1 if they think its theirs, they can check the serial number when they meet you, if its too prove its yours, you have the receipts which you can provide and block out identifying info, I wouldn't be supplying it to anyways.
