I recommend http://www.bikeshepherd.org/ as a piece of mind for €10. May not stop the bike getting nicked but certainly helps to find it.
Thanks to poster "Unregistered" for the infor day 1

Folks could you keep an eye out for a Focus first full suspension MTB stolen from ALDI carpark in Tallaght this evening 15/10. It was taken from the back of a van in the carpark.
Very similar to this

How did I forget to post this here.


Old unreliable was stolen a few weeks ago, her replacement is in the hands of Parcelforce right now but I'd still love to recover her(slim odds I know). Have to say I was pleasantly surprised how much effort An Garda Siochana appeared to make, I thought I'd report it and hear nothing after that, but they did try to track it down.

Stolen from Aaron Quay, old Holdsworth frame that I've messed about with. Friend thinks he spotted it around so maybe its still out there. If people could keep eyes peeled I'd be much obliged.

A limited edition Colnago Ferrari C2F mountain bike was stolen from Cyclelogical in Dublin sometime between 1pm saturday 15/10/11 and 11.30am Monday 17/10/11, don't open on Sundays. The bike is very unique as there were very few of them made and i would be fairly positive its the only one in the country. Its nearing 10 years old at this stage but had mainly XTR M950 on it with the last series of four piston XT brakes. Below is an exact picture of the bike with the correct spec. The full retail price on this bike is €9000 so if you guys could keep an eye out on the street and online it would be much appreciated. If you have any info please contact the shop on 01 - 8724678 or store street garda station on 01 - 666 8000.

9000? Ouch, who is robbing who again?

Seriously, hope you guys get it back, but I'm guessing whoever stole it will try and sell it somewhere far, far away.

It was stolen during opening hours ?

fat bloke

Sure look. Ferrari put their name on a plastic keyring and all of a sudden it's worth 35 quid:rolleyes:

Still. Hard luck OP, that's a kick in the nads. Only plus is that there probably isn't a more distinctive bike in Ireland.

GTDolanator

was this the only bike stolen in the break in?

Seen it in the shop alright. Very hard to miss, will keep an eye out.

As with other posts about stolen bikes, question of where/how/ etc usually posed. How was the bike stolen and how did it take so long to spot a €9k bike missing from the shop floor ? - Or maybe I am just being too curious.

Hopefully the bike will be too difficult to dispose of, but it may have already left the country in the back of a truck

kenmc

How was it locked, and to what?

Holyboy

Im offered bikes pretty much every day, I always give a flat 'i dont buy bikes for cash' answer but im going to give a maybe answer in the next few days as they always come in without the bike first, just in case it happens to come my way, you never know!

The Colnago was returned to the shop today safe and sound! thanks for all the help publicizing it.

Yet another one. Poorly locked underground parking; bad idea. Note: the actual colors are blue and grey.

Cabra Garda was extremely nice and helpful BTW

ktwcustard

Stolen - Outside Bluebell Post Office dublin 12 at about 6.20pm on Friday the 14th of October. It was locked to a railing.

I was in the pharmacy waiting for medication to be dispenced I think I was there for at most 5 minutes.

I'd like my bike back but failing that I might be happy with the head of the arsehole who nicked it on a plate.

Please let me know if any one has any information regarding its were abouts.

Thanks

Frame number: abcdefg

I could be wrong, but isn't it a bad idea advertising the frame number? Wouldn't this be your 'proof of ownership' if it's recovered by the Gardaí?

ktwcustard

Hey I wouldn't have thought so since I have already reported it with the frame number under my name and I have the reciept for it. but I've removed it just in case - Cheers

A good idea to make sure the shop have a record linking your name to the frame number, just to get that added bit of assurance.

I was told by the lbs I got mine from that serial numbers are irrelevant as the bikes are produced from a batch and will all have the same serial batch number.

My advice was so that if it came down to an argument with the scummer in front of the Gardai, you could suggest that the Garda talk to your bike shop, they will give you the frame number and confirm I bought this bike with that number, I imagine the scummer would be hard pressed to name the bike shop he "bought" it in let alone provide paperwork and a witness off the top of his head.

In my experience of the Gardai there is never a need to win a debating competition with a scummer. Guards have a bullshít sense finely honed by years of experience.

And generally your right, but you have some scummers with a surprising way with words, it doesn't do any harm either way, I'm sure there are scummers out there who aren't immediately recognisable (look at the state of the country) until its identified what they have done wrong.

More of a back up, no harm if you see your bike locked up, you can reclaim it by some means, and give proof of ownership if requested by the Gardai. Just a back up, never any harm.

Sounds like an inside job (prank)

The Duke of Moral Hazard

My Cube SL Cross Pro bike was robbed from my work place recently on Serpintine rd, 03/11/11. I arrived in work at 8:30 and when left the office the lock had been cut. The bike was not in plain sight, so I have the feeling that somebody must have caught sight of me commuting and cased the premises.

I'm totally stuck for getting to work without it because Dublin bus are a joke for getting anywhere around the city bar the city centre.

If anybody has any info there's a reward for the bikes recovery.

Picture below:



The bike has had race-blade mud guards and a back carrier added since this photo was taken.

Thanks.
