Stolen Bikes

.Henry Sellers.

Hello to everyone on the Waterford forum,been lurking boards from the shadows for years now, finally got round to posting and it's bad news:mad:

Just wanted to put the word out that two bikes were stolen in the Kilcohan area yesterday evening sometime,they where taken from a locked shed.You never know coming up to Christmas some scumbag might be offering these bikes for cheap and if I can make enough people aware of them it might make them harder to sell or possibility getting them back, the likelihood is they're probably half way to Mexico by now.

The first is a women's mountain bike, It's a Specialized Hardrock with the name Specialized on both tires,has a bottle holder,this bike is practically brand new.Looks the same as in the picture except it is Sparkly Red in colour.



The second is a Bianchi black and white racing bike,the bike is a older version of the one in the pic.The frame has a bottle holder too and the peddles will clip into racing shoes.




I was going to put this in the robberies thread but thought I might get more views this way,if the mods feel the need to move it no problem.

The Guards have been notified too,If anyone hears of anything going for sale or been offered a bike on the cheap with this description to let the Guards know or even drop me a P.m,cheers and thanks to everyone for reading

My bike has been stolen from Locked shed too, went in the last couple of weeks (haven't used it in a couple of weeks and only needed a screwdriver on Saturday), crowbar or something similar remove the whole lock form the door.
TREK 4900 cost €1100 3 years ago, i'm so sick!!!
Gards arrived and told me it was the second bike taken in a week from the same estate.

They are on the lookout for them - They pulled up outside Ursuline court to 2 lads and confiscated the bikes they had on Friday night thinking they were the first 2 on the thread here.
@Henry Sellers As I knew the guards I brought up the thread on the phone to them and showed them the ones you were missing but it wasnt them.
Il keep the ears and eyes open though

Fair play to you

Sorry to hear about your bike Daithi1974,hopefully you will get it back. It would be worth even telling any bike shops near you to keep an eye out for it. @Elbows22 Thank you so much for going out of your way like that,I owe you one, very much appreciated .

Just looking at bikes for sale in Waterford on donedeal.
One mtn bike ad does not give the make of bike, the entire bike looks to have been sprayed black, and states "This bike is in a very good technical condition. Suspension feels like in a luxury car, very smooth. Definately worth the price "
Not really the words of a biking enthusiast!

Cheers Buddy had a look not mine, but painted black so defo not legit!!! god damn those fools.
I contacted Bike shop in Dungarvan and two fools went in to sell him stolen bikes, these people are just tramps!!!

Gumtree is another major site for passing on stolen bikes.
Often the seller won't stick up a picture of the actual bike, but of a similar one from the internet. If the price is too good to be true....
