Keep an eye on adverts and donedeal. A good few are sold on through those sites. Others just for cash on the street.

Caught 2 lads with a stolen bike in front of Init Yoga in Ringsend Road, Dublin today at 4.20pm.
Not sure where they took it from but I brought it to SurfDock around the corner.
It's a dark red city bike (hybrid) with a basket on the front.

Little scumbags didn't even have the nerve to put up a fight!

Would you not have brought it to Irishtown or Pearse St Garda Stations? Did you report it?

my bike was stolen today from harcourt road (top of harcourt street) opposite the bagel factory. the security company has them on cctv and apparently a squad car saw them running off with it and they were arrested. i came out of work this evening with no bike there and was told this by the security guard. Gardai showed up and took my details, apparently the chance of gettin it back is 6%

It's down to luck. Also, the majority of people don't note their serial numbers so if we do find a generic bike how can we prove who owns it?

If the Gardai recover it, i can easily prove it was mine. ThinkBike in Rathmines take a picture of you with the bike when they sell it to you.

As an example, what makes one white trek FX different to another?

Well good question. But if someone comes looking for a white FX, and they have a picture of themselves with it, and can confirm when/where it was taken- i think your odds on at that point.

Sorry, I should have said for times when we recover bikes either abandoned or from a gow and they don't tell where it was stolen.

It's common for decent bikes to be recovered and them not reported or too many matches to find an owner.
