Sorry to hear. It might be with posting here as well. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056226324
A few bikes have been reunited with their owners through this.

Sorry to hear that peter, will certainly keep an eye out west Dublin for you. Worth also alerting some of the bike shops as the scrotes often look to chop parts and frames. Get it onto the stolen bike register as well, if you have frame numbers or coded markings it will help.

I don't know if TI have any way to assist when member's expensive tri gear goes missing? No harm in emailing one of the admins I guess - these bikes won't be sold on to ordinary joes after all.

Ceepo

Sorry to hear that Peter, will share it also

the issue here seems to be a bit its an absolute bike theft hotspot yet the police knows the cameras outside the pool are not worth nothing
and nothing is being done.
Now I am not crying that somebody stole my bike as i made a concious choice to not be influenced by thieves as overall cycling will always be cheaper than owing a car , but its a fact its a hot spot of bike theft and neither the swan centre or the police try to at least put a proper camera out there so they can see what happens.

Not to diminish your lost Peter, but I would say it's to do with liability.

Put cameras up, monitor an area and people get lazy 'I'll be a sec' don't lock bike and then when bike goes blame the camera or owners etc.

It's why bike park stations are few and far between. If I put a bike park outside my shop people would expect me to be responsible for any theft, loss etc. You see it in public car parks, provide parking space, car gets damaged, owner gets sued.

Unfortunately the society we live in.

hm i am not sure if i aggre with what you say.
in the first place there is a camera (its just no good and if your argument was right than at least take the camera down...)
Overall its a bit like drafting if the thieves know nothing happens than they are more likely to steal . if they know they would actually do something risky they are less likely to steal.
and lets not forget i was using a 60 euro plus lock so while not that hard to break its not a cable cutter job.
From what I see there is a good chance this is a serial thief
as i have seen a few locks broken in the same way.

i guess the thief is using a pattern ie breaking locks in the darkness ( ie currently likely from 6- 9 pm )
so i guess if i was to spend a few evennings there and given the fact there is more than 1 bike stolen from this place every week there should be a good chance i find that person. follow that person to their home and then try to see if the guards would do something.
but again if i could say i followed that person you can see on the video stealing a bike i would have a much better case.

I think AKW misread your other posts. I think he thought that there was NOT a camera there already.

Get a nice bike, lock it outside, wait for someone to try and rob it. Lose control of your pet brick..........

tunney

Also while the bike thief is a low-life, cvnt, etc etc etc I suspect they are experienced and have at this stage learnt to cover their face while committing crime. Who is to say that the camera footage has not been reviewed and the person could not be identified.

Yep I did, I read it as camera not there. As Tunney says, could be out, covered face etc.

I like the idea of planting a bike and staking the place out.

We did that in work a couple of times. Locked bike (Trek 1.2) with a cheap lock, placed GPS tracker on bike, tracked it back to scrotes house after it was robbed, Gardai recovered bike and dealt with scrote.

Did you check with any of the bike shops nearby to see if they have had anybody in to try and sell it? there is a bike shop down the road from the pool and also one on the Harolds Cross road just down from the Hospice entrance.

tunney

Not a told you so or anything. But if you would miss your bike it needs to be locked with something like this lock

vigos

Thats a serious lock, weighs 3 kilos for that version you linked but worth it if it gives you piece of mind

In no way is it a setup. Bike was locked and he choose to break the lock and steal it. Gardai were involved from the start as far as I know and went to his house to recover the bike - we were able to pinpoint it to the shed in his back garden. Don't know if it ever went to court.

On a related note I was surprised at how small the gps trackers were. The one here was disguised as a small rear working light.

Surprised the guards did something about it I know of someone who had a lot of camera gear taken from a studio including macs which were tracked using iCloud to a house and guards said they couldn't do a thing. Said door later got a ring from a crowd of a dozen or so people and all gear was swiftly returned.

I know the spot in Rathmines well it's a perfect place for bike thieves to ply their trade.

Has anyone ever seen an internally mounted GPS tracker for bikes? Like one that is found in high end cars.
