Sorry to hear that. I know its too late for you but in order to help other people could you tell us.

What kind of lock or locks you were using.
How bike was locked
What it was locked to
Busy or quiet area.
How you think it was cut/broken

It would be so easy for the law/Gardai to set up a sting operation to stop (or at least cut down) bicycle theft. No momentum there though.

There lack of action makes me wonder why we do not see more incidents like this

Teenage boy in bicycle theft gang bundled into van and has leg broken by vigilantes

If your bike is stolen the day after getting it on the cycle to work scheme you have to wait the 5 years for to avail of it again. They are supposedly trying to encourage people to cycle yet doing nothing about 1 of the biggest issues related to it. I will not cycle into dublin city centre simply as it is not safe to lock my bike. I would gladly pay for a secure & insured lockup service, I do not expect it free.

The Guards have come in for a lot of flak recently, much (although not all) of it their own making, but it's unfair to suggest they won't act on this as it's untrue. I know of countless occasions where they have acted upon request, many heralded on the cycling forum here.

Firstly did the OP contact them and ask for assistance and, if so, was that request not acceded to?

Does anybody know who they are we should name and shame them

Unfortunately for the Gardai they can arrest people but the justice system puts them back out on the streets. There’s lads out there with over 100 convictions, bike theft won’t keep them locked up
