They don't... they have zero interest in the stolen goods listed on site and will just tell you to contact the Gardai

Not zero interest, adverts are very proactive in this area and will cooperate with AGS in every way possible, however there is a procedure to be followed in order to make it 'legal' and create a forensic evidence trail that will stand up in court.

There are many such request about stolen goods every day, the only way to deal with them is to get AGS to make a section 8 request for the sellers IP address, internet provider, address, mobile phone number and activity history.

Spate of robberies in my estate this past month. Some fairly expensive bikes taken. They came back last week and a guy heard them breaking into his shed. He chased them and called the garda. They hopped a wall into grounds that had security. They got chased there and hopped back into our estate and got lifted by the garda!!
Young lads about 17 or 18 in the middle of the night.

Or just tell Google photos to auto upload every pic you take and never have to worry about backing up pics again.

Careful there, if you take a photo of a receipt or other document google knows this and in it's wisdom likes to put these ones in an archive. So if can't find your receipt check the archive.

It asks you first if you want to archive things like receipts, well my Google does anyway. Might be a setting in there to either automatically do it or prompt for it.

Yes, never worry about backup - just start worrying about what Google does or will use them for instead.

Is there any GPS tracker kit that can be hidden on the bike, to help locate a bike of stolen?

STOLEN SATURDAY 24TH NOVEMBER AT 5.25PM FROM OUTSIDE LITTLE NIPPERS HAIRDRESSERS, STILLORGAN. Absolute f**kers. My 10 year only son and I were in getting the hair cut and they lifted it. It's distinctive looking, not many around. It was not locked, mistake made and lesson learned.

Reported to the Guards on Sunday morning. To be fair they called me this morning and told me that are going to follow up with review of CCTV in the area.

Take a drive round the area that'll be dumped somewhere once the novelty wears off.

Unusual bike found

stolenCubeBike · 07-02-2019 07:53AM

Hi all, woke up to leave for work at 5:40am only to find my bike stolen. They cut through the rail to which the bike was locked. I'm quite upset about this as this is the only way I can get to work for a 6am start(no buses before 6).

Just wondering if anyone knows what I can do to find the bike.

Bike: cube-sl-road-blacknblue-2018
Stolen from: The Island Block Block G Chapelizod, underground parking

Many thanks!

RossieMan · 07-02-2019 08:06AM

Nothing. report to guards, keep looking on done deal/social media to see does it appear for sale.

Not a good start to your day. Does the carpark have CCTV?

Trekker09 · 07-02-2019 08:09AM

Keep an eye on Donedeal and Adverts.ie. AS already mentioned, report it.

secman · 07-02-2019 08:28AM

Sorry to hear OP, but underground car parks are notorious for bikes being stolen, hopefully you get some luck checking done deal and adverts. But keep your bike in the apartment, a colleague in work had a bike stolen in his under ground car park the second night after he bought the bike, had 3 locks on the bike. The replacement bike is now kept in the apartment.

stolenCubeBike · 07-02-2019 09:07AM

I haven't been to the Guards yet as I had to get to work. Will do so as soon as I am out. I'll keep an eye out on Adverts and DoneDeal. Will check with security if they have footage - I need closure ... or my bike back

italodisco · 07-02-2019 10:14AM

Check CCTV, report to gardai etc..

The truth is though, the majority of these thieves are not locals.

A guy who went to school with me, who grew up to be an absolute scumbag approached me a year ago offering to get me a top class bike, said they rob them over the Southside and Kildare etc.

My Trek 8.4 DS 2016 was stolen from the underground car park of my apartment block ( located off the Grace Park Road , Drumcondra) between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning.
Not sure what the point is of posting this but maybe someone will come across it for sale

I assume you have a bike cage at your apartment. Any details on how they got in?

Probably just waited until someone was going out to open the gate. I subsequently discovered there is a locked room that i can get a key for.. but they could brake in there too I’m sure. I had it locked to a steel pole in view of a camera ( 2 kryptonite locks). Will see what the cctv turns up

If you have a photo, stick it up, even if it's just a photo of the stock model
You can also put up on

That's really the main benefit as I see it. More eyeballs.
Also the chance somebody will see it abandoned somewhere, probably more likely for opportunistic thefts though.
I'm also in Drumcondra, will keep an eye out.
