Hi folks,

Just prevented a bike theft on Conyngham Road, Dublin. Looked like they may have brought the bike from nearby. I have it safe now. Its a specialized, DM with details if its yours to arrange collection, will report to the guards now.

Kilmainham Gardaí arrested a man following a search operation which led to the discovery of a number of stolen bikes at a residence in the Dublin 8 area

A number of bikes are now back with their owners

Some are still to be reunited

Times - That’s a nice bike for sale — it’s like my stolen one

When Valerie Flynn’s bike was taken she kept an eye on Done Deal and Facebook, then got it back with help from gardai.
In April, the shed at our home in Dublin was broken into, and our two bikes were stolen. “Keep an eye on Done Deal,” advised the community garda

My 2015 Cube Travel Pro RF was stolen yesterday around 21:30 from the bike stand in front of Aldi in Royal Canal Park (Ashtown).

It was locked but it looks like I must have left the key in the lock, because I can't find it on me.

The bike had two red Altura panniers at the back. It has a Chainglider chain protector installed, but otherwise everything was stock:

I've filled in the Garda on line form, waiting for them to call me back...

interesting outcome on this thread; the up to date story starts 5 posts from the end (as of me posting this; it's the first post in the thread from 2021)

My bike, a Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7.0 2019 was stolen from Brookfield Hall, Castletroy, Limerick, after the thieves broke into the apartment block.

Found the bike on donedeal but the guards have been told that it's already sold.

The donedeal link is as follows: https://www.donedeal.ie/bicycles-for-sale/canyon-brand-new-racing-bike/29285890

The picture of the bike is here:

Guards are treating it as a break and entry, but I know chances of getting it back are slim

Have you tried making contact yourself or through a family member to see if they get the same story as to it being sold?

Tried that and they were claiming that they knew nothing about the bike and wasn't their ad 🤷‍♂️

iwillhtfu · 25-09-2021 06:17PM

Just sent a message there now to see if it's still available.

Some illiterate sod wrote the add anyway, might be worth a drive around some our native holiday homes.

Seth Brundle · 03-10-2021 04:54PM

Might I suggest that the angle grinder be used to cut his man-bits off...

so the gards know who stole it and sold it and couldnt be arsed doing their jobs. The person who bought it can also be done for possesion of stolen goods who would obviously have known looking at that ad for €150 that it was stolen.

magicbastarder · 04-10-2021 09:31AM

they 'know' who stole it in that they have a username from adverts and a reasonable belief that he no longer has the bike in his possession. there's not much they can do if they can't prove he stole it, i suspect.

Tombo2001 · 04-10-2021 09:38AM

Incidentally - how would you be able to say definitively the bike in the ad is yours - not questioning that it is, but what would be the unique identifier?

Tks.

Tombo2001 · 08-10-2021 08:42AM

usedbikes.ie

Interesting development.

Their tag line is 'some of the used goods website have a reputation for selling stolen bikes'.

Tell it like it is, fair play.

Jimbo789 · 08-10-2021 02:52PM

When I saw the Canyon bike on DoneDeal, I guessed it was stolen before I saw the price because of the illiteracy of the seller.
