Considering there are so many bikes around UCD you would imagine they could train some cameras to target the bike thieves.
Maybe go and ask at the services desk (lower ground floor Ag bldg) about renting one of the bike lockers near the sports centre.
Sorry again they took your bike.

Thanks, it was actually the rack outside the services desk that it was taken from. Thought that would be the safest spot.

How about this as a nasty surprise for bike thieves! I think you may need facebook to view this video.

Hi gang,

Just had my baby stolen from bayside shops last Thursday evening

Would anyone take a guess where a bike stolen in bayside would end up ?

It's a mountain bike with tigerstriped paint job so it's probably resprayed so I'm just asking people to look out for a mavic rim with a single speed cog and also a Raleigh 52t crank for sale on the usual sites in case any slip past me

is there any other leads I can follow ? I'm gonna check a few of the second hand bike shops around Dublin and go for a long coffee on Moore street

completely unrelated but where can a fellow purchase a Stanley blade ?

My bike, stolen from Bayside last year, was allegedly sold at Balbriggan market within a week, according to the Garda. I have photographic proof it was unaltered apart from a change in saddle (so respray is completely out).

Have you got a serial number and photo to report to Howth Garda station?

del88 · 24-02-2016 11:17PM

A few bike the guards recovered..

Well, between the raid in Limerick before Christmas, and this stop at Rosslare, there is no doubt that the highend stuff is leaving the country. Wonder if the new Gubberment will look into the ridiculous amounts of bike thefts now?

Yeah, just posted in the off topic forum as I thought it would get more views there.

My Specialized expedition was locked a a secure car park at Hanover Wharf and stolen last night. Thieves pushed open the security gate and cut through the lock.
The bike was black and silver with mudguards, mint condition.

Appreciate people keeping an eye out for it.

Stolen in Dublin city. Just like this but with a Black saddle. Note it does have the distinctive white trim on wheel rims and handle grips though.

If you have any info please PM me without mentioning anything publicly here - I have to imagine anyone making a habit of stealing people's bikes is copped on enough to read here regularly.

I had that same lock, the key broke in mine and I went down with a large hacksaw and it could not get a bite on it at all. I had a cable lock on it too which I wanted to save but had to resort to cutting the cable lock and carry the locked bike home for miles. Took a good minute to get through it with an angle grinder so I guess that is what these scumbags used too.

Quote from an house insurer arrived today and there's a specific clause saying that for pedal cycles there's no cover for loss or damage in Dublin city or County.

Try 123.ie - they definitely provide cover

ThisRegard · 21-03-2016 11:11PM

The quote was with An Post, we're not going with them for other reasons but that's a clause I haven't noticed before with other policies. Can only be due to the large number of thefts within the city and the likelihood if you own one, it will be stolen at some point. I've had mine insured with Zurich as a specified risk up until now.

Could also be due to college students. When I was in colege my parents house insurance covered my laptop and bike when away from home, and they clarified this extended to when I was at college.

Maybe a possibility, or maybe the theft rates in Dublin are just to high in dublin.

Hi. It's a long shot but my bike was stolen opposite Citywest Shopping Centre this evening between 6:30 and 7pm. The lock was left behind and appeared to have been cut with a bolt cutter.

The bike is a Eurotrek Amazon bike. I don't have a photo of the bike itself but it's the same model as in the link below http://www.adverts.ie/bikes/gents-eurotrek-amazon-mountain-bike/2987734.

If anyone has spotted it please send a PM. Many thanks

Stopped a guy a few days ago from stealing a bike belonging to a guy I work with. It was a ****ty lock attached to a railing, there was a truck blocking him from being seen, but luckily the truck pulled away just on time for me to see him put his hands on the bike. One tug on the handlebars and the lock went flying.

I was only about 10 foot away at the time so raced over and pushed him away from it. Despite shouting at him with a lot of vocabulary I didn't even know I had and taking pictures and videos of him he kept trying to come back for the bike. He even tried telling me it was his bike that was stolen a few days ago. So I gave in and called the Gardai and he walked off immediately. Still waiting on the gardai despite telling them that I had video footage of the thief and the attempted theft.

This is the second attempt in a month at stealing a bike where I work, just off Camden Street, Dublin 2. 2 different bike thieves. So if you are locking your bike in the area please use a good lock.

I showed the photos I took to the guy who owned the bike and he has seen him around a bit lately. I know I can't post pictures, unsure of being allowed post a description of my bike thief so unless a mod says I can then I wont.
