Talking to the bouncer of the woolshed after and it seems its a really bad place to leave bikes. He sees bikes stolen every day. But to the unsuspecting cinema goer it looked safe. Lots of bikes there and people outside it all the time. I have ordered the best lock I could with my new bike.

The krypotonite or Abus U-locks are popular.

A little tool which may come in handy if you're trying to keep an eye on classifieds sites:
http://www.google.com/alerts
Basically this is an automated web search which alerts you when there are new results for a given set of keywords. You can set up multiple alerts and have them all compiled into a feed (rather than an email for each alert), so on a daily basis or every couple of hours you can check the feed to see if there are any new results. Saves you having to do 20 google searches every day.
Also, since the alerts are compiled in chronological order, you don't have to trawl through ads which were posted six months ago.
To target a search at a particular site, just put "site:domain.com" in the search. So, if you created an alert with the keywords:
scott bike site:adverts.ie
The alert will tell you every time there's a new result containing the words "scott bike" on adverts.ie. This will let you focus the alerts so that you're not getting random blog posts by Scott from New York talking about how much he loves his bike.
Hope this helps someone track down their bike

My club mate Rosie's bike was stolen last Friday outside her workplace beside the card club on Fitzwilliam St just off Fitzwilliam Sq.
Here's a picture of the bike, it's a Claude Butler Dalesman:
Hers was slightly different colour, a very light greenish-blue.
And the lock
we reckon it's a sz 52.
Please contact me if you see it. Thanks0 -

My silver Trek 7.2FX hybrid was stolen from Scoil Uí Chonaill GAA club in Clontarf this evening.
It looks more or less like this one but a good bit dirtier - it's more silver than grey too. It has a tortec silver rear rack and had an Altura blue and silver pannier on when it was stolen (and the pannier had a nice Kryptonite mini-evo lock in it - FFS!). The rear tyre is a new semi-slick bontrager hard case and it has black BBB pedals rather than the stock silver ones. There's a bracket for a child seat on the seat tube. No pie plate or wheel reflectors.
In the highly unlikely event that anyone comes across this for sale, you might let me know.0 -

Focus Arriba 2008 (Black) stolen from my home in County Louth. Unique features would be bar ends and FSA rims as these were fitted after purchase.
Would love to get it back as it has huge sentimental value. Used this bike to cycle from Ireland to Istanbul this year.

Hi all.
Had my cannondale bad boy stolen from bike shed outside my home in clontarf this week. Was chained to a wooden girder inside the shed, feckers broke in and cut through the girder to rob the bike.
Its matte black, disk brakes both wheels and a single headshok suspension on front.
Some more info kindly supplied by bikedude, a previous owner (thanks!)..
"Some more technical information on the components so it's easier to identify the bike.
Hope Breaks ( 203 Front / 160 Back)
It’s unusual to see the front break on this ones with 203 in front as is the Hope Breaks.
Headshock Suspension
Continental Tires
The Cannondale Sticks are Black but reflect on light.
And the sticks on the seat stays (Handmade in USA)
Truvativ Crank set (Firex)
Scram X7 Shifters and Rear Gears.
Deore on Front."
And a pic..
Any info is much appreciated,
Thanks.0 -
Dirty ba$tards robbed this at some stage today from the Kilmacud Luas. Damn those battery powered angle grinders from Lidl.
Anyways, I'll be with the Garda soon and maybe there is some cctv from the Luas, but if people here could help keep an eye out for it, I might get lucky.
Damn great bike, karma built it for me. There is some happy thief out there now, wow I want to ruin his day.
Walking is so damn s l o o o o w, how do people put up with it?!0 -

How did I forget to post this here.
Old unreliable was stolen a few weeks ago, her replacement is in the hands of Parcelforce right now but I'd still love to recover her(slim odds I know). Have to say I was pleasantly surprised how much effort An Garda Siochana appeared to make, I thought I'd report it and hear nothing after that, but they did try to track it down.
Stolen from Aaron Quay, old Holdsworth frame that I've messed about with. Friend thinks he spotted it around so maybe its still out there. If people could keep eyes peeled I'd be much obliged.

A limited edition Colnago Ferrari C2F mountain bike was stolen from Cyclelogical in Dublin sometime between 1pm saturday 15/10/11 and 11.30am Monday 17/10/11, don't open on Sundays. The bike is very unique as there were very few of them made and i would be fairly positive its the only one in the country. Its nearing 10 years old at this stage but had mainly XTR M950 on it with the last series of four piston XT brakes. Below is an exact picture of the bike with the correct spec. The full retail price on this bike is €9000 so if you guys could keep an eye out on the street and online it would be much appreciated. If you have any info please contact the shop on 01 - 8724678 or store street garda station on 01 - 666 8000.
