Stolen from son on the street- Carrera Valour Men's Mountain Bike (and left with a used road bike)


Recommended Posts

My son's bike was stolen this evening. At 8:30pm, he was on his way home from a short cycle round the neighbourhood. An older boy - about 16 on another bike stopped him and asked him if he could ride it. My son said no repeatedly - about 10 times. Then the boy said, well I will leave my bike for you here so you know I won't ride off with yours. My son gave in reluctantly (he now knows he should have just rode off as quickly as possible but in the moment he didn't know what else to do)- the boy then circled round on the street a few times and then speed off round the corner. Son waited a few minutes and then realised boy was not coming back. He came back to ours with the boys bike which looked well used.


I've reported this to the police - tried to ring 101 but totally not able to get through so I used the report page on the website as suggested. My concern is also that the bike we have been left with might have also been stolen - although isn't! I have reported the bike details to the police so that if it was stolen it can be returned to it's rightful owner.

I wonder if the perp was also involved in this theft on Friday: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?31,1842890. They share the same 'replacement' meme. I assume the "well used" one that was left was also of lower quality.


You could also report the stolen one at https://stolen-bikes.co.uk/stolen-bikes/. There's also a Check That Bike section, in which you could check the frame number of the one that was left if that hasn't already been done.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
