Great idea Huguenot - can you help by finding this bloke's address, or alternatively arrange a meeting point and we can all go round in a sort of 'Looking for Eric' way and reek revenge.


I've been PM'd by another person who had his bike nicked, and found 'the same one' being advertised on Gumtree by the same number. Hopefully plod will do something now.

As an appendix to Pearson's good points posted earlier, I would merely add that people should strongly consider getting a FOLDING BIKE.


These can be stored inside the smallest flat, and sit next to/under your desk at work.


Therefore no expensive locks needed.


Lots are available - Brompton's are expensive but favoured by many, but there are other cheaper makes with larger wheels.

I got a bike today. Sincerely I did not think it was stolen. When I got home I saw a crack on the frame and tried contacting the seller and could not reach him anymore. When that happened I googled his number and ended up here.


The guy selling it did not look bad or like he was on drugs or anything. I checked the serial number on the net before buying too and nothing came up. He said he also bought the bike on gumtree.


It came from the same phone number mentioned here so now I am suspecting it may have been a stolen bike.


It is a specialized Elite 2011. I am willing to return to the owner if he can provide me with the serial number of the bike.

mink turtle, glad to hear you got your bike back. But did you not call the police? By the sounds of it this crew weren't the brightest, and a quick call to the boys in blue could have seen them apprehended and stopped anyone else having their bikes stolen

Well done for getting your bike back!


It might have been worth calling the police. The lad stole your bike... surely a single punch in the face falls under the "reasonable force" bracket. People can't be expected to stand by while scumbags are blatantly thieving in broad daylight.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
