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’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!  😞
