Did anyone see anyone pushing a big black motorbike at the Northcross Road end of Archdale Road this evening between 8.30 and 11pm?


Or maybe loading it into a van?


Maybe you have a description of someone or a vehicle?


Some magnificent example of humanity has stolen my motorcyle from outside my house on Archdale.


It was a Kawasaki Z1000sx in black. A week and a half old.


Please do get in touch if you saw anything.


Thanks.

Thanks lilolil.


Nobody followed me home I'm sure.


But I reckon it was probably spotted since the Saturday before last that I brought it home. Busy old road Archdale, what with the market etc. Probably had a few bikes to look out for and were patrolling the area looking out for when they were home.


Honestly I've felt like I've had a target painted on my back since I got it.


Guess that's the way this country makes you feel these days.

Hi Owen,


commiserations about your bike. We've been through the same thing several times, most recently in May when MrS's much loved BMW strada was taken overnight from our front garden.


They are absolutely professional. They come ready prepared. In our case cutting the wire to our security light, cutting through the chain that locked it up and lifting the bike out through our gate (taking my husbands Ridgeback cycle that was behind our locked side gate for good measure).


The particularly sickening thing is that the same thing happened to our neighbour up the road less than a week earlier. We thought we were OK because our bike was hidden behind our hedge & well locked, but as you say they 'target' certain bikes - it almost feels like nothing can stop them, if they want your bike they'll take it.


We now have a ground anchor and a stronger chain, plus several alarms but really in my heart of hearts I'm not sure it's enough. Is anything?


Another sickening thing is that the police are just completely uninterested. There's so clearly a gang working the area, and yet they seem to be doing nothing at all and these criminals know that so they're free to take what they like without any consequence to them - only us poor suckers who are left to deal with the fall out. You have my sympathies, you really do.

Have you noticed that the robberies have... have they? I think they have stopped. The police caught one man and they've stopped. I think with as much information as you can provide and as much insight as you can give, possibly the police will catch this gang as well. Your comments here are read by the good guys. It's amazing the amount of damage a few people can cause everyone else.

Hi Owen,


We had our Honda CBF 250 nicked a couple of months ago.However we did find it again at the other side of Peckham Rye, had been hot wired and joy ridden. We had forgotten to lock ours to ususal lamp post. Might be worth a look around the area just in case. However a bike as big as yours would suggest a professional job.... such a pain!

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
