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!

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
