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!

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
