If these thieving scum ever got caught they would probably only get a slap on the wrist. You've lost a few hundred pounds worth of bikes that they probably sold for 50 pounds for all of them so who gets punished you or them.

Government and courts need to come down harder on thieves and burglars we work hard and miss family time to earn and buy what we have.

In deed, bring back hanging, or maybe hang drawn and quartering. And that includes the people who buy them on Gumtree.


PS had too many bikes stolen, hate it, really personal. But don't feel the need to go knee jerk. Good luck, perhaps give a description, you never know they may be spotted. And check Gumtree, the thieves' first port of call.

How about not stealing other people?s property

Yes, that too. I offered it in teh spirit of solution finding. It need not detract from your experience, unless you want it to. It is bad that someone has stolen your bikes but to think that my offer of a suggestion on a public forum should somehow reduce your experience is not a logical conclusion.

Not really sure what this thread is about. If you want sympathy you've got it. If you want to let off some steam you have done. If you want advice we've given it. It would be helpful to you if you said some more about the theft so

(a) we could watch out for these bikes

(b) be more prepared so we don't get ours nicked (I've had four stolen, over a fairly long time, all under different circumstances)

Do you have More details on them - Make and Model of the bikes , more details

bike theft has always been an issue.


it's sensible to expect it. I'd add it to your household insurance. If you have a lockable garage, the premiums shouldn't go up massively.


Motorbikes for example are chopped up so quickly and sold as parts that the police don't even look for them.

    • Poor dog….how bloody stupid of owners who clearly have zero recall of their dog. Not good recall, don’t  let your dog off  the lead or have it on a long line. Why did you not hop over fence and get into water to try and rescue dog? Dies in cold water. Totally disgusted but then not surprised by people … No different from people walking their dogs on cliff paths when know might fall off…an  advised to keep on the lead.. do they pay attention….No… what is wrong with people? Don’t they have any common sense? And why wait for fire department? Not exactly strong currents like sea… RIP woofer… no sympathy for owners whatsoever…

    • Andy came recommended by another Tradesman who also did a job for us.  And I am so happy for the recommendation.    Andy is very knowledgeable and professional in his approach to work. The cost of the job was very reasonable. He’s installed temporary ceiling coverage following a leak until the ceiling can be repaired.   Highly recommend Andy and will be using again in very near future! 👍   Thanks Andy!  Andy 07564 194 363.  
    • Another recommendation for Greg. Echoing pretty much everything everyone else has said. Friendly communication, good work, and clear pricing. Will be sure to use him again for any future plumbing needs! Thanks Greg!
