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.

    • Jon and his Team came over today to clear two gutters at front of the house.  Job completed professionally and quickly, very friendly and reasonable prices.  Will be using again in the future. Highly recommend.    Jon - 07908 953257 https://www.jonsmithscleaningservices.co.uk
    • In deed.   An hour is optimistic. I'd always use the train/tube, so many options from the slowish Picadilly, quick Heathrow Express and Lizzy line in the middle. In the old days I'd go out to Feltham via Clapham Junction and either get a cab from there or the bus to avoid central London Alternatively 3 hours by bus only Or a couple of hours by bike, I have cycled there a few times including illegally going through the tunnel as it is so bike unfriendly.
    • I think it's unfair to say anyone local enquiring, is the same rubbernecking.  The link you posted is for drivers, and those there, not involved, at an incident, and in particular people who photograph and video accidents.  This is not the same.  We all want to know what is happening in our area, particularly if it's about safety.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I hope the girl and the biker are okay.  
    • Saturday afternoons can be quite busy around London, especially on routes leading to Heathrow. Travel time really depends on where you’re coming from, but traffic on the M25 and surrounding roads can add delays. To avoid stress, many people find that booking a London Airport Taxi is the best option. Professional drivers monitor traffic in real time, choose the fastest routes, and allow extra time when needed, which is especially helpful on weekends. It’s a more reliable and comfortable way to get to Heathrow compared to driving yourself or relying on public transport. Hope that helps 👍
