Stolen - Cannondale Topstone 4

[Gibjab]

Hi all,

My bike was stolen from Railton road on Thursday 24 April between 11:52 and 13:05.

 I know it’s a long shot but if you see the following bike around please let me know. Unfortunately don’t have many photos but it looks like the attached pictures.

Thanks,

Gayath

Gumtree is often to go to place for bicycle thieves.

Thank you, I’ll take a look

So sorry to hear this, makes me so angry that some scumbag thinks they can just take someone's transport, freedom, enjoyment away, and there's so little chance of them being caught or punished adequately. 

If you haven't already, register it on BikeRegister and change the status to stolen, hopefully if any responsible person considers buying it then they'll check there first. 

Report it to the Police - very little chance they're able to do anything, but it's important for the stats, which may eventually provoke action by the gov?

Set up search alerts on Gumtree, eBay & Facebook Marketplace, but try to be as generic as possible - often they are listed as just "road bike" rather than the exact model. 

I've also printed out flyers and dropped off at local bike shops in case the bike is brought in for repairs, but not sure how worthwhile that was.

Hope this helps...

Hi mate, 

Yeah its very frustrating for sure.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve registered it and reported it to the police but they shut the case in a couple of hours, as you said not much they can do. 
 

I’ve been looking around on sale website but I feel like its more stress than its worth unfortunately.
