Last night my blue Suzuki DRZ400s was stolen from outside my home on Rosendale Road. She was attached with a chunky chain to a strong wall anchor but bolt cutters were used. She has massive sentimental value to me as last year I took 12m to ride her solo from London to Capetown on a charity trip and she never let me down. Please keep your eyes out for her. Reg no: RO56 ENF. The police have been informed. Photos attached - please take a look, she is a very distinctive looking bike, only difference to this photo is her seat is now black leather not sheepskin.

Can I also recommend that anyone else with a motorcycle gets a tracker fitted - I didn't have one and would have made it much easier to find her now if I had.

Many thanks

The sighting of the bike on Saturday was around 4.30pm, sadly there is no street CCTV and no local shops have CCTV (ironically the estate agent there used to have it but it was stolen!). I asked at the pub and a few of the punters corroborated that an adventure style bike had been there, just now trying to get hold of the barbers themselves to find out what they know (bike was parked right outside their shop so may have been a customer).

As for the theft itself, no CCTV at all on my street or shops, no residents heard anything...

Morning, sadly no news and having spoken to the barbershop owner on Barry Road, it sounds very much like the sighting on Saturday morning probably wasn't my bike after all (Apparently it had NZ numberplates, solid box luggage which my bike didn't have any of the brackets etc for and knobbly tyres...none of which my bike had last time I saw it and doubt those would be the changes a thief would make). Please do keep your eyes out though as she may well still be somewhere!

Thank you for your support and good wishes, makes this horrible situation feel slightly less awful :-)

PS on a more positive note, the Evening Standard are interested in writing a story about whats happened so if that happens, that'd really help spread the word and get the message out there. Fingers crossed! I need all the help I can get now I've had the official letter from the Police that the "case is closed" due to lack of evidence, CCTV coverage or any other leads...

So sorry to hear this :( ! On the lookout for your bike! I saw a similar one in tulse hill on the weekend & took a photo of the plate to check when I got home but it was a different number to yours. Unless you think they might have changed it?


Best,

Hello, thanks so much for the email - very sadly that doesn't look like her as this bike has indicators (mine have long since broken off!) and a rear rack that doesn't look familiar, so pretty certain it can't be her. Thank you so much for looking out though, I really appreciate it! :-)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
