Hi,

Me and the missus have a Vespa each and have just discovered that someone has decided to steal both of our kickstart pedals. Has anyone else had the same thing happen and does anyone know what the point is as they are only worth a tenner?

Never had to kickstart mine before anyway so no great loss, it's all just a bit annoying.

cosmetically Pre damage them to make their theft less likely



you never see a cycle despatch rider on a sparkly new bike, even though the constituent parts are usually 4 figues in value

I keep getting my cover nicked, at least one a month. Not sure what is happening to them.


Mrs. Pierre's got an Oxford cover for hers, and it has two loopholes for the locks to go through. Not that they're particularly substantial, but maybe a bit of a deterrent.

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
