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.

    • Yes. And now the old Dell is playing up again. Wouldn't shut down last night 😭  Clearly I am either very unlucky or something more sinister is going on 🀣🀣🀣
    • ". Which ever way you cut it, the world has become a much more scary and dangerous place.Β " This is true, but what I can't get my head around is the "why?" Where is the win for Trump/America/Voters Β with all of these moves?
    • As Vladi said in his post "The Fifth". Will Trump even complete his term in office before someone does away with him. At this rate the rest of the World hate him, the leaders of the nations have distain for him, maybe his aim is to divide up the world between the USA, Russia and China, with Europe no longer being an Allie of the US.Β  However the only reason Trump is behaving in the way he is, is to stop spending money on non US related issues and hence driving all the money back to the US. As he says he "wants to make America great again". Personally he scare the ebiegibies out of me. What's the odds we'll be at war by the end of 2025, or the three super powers will be at war. Which ever way you cut it, the world has become a much more scary and dangerous place.Β
