jimwire Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Last night my friends garage was broken into. They smashed his car window to move it out the way and cut through 2 locks to take our bikes. Anyone in the Derby area please keep a look out for an 08 Kona Stinky (black and white), an 08 Giant Glory with fox forks and K swiss wheels, a Specialized Enduro (blue and yellow) and an 08 Specialized hardtail (silver). Reward offered for information on them. Gutted. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No insurance either. We will sort it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can't believe someone would go through the trouble of breaking in to steal a bicycle. Presumeably they were worth a bit. Sorry to hear that. V.evil people out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.evil people out there. Yes went to quite a bit of trouble. Shame no one heard them. Bikes are worth about 4k in total but guess they will be sold for about £200 each by these scum.

jimwire Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 update in case anyone is interested. Found my Enduro hidden nearby so guess they could not carry them all. Pity it's the oldest one worth least money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 That's a shame - why didn't they just ride it instead of carrying it. Anyway, very happy for you. Guess they were not very bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimwire Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Turns out they removed the rear brake pads so the wheel would go on. We waited for them to come back the next night for it but no joy. Stolen Kona Stinky frame no H8BM09820. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
