Came back from a day out to find that my bike has been stolen from the train station. Fcensoredkers didn't even leave the lock there, so I can't even claim anything off of the lock manufacturers (who guarantee the bike as long as you give them the broken lock). £500 quid gone, plus £90 quid in lock and parts for the bike, every penny my own money. Just beginning to really enjoy the bike aswell. s.

If you see a Fuji Tahoe appear for sale, please give me a shout. It has some unique stuff on it, I'll be able to tell if it's mine. Picture below. furious

Sorry to hear about this. Are you insured? Sincerely hope so.

What lock did you use?

Bad times. Sorry for your loss.

It's got to the point where you may as well just buy a £20 second hand BSO for station duties. Buggers would probably nick that too, but at least it's not such a bitter pill to swallow.

It was was an armored cable lock. Decent area, never had any problems there before, hence I didn't insurance was necessary - I only leave the bike at the station maybe once a month, the rest of the time I'm always on it. Thieving bds. Only my own fault for being so naive.

Unlucky, I feel for you. I've had a bike stolen, it's horrible thinking about some out riding on your P&J frown Silver lining though, our home insurance covers the contents if they're out with the house (even 270 miles away in Nottingham!) so I got a new bike and even made some money because the replacement was half price smile

Had my commuter bike pinched from a station this week, luckily insured, 50 excess. There is cctv in the area but it had been there 36 hrs, any chance of spotting the culpret? I guess i should claim or do i wait a bit in case it is found?

Hope you get this back.

A mate had a whyte stolen from his garage a few years ago and that ended up on ebay, the police did get involved but sadly the bike was not at the sellers house and he claimed he was selling on behalf of his sons friend. he didn't get the bike back but luckily the insurance covered it and he got a lovely new kona coilair.

Keep an eye out on here http://bikeshd.co.uk/
It collects all bike adverts from e-bay, gumtree etc to one place so if you spot your bike you can inform the police

My friend came back from holiday in Australia to find £10,000 poundsworth of bikes missing and we spotted one on there, Police got them all back with the exception of a few pedals & lights missing smile

Given that the advert says collection from Bromley, and the OP is in Kent, it seems there is some hope smile

Hope you get it back mate and that the thieving scumbags get dealt with properly and don't wriggle out of it!

I really hope the thieving scums are stupid enough to advertise it on eBay immediately especially in your location. Fingers crossed you get it back and they're dealt with.
