STOLEN BIKES - SWINDON
Discussion
Hi
Had our garage broken into last night,and the B******* got away with 3 good quality full suspension bikes, pictures attached, if anyone see's any of them, if you could drop me a line so I can get the police involved, it would be appreciated.
Orange Alpine Five 29er in Silver - Bought direct from Orange 2 month ago, a 2014 ex-demo bike.
Canyon Nerve 8.0 in Red - Quite distinctive, as I believe most Canyons are black?
Giant Reign 1 in Bronze - Again, quite distinctive, as I have never seen another Bronze one, was never keen on the colour, it was just the right price at the time.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
John

rubbish news, keep an eye out on pinkbike, gumtree etc, also they will probably swop a few bits over from bike to bike to try and hide the original spec, I have tweeted @stolenbikesbris ref the bikes and its gone out to their 1219 followers in Bristol area as they may well come to Bristol, have you got the frame numbers?, also worth remembering that high end forks have their own serial number on the crown.
I love twitter for stuff like this, cyclists are generally good eggs and know how much the bikes mean to the owner so they are happy to spread the word, frame numbers would be good though. its worth trying www.MBSwindon.co.uk to see if anyone in the club is offered a bike in the coming weeks...
Hi
Thanks for the responses, really would like the police to catch the sods who took the bikes, as I would be a lot more reassured that it won't happen again. Just feel at the moment that if I replace the bikes without knowing who took them, if the sods are local, and I believe they are, this was a targeted robbery, they knew what they wanted, they will no doubt see us all out on the new bikes and have a go at taking them as well. As a mate says, if I don't replace them, I suffer by not doing a sport I love, resulting in them winning.
I am already planning increased security in the garage, a separate alarm for the garage from the house which will be armed all the time, an additional alarm for the bikes armed all the time, and some kind of steel cage / barrier to make removal as impossible as I can. In addition possibly cameras.
I have e mailed Swindon MTB, but as yet haven't had a reply.
The component numbers of the Orange Five are as follows
The front frame number is 1303097
The rear frame number is 1305159
The fork serial number is 450281-0018
The serial number of the Canyon is M13L1B10M2434
Hoping posing like this will help catch the sods.
Thanks again for the replies.

ds!I'm on the North side too and will keep an eye out. Seems a lot of cycle robberies around SN over the last year or so, makes you wonder if it is targeted like you say.
My neighbours were turned over big-style earlier this year - c.30k's worth of some seriously tidy road bikes gone! No-one heard a thing, they chiseled out the door frame and were in & away - 5 bikes & some radio controlled kit car stuff. My Stevens carbon MTB lives upstairs on the landing & my motorcycles are locked down with a B.F.O Almax / ground anchor combo.
Scrotes - I really hope you get the bikes recovered.

Spent the weekend putting internal bars on the window, bars / secondary door to the rear pedestrian door where the b******* got in, plus a dedicated garage alarm system than can be armed all the time we are in the house.
Hoping to hear positive things from the insurance company this week, so don't want to take any chances if they come back a second time after the bikes have been replaced!
