Bike stolen :(

iBSOD · 25 Mar 2017 at 01:11

So I ride my Boardman comp txc to work, and keep it in a locked shed where mopeds are kept.

Just a few hours ago, a moped driver put his moped in the shed and took my bike out. Not even 45 mins later I go out and its gone

work are reviewing the CCTV but I'm doubtful.

I don't have the frame number so am I pretty much out of luck trying to retrieve this? Already reported on the biker register website and emailed local police.

Any other suggestions?

Will probably pop up on the likes of gumtree or something like

scum.

so the moped rider left it outside? if be having words although even in a shed id be slapping a chain around it at least.

even with the frame number its probably been filed off by now.

Its not completely down to you - it was in a locked shed, the moped driver has removed it- in essence he is an accomplice in my opinion and should have to reimburse you. This is probably not the law but he removed your property from a secure area!

Insurance won't care unless it's locked to an unmovable object.

I'd be speaking to that moped rider... what did he think he was doing?

You don't lock it to anything?!

How did you find out the moped owner moved your bike outside ?

Small claims court against the guy that took your bike out of it's secure shed and left it in the street to be nicked.

I'd be ready to have a chat with that moped driver. If anything, I'd have blamed him more than the actual thief.

So it's a little more complicated regarding the ped driver. There's only 1 key to the shed that belongs to the driver. I often finish work after him and I'd ask him to leave my bike out the shed when he finishes, and I'd put a lock on my bike. The shift where my bike was stolen, he finished before me and that's probably why he took my bike out, tho he didn't tell me (I didn't ask him to on the shift).

The location isn't what I'd consider risky as well, and I'm always paranoid about bike theft.

Got some epicon forks laying around, might just build a bike with used parts

Sounds like there was a miscommunication somewhere, should have just got another key cut

And u should have had it locked inside the shed

Claim on your house insurance and then pop over to Canyon to find a replacement
