Not mine but a good mates, stolen from Peel Terrace around 6:30pm Sunday night. Its a mainly white with the odd black bit Carrera Fury, has bright white avid juicy 3 brakes, gold Suntour epicon 120mm (I think) forks, black speedking tyres.

Any info please let me know, reward if we get to kneecap the ****.

Sorry to hear about that, I will keep my eye out.
On another point I have the exact same bike so if anyone sees me on it be gentle, only difference at the mo is I'm running schwalbe ice spiker tyres.

Edd209, do you have gold forks too? Well, the bits that are usually silver anyway. Police have been alerted but not sure on security markings or registering it, he's not here at the min.

You'd be surprised how rubbish many bike locks are. Abus granite x-plus is about the best, it's a d-lock which hydraulic jack resistant and takes a long time to cut through with a grinder. Why spend £500 or more on the bike then £20 on a lock?

D locks with round Q shaped keys can be done with a bic biro in seconds.

When I lock my bike at work I use three locks.

Believe me, I wouldn't :) There was no indication in the OP that the bike was locked up though so I was wondering if it was just pinched out of a back yard or was left outside a house unsecured etc.

I've seen the youtube vids but I think this is a very old trick and has since been fixed... could be wrong though.

Unfortunately no, he hadn't locked it. Put it in someones front yard and was in the house less than 2 minutes, but as we all know it takes a lot less than that to rob a bike :(

Ouch. I wouldn't leave my keys in the car with the engine running which is the equivalent situation

Insurance won't pay out either.

Nope, I know. Rookie mistake, too many ***** out there with no respect for other people. Even if there is nothing to lock my bike to and I absolutely have to leave it I make sure I lock the wheels to the frame, that way if someone does try and take it they have to carry the thing and someone is more likely to notice.

Looks like the pikey kids are all getting bikes for christmas, again.

Why is there apparently so much theft, are morals disappearing faster than we can react?

Very sad.

I sincerely hope the owners of those bike both get them back.

Aye, the car I just bought only has one key which means I need to either stand outside whilst it warms/defrosts or get another key so I can start it and then lock it in the morning.
