Some little shites tried to steal my mates bike :( Stoke -on-Trent area
Couldn't due to heavy old bike and heavy duty disc lock, so caused damage instead and stole his tools out of his top box ./ panniers If anyone sees any for sale cheap let me know (I'll get details of what's missing later ) Hes a ( self employed ) mechanic so gonna be his tools of his trade
Scum bike thieves (thieves of anything actually) make me not sad but angry.. vandalisers of bikes even more so are scum, hope your mate gets his stuff back Feylin xxx
if it was just a disc lock holding the bike down Feylin i suspect you be looking for a couple of young joy riders or junkies looking for quick kicks. If it was serious tea leaves they would just pick it up and take it.
Hope they get found and there arms get a twisting.
Stuie Its an old sx850, bit heavy to pick up I think, got his panniers and top box on, full of tools too Found it on its side He said they tried to jemmy the steering lock and bent the front forks ( amongst other things ) He was out , bike on car park, not sure how heavy duty the "heavy duty" disc lock is but at least he still has his bike even though it's , little bit more uncontrollable now Wouldn't fancy the changes of them keeping their hands if he catches them
Thanks for the good wishes folks. Mr Ken is home and ok, has to wait for appt with surgeon to discuss what happens next. On a lighter note whilst he was there yesterday one of his room mates rolled a joint at which point the nurse spotted him. A discussion was had about herbal treatment lol
