Bike's been nicked!

[JudgeDredd]

Just had my bike nicked from work...thieving, robbing, scumbag shit fer brains bastads!



Really rather sad. It was £750 new. I've done about 8 charity events on this bike.

Not only that, last week I had £240 of work carried out on it, I spent £30 on a new set of SPD pedals. On top of all that it had all parts of ancillary items attached (water bottles and holders, T-Bar for extra lights, rear light fittings, front light fittings, expensive hand pump) - all of which are not covered under the insurance (because they are only "parts" of items

Pretty gutted at the moment.

Don't worry Dredd. What goes around, comes back around. You'll be the better off in the end.

I hope I don't  ;)

Yep - but they'll do nothing...it's a bicycle. It's a stat. They'll get involved if it comes to their attention - but nothing will be done otherwise.

And get this - I told them I had CCTV....
They said "You have CCTV?"
Me "Yes
Them "Where did you get that from?"
Me "My employer...I work in IT and was able to get the footage. I presumed you might have some interest in it"
Them "Have you watched it?"
Me "Yes"
Them "That may very well compromise your court case?"
Me "What? That I saw who did it?"
Them "Yes - that you saw the CCTV footage"
Me "You did hear the part where I said I was a victim of a crime, didn't you?"

Bloody country is unbelievable!

As it is, the CCTV footage isn't fantastic. You can see how they are dressed and likely height etc, but face etc is all sketchy.

First SDR gets jumped, now your bike gets ripped off. Our UK members are off to a rough start this year. Bawb and undercovergeek, watch your arses!

Wait...how does YOUR seeing the CCTV footage affect what's on it? That makes no sense.

And since you've invested enough to make that bike worth a thousand quid, which to our states folks is well over $1500, I'd really be out for blood. I don't know about you guys, but here, if you nick more than a thousand dollars' worth of property, that's Grand Theft, which is a felony, and something the cops tend to take a bit more seriously.

Stress balls, mate. Stress balls.

JD, I hope the thieving twat's arsehole heals up. And you're right, its a waste of time trying to get the fuzz to do anything unless its a major crime. Absolutely disgusting.

Phew...for a minute there I thought you said 'washing'.
