Kind of good to hear from people who had their bikes stolen as well, not that my bike was the most expensive one but as someone else put it in another post about their bike "my pride and joy" - not exaggerating at all. Indeed scary and nasty things going on in Edinburgh....</p> <p>Suppose I have done everything I can do so far and all I can do is keep my eyes open now and...well, maybe get a new bike!</p> <p>Anyway, if you hear or see anything, please get in touch! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139735 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:10:43 +0000 Radgeworks 139735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi Simone, saddened to learn your news.<br /> Hopefully your bike will be returned to you. </p> <p>HOWEVER!! </p> <p>My wee brother moves in slightly more nefarious circles than I, and we were recently chatting about bike theft, he tells me that there is a proper gang stealing bikes in Edinburgh/Scotland, and if the bike is above the £2K mark, you get £50 for informing them of where it is, you get a bit less for anything below that. They apparently do love christmas time, and freshers week too. The dude circulates in Leith pubs and known "dodger" hangouts.<br /> Make, Model ideally and location is all they want to know. Scary stuff but makes a bit of sense, given the scale of some of the thieving being done.<br /> RJ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139726 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:55:28 +0000 tammytroot 139726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>+1.<br /> Everyone here will keep an eye out. Horrible feeling to find your bike not where you left it :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139718 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:25:55 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 139718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will keep an eye out. It's a horrible thing to happen, but good to know that people <em>will</em> look out for it as they're cycling round - some people here went out of their way to look for my bike when it was stolen last year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139685 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:38:33 +0000 Simone 139685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems like you've been indeed there where I am just now :-( quite right, shouldn't put me off biking!<br /> It was a great two months with my new bike -<br /> thanks for the encouragement! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139677 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:51:35 +0000 Smudge 139677@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>:-( Been there, it's horrible.<br /> Good luck getting it back, but whatever happens, don't let the thieving scum put you off biking! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12037#post-139668 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:34:12 +0000 Simone 139668@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dear bicycle enthusiasts, </p> <p>I need your help!!!</p> <p>My lovely newish hybrid bike (Revolution Heritage, black frame, greyish mud guards, serial number AA30120497 - stamped into the frame) was stolen a few days ago in the Bruntsfield/Viewforth area of Edinburgh (even though locked) - the chances that I might find it again are probably very low but I thought I don't leave anything untried to find it again.<br /> When it was stolen, it had a white metal basket on the pannier rack, no front basket though. Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you for your help.<br /> Simone (Contact either by email or mobile: 07807515805)</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-heritage-13">Revolution Heritage picture</a> </p>
