Trying to work out why they wanted my £15 Deda bars... </p> Neil on "Attempted theft or vandalism on Polwarth Gardens" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17968#post-256095 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 11:54:22 +0000 Neil 256095@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm.... That was why i reported it to the police, even though nothing was stolen other than 4 M5 bolts.</p> <p>Hopefully people will be better about making sure the main door is closed behind them now (they are generally pretty good but clearly someone didn't last night) </p> piosad on "Attempted theft or vandalism on Polwarth Gardens" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17968#post-256089 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 11:02:44 +0000 piosad 256089@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Someone on Twitter recently had theirs nicked from outside the Polwarth Scotmid, too. Worth raising with the community council and/or local councillors to feed to police? </p> Neil on "Attempted theft or vandalism on Polwarth Gardens" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17968#post-256080 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:15:47 +0000 Neil 256080@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last night around 8pm someone stole a saddle bag of tools from a neighbours bike locked in our stairwell and removed the faceplate from my handlebar stem, leaving the bars hanging by the brake cables.</p> <p>Not sure whether they were trying to steal the bike and gave up/were disturbed or whether it was just vandalism.</p> <p>Reported it to the police, even though nothing was stolen or damaged.</p> <p>Just to make people in the area aware really. </p>
