I sent tweet to Police, but no reply. Yet.
Edit - now reported to Police via online form. Not going to phone 101 and hold on for 10 mins at 15p per minute. I am too mean. Have told them location and hope they may collect! We shall see!

I think @IWRATS has had similar success.
Yup - have ghosted bikes to St Leonards before. Pannier last time.

Heard from Bike Works that a Babboe Carve e-cargo trike has been stolen. Wooden box with twin headlights low down. Yamaha mid-drive motor with discs on two front suspension wheels.
This is their tilting model and was meant to go in for service at TBW.
If you see a trike abandoned or being ridden with adult in box then report or pm.
(Not one sold by us as Babboe like Islabikes are free of dealer expense).Posted 4 years ago # -
I saw a Curve being ridden (no passenger) 2 days ago, which is different to a Carve, I think

Yes... Curve is non tilt model and quite a bit cheaper.
Joe at Bike Works says trike is still missing. Being an e-trike it can only go so far before needing a charge. On bike tracking is worth having on such items - Electric Bike shop in Granton have fitted one on EdFoC UA.

@jules 878: Not going to phone 101 and hold on for 10 mins at 15p per minute. I am too mean.
"The 101 non-emergency number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It costs a flat rate of 15p per call from both landline and mobile networks, no matter how long you are on the phone or what time of day it is."

Should probably still be free, though, like 999 is. (Might take some of the non-urgent and just plain daft calls off the 999 service, in fact.)
Oh, but look - we only have to wait until April next year for it to be free: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48423791 (the article does refer to "the phone service in the UK" so that should include Scotland). Woo hoo. But why does it take a year to make it happen?
BTW, which online form did you use? There doesn't seem to be one on that non-emergencies page.

Police Scotland "contact us" form, at:
https://www.scotland.police.uk/contact-us/contact-us-form
It's for non-emergencies and other non-urgent things. I've used it for reporting instances of bad driving once I'm home and at the computer.

A parent at JGPS pickup just had her bike stolen from (literally) behind her back this afternoon at middayish. It's a brown Specialised hard-tail - pic attached - just in case anyone sees it advertised or around.

It's a long shot but would she have been in an area covered by CCTV?

Good question - I'll find out thanks - possibly Black Ivy or EBC
