    Dear All
    Sad news I had a very nice Gazelle stolen in the East End recently. White pearlescent frame with red graphics. Old school frame similar to Nic's but different colours obvoiusly. If anyone happens to see a red and white gazelle out there on the streets please let me know.
    Narrow straight bars
    Blue Anodised Open pro rear with Campy Record hub. Blue tyre
    Shimano Ultegra brake and Gold Finger lever
    Silver CXP33 front with yellow tyre
    Condor Seatpost with knackered saddle yellow highlights.
    It had tiny gearing 42 19 as it was being used as my polo bike.
    If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it
    A couple of crates of beer I would gladly hand over upon it's return

    Thanks for your time
    Dicki

    Gumtree sellers have offered stolen bikes for sale in the past.

    I know 2 messengers who bought their own bikes back.

    don't be picking on the bereaved.

    there is a lot of grey area on what is stolen and then proving it as such.

    if you don't fancy the big stick method of bicycle retrieval this is how to get your bike back from brick lane LEGALLY:

    1. find your bicycle.
    2. ask cocksuckingstolenbikesellingwankstain how much and tell him you'll buy it but need to get money from the cash point, basically get him to save it for you
    3. go somewhere [out of sight] and call police. tell them the situation [btw, you'll need a crime number so make sure the theft of your bike is reported], they should send plainclothes officers to meet you [they did for sasha of RB].
    4. with the plainclothes officers standing next to you tell the cocksuckingstolenbikesellingwankstain that you're back to buy the bicycle.
    *ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PLAN IS FOR THE COCKSUCKINGSTOLENBIKESELLINGWANKSTAIN TO OFFER TO SELL YOU YOUR BICYCLE IN FRONT OF POLICE OFFICERS*
    5. show cocksuckingstolenbikesellingwankstain receipt.
    6. introduce him to plod.
    7. rub hands with glee as he's arrested for sale of stolen goods.
    8. ride away on your bicycle.

    this has been proven, the more people who do this, the more brick lane sellers are arrested, the better.

    Yeah, sleepy is right. Find out what your frame number is, register it one of the many bike reg schemes, and if it gets stolen - report it to the police!

    Also DON'T BUY STOLEN BIKES! Buy a stolen bike, pay the thief for nicking it.

    Bike thieves are scum, right? So what is a person that puts money in the pocket of a thief?

    punctuation is an integral part of written communication. what you are saying is hard to understand without it, defeating the object of trying to communicate.


    wheeling out the old i aint edjumactaed line is bollocks. it's lazyness.
