Bikes STOLEN... grrr!

Hi all! It is with great sadness that I must report that two of our bikes were stolen from our back yard last night.

The first was my wife's beloved Repco Traveller (pictured). This bike has little monetary value, but is Jewlz' primary form of transportation and is sorely missed.

The second was my general hack bike, an Indi Maverick (pictured), my $20 garage sale special that I lost 25kg's riding at the start of last year.

The bikes were taken from the back yard of out flats in Mitchell Park some time over night on the 23/24 May.

Also taken were two bike helmets (which were in the pannier of Jewlz' bike at the time) and a Leopard-Trek cycling cap, which my youngest will be devastated about when she realises it is gone.

The people who took the bikes also (needlessly and shamefully) broke one of the razor scooters that were also out the back at the time.

Please let me know if you see either of these bikes on 0408-141 425. The descriptions have been given to both Cashies and the Police.

Please pass around the description of the bikes to your other biking friends.

Cheers

Comment by Wombat on May 24, 2011 at 11:57: I was trying to tell the guys at Cashies that it is the same as if their cars were stolen in the night... they just didn't get it!

Comment by Dahondude on May 24, 2011 at 12:05: Fekkers. I'll keep my eyes open for the bikes.

Comment by Diana Tebneff on May 24, 2011 at 12:19: Sorry to hear the news, Andrew. Hope they turn up at Cashies soon. Hope you can score a new cap at this years' TDU.

Comment by Wombat on May 24, 2011 at 13:17: Thanks all... the big issue is Jewlz' bike. If we can get that back I will almost be ok with losing the rest.

Comment by Juz on May 24, 2011 at 16:17: Hey Wombat -

I'm so sorry to hear this has happened - I wish the fleas of a thousand camels upon the armpits of whatever scum stole your bikes :-(

I'm just setting myself up to get my first road bike (picking it up this week) so would be very happy to lend Jewlz my hybrid until you work something out. It's a heavy little beast but she's wonderful. I've got lights, lock etc I can lend to so give me a shout if that could be of any use.

I hope they ride one and the saddle breaks off and have the seat post right up their (you know the rest)!
