Someone Stole My Bike! (Kent)

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Hiya,

A few days ago someone stole my bike from Dover High Street ('sob')
and although posting this is clutching at straws it is still better
than doing nothing (er, leastways I think it is).

Apparently, bike thieves will often try to sell a bike in another town
so if anyone in the Kent area see a bike matching the following
description please let the Police know (quoting crime number HZ
1612104)

Its a metallic silver 24-speed Jeep Comanche with a front disc brake
which looks quite similar to this pic:

At a casual glance the most noticable distinguishing feature is the
non-standard seatpost which is black with two white "B52" logos on it.

The frame number is: KUV 3139708

Its a shame there isn't a mailing list/discussion group whereby
details of stolen bikes could be emailed to people who would look at
those appropriate to the area they live in!

Thanks for reading this - I feel a little better at having done
SOMETHING beyond getting the Police to check CCTV tapes and my touring
of second-hand shops.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/evomechHi John, Ive just read about the theft of your bike. I had a bike stolen years ago and I remember how I felt at the time. I just wanted to send commiserations and I truly hope that you are lucky enough to get it back. Keep posting to let us all know how you get on. In the meantime I will keep an eye out for the bike, I live in Dartford, so you never know !! :( :mad: :mad: :(
