Stolen Bike

Boardman road bike stolen from a Redhill CC rider over the weekend in Merstham.

Can you please keep an eye out for this bike just in case. Also stay vigilant as it would appear that this poor cyclist from Redhill had his home targeted specifically to steal his bike. See below.

I had my MTB stolen a couple of months ago. It was stolen in Islington. I reported it and gave police the frame number. The police recovered the bike two weeks after it was stolen.

My garage was also targeted soon after the MTB was stolen. We were told by neighbour from across the road that a couple of guys were fiddling with the garage door around 9am one day. We called the police in the evening. Whilst police were taking statement from the neighbour across the road, the thieves came back (around 7pm) but the police arrested them.

I think the thieves were done for attempt of robbery so I doubt they got any serious sentence unfortunately.

Anyway, if the Redhill rider has frame number, it might be worth giving it to the police. There were a few operations in the City recently where police was cracking down on bike thieves.

Good luck!

I will keep an eye out on my regular commute into London and general riding, although Boardman bikes are a dime a dozen now... Hope he has luck getting it back or in worst case, the insurance pays up!

I register bikes (and other stuff) here, at least then if they are found they will be returned to you.
