N****R Stole My Bike!

Where did you leave it and how long?

>>1017887
I have, but only because I lived in a small town and was lucky. You'll probably never find your bike, mate.

And nope, unless it's a very flashy bike (with a weird frame) or you put a gps or some shit like that inside the frame, they won't help, especially in a big city where bike thieves are commons.

Might be a good idea to file a police report if you're planning on getting a new bike paid for by your insurance.

It was locked to a pillar under the stairs of my apartment block. So it was someone who had access to my building, but that doesn't help much as there are quite a few people who live here and lots of delivery guys and other randoms that can get in and out every day.

>new bike paid for by your insurance.
Nope, no insurance.

>You'll probably never find your bike, mate.
Yeah, I'm not expecting to get it back. I'd like to do something I just don't know if reporting it is worth the hassle, a waste of police time or something.

It was a nice bike by most peoples standards, but nothing particularly special.

>>1017936
yeah, I keep mine inside my apartment. recommend you do the same

Report all such events. Reports, at the very least, go to statistics to determine which districts get funding, how often cops patrol, and other things such as neighborhood campaigns to get cameras installed or whatever. It might not get you your bike back but crossing your t's and dotting your i's is a good thing to do for your whole neighborhood. And if the cops bust a theft ring and get your bike back, they can get it back to you.

tl;dr Report it.

yeah well it depends if the stolen value makes it a felony or not, don't know how much it is in the UK, but in that case police is obligated to investigate if you report.

Don't left valuable things at the outside anyway.
Next time remember to use two hardened steel chains or large U locks.
One for each wheel and the frame and both locked to a secure spot.
Only locks with the plain type of keys like pic related, with as may slits as possible, not dented nor tubular keys.
Of course, don't use easy-to-unlock levers on the wheels and saddle and secure them with screws and nuts instead.

It's absolutely worth reporting if you at least have a serial number

if you dont, and you got it from an LBS, they might be able to pull up what it was.

if you got your serial number, its proof the bike is yours, and if the nig takes it to anything like a pawn shop or used bike shop you're very likely to get it back

Reminder you can stick a note inside a handlebar, a threadless stem, write on a bottom bracket or bottom bracket axle or the fork steerer, so your name is on it proving ownership in case it ends up in some shady pawnshop.

do you have renters insurance? Bikes are covered

https://bikeindex.org/stolenhttps://bikeindex.org/stolen I think you should report it to the police or add your frame-number to one of these databases. Maybe there´s a little chance, that someone looks in one of these databases before buying your bike, or maybe sometimes the EU will do more against bicycle theft, like for example sharing the dates of stolen bikes between the countries.

>>1017887
Yes, report it. Always. Give every detail you can. No joke. Recovery chances are next to 0 but it's better than doing nothing. Put some flyers up and see what others come up with. Offer a reward for recovery.

>>1017936
>leaving it outside
>at an apartment

That will cause bikes to vanish. Just take it inside. No joke.

>>1017936

>he doesn't carry his bike up the stairs to his apartment every day

You deserve to have it stolen. Maybe the new nigger owner will love it more and give it proper care.

>>1018136
Better yet, hook up a device with a GPS system inside there.

:(

>>1017887
Always report it to the police. If you don't, it won't turn up in the statistics and nothing will change.

>>1018023
adding on this put super glue and a steel bb inside the allen or hex screw head on your bike seat clamp if you have that system.

>>1020062
wax > super glue

>>1017936
kill everyone in the building

You seem like the real faggot here. What do you care what someone else enjoys?

>Oh man, that guy over there likes cookie dough ice cream!? That's not my favorite, fa-faggot!
