Cabbage Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I had my bike stolen from the College Street Car park on Tuesday. I was speaking to the Security guys there yesterday and they told me the place has become a bit of a target recently, about 4 bikes in a single month have been stolen. Just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone here as there is absolutely no warnings or anything in the car park itself.My bike lock (a combination curly cable type) was cut with bolt crops and the bike gone within 60seconds of the guys entering the car park. Make sure you have some solid security and a shite bike if you are leaving it in that car park!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Sucks dude, hope you get it back. I doubt anyone would bother stealing my bike, even if I don't bother locking it up. It's rust held together by more rust. It's so old the sticker on it from the shop it came from still shows the phone number as 0224. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Get one of these beasts:Pricey and bulky, but worth it. Use it to attach one wheel and the frame to the post/pole/whatever. Also get a standard U-lock and attach it to your other wheel and the frame so the minks don't decide to just steal that. It happened to one of my mates when he was in college and had to walk home to Hazlehead with one wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Either that or a U-Lock. Best bike lock I've ever owned and it's the epitome of punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody stole the fucking skewer from his rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
