Peperami Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Soooo many people can get into flat blocks mate, easy to say now but should have taken it indoors. Quite a few of the main doors will have magnetic locks (easy to force open) or a route of access other than the main door. Also one of the neighbours could have had guests that have taken it, or someone could have let someone in... when you go out the main door, and someone is waiting to come in, do you slam the door in their face as they should have their own keycard, or do you just hold the door for them... definately not a secure place to leave an expensive bike!Either way, report it to the police. Someone may get pissed off with it having a piddly little gear to ride in and dump it after five minutes.Hope it turns up mateDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i'm sure he knows it was a dumb idea now guys, give him a break. I had a bike stolen on my birthday in January 2007 and I got hold of it again in August that year. Never thought I would see it again to be honest. Got really down about it at the time though, but the best thing to do is get saving and get another cheap bike sorted, then it may turn up and you can sell it or whatever. But the police tracked cctv of the guy riding off on my bike, got his face and all but didn't make any difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Hops_Alot Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Have you thought that one of your neighbours might have stolen it?They might have seen it outside your flat and noticed it had been there for ages and decided to steal it and sell it on straight away.
