Hi Guys,

So my sisters boss has had both his bikes stolen. They were taken from his shed in South Queensferry, Edinburgh.

I know there are a few guys from the Edinburgh area on here, so if anyone sees them or thinks they have any info please contact

That's a shitter, I'm local so I'll keep an eye out. Probably won't see it though... Has your sister's boss been to Glentres recently? There has been a recent increase of thefts where scum follow you back from a trail centre and then break in at night...
