Stolen Bicycles in York
Discussion
Hi there,
Today between 3 and 6pm at King's Staith in York, some thieves stole a Whyte PRST-1 and a PRST-4, belonging to me and my wife.
We had cycled 17 miles to go to York for a late lunch, and discovered the theft at 6 when we were going to start cycling back home.
Unfortunately, we had to get a train and a taxi back home.
If anyone sees or hears anything about these being put up for sale in the York area in the next few days, I would appreciate a PM.
These bikes are very distinctive, and might prove tough to sell on without attracting some attention.
Just found out that our home insurance only covers £500 for bicycles too, so looking at a big loss.
They were both chained up very securely, and are security marked with our postcode.
The PRST-4 has some Easytrack.com and Ducatisti.co.uk stickers on the frame and swinging arm.

Posted a few STOLEN notices around King's Staith and the surrounding area this morning. Left a mobile number, and offered a reward for any information leading to the recovery of our bikes.
Contacted the police, and have a crime number, but took a while to get them to recognise that the stolen bikes aren't easily replaceble £50 snotters.
Apparently, there is CCTV covering the site, but after calling the police last night to let them know, then again at about 14:00, as yet, no one has looked at it. I offered to turn up at the police station to go through the footage myself, and save them a job, but that didn't go down too well.
Bah.
