Thieving scumbags

[rat840771]

A weekend from hell!

Went with the family to the Olympic pool yesterday for the Fun session on inflatables. 10mins into the session my wife slipped, snagged her leg and snapped it (spiral fracture of Tibia and fracture of fibia)! Spent hours in Newham hospital, 4 hrs on the road (M11), sorting kids out.

So today i went to see the wife post OP ( titanium rod in snapped leg) and thought i would go on the bike to save time, parked in staff area at the hospital, 1 hour in some scumbag tts tried to nick it and i found it laying on its side. Clutch lever snapped, engine casing, left fairing and rear panel scraped. What a bunch of low life wkers.

Couldn't relax knowing they would be back, so said my goodbyes and went back to Cambridge.

The bike smoked like a asthmatic, on start up but appears to be fine.

Looks like it will cost around £400 to put right.

Rant over and a weekend to forget!

Are you sure theft was attempted or was it knocked over by a car?

[Tribal Chestnut]

Oh dear! That's all very st. Hope she heals up soon and good luck with the kids.

[Tall_Paul]

Sounds like it's been knocked over, unless they were disturbed in the act and dropped it, is the steering lock broken?

I'd be asking to see CCTV, hopefully they'll have caught the car that hit it.

[rat840771]

it was in a bike park, which was undercover, with only 1 other bike.

I spoke to security, CCTV wasn't working on camera, but he said it is most likely the bike gangs that operate in the area on scooters.But not 100% sure.

Im 99% sure i put it on the stand properly, just a stter, but ho hum, ill get it fixed.

[Marvtec]

I'd guess you didnt secure it and it fell over, your brain was occupied elsewhere at that moment.

On the bright side the leg was fixed sharpish; when my bro did his tib & fib skateboarding (aged 40 ) it happened on a Sunday; it was Wednesday before he got the bionic bits.

The main thing is your wife is fixed, bike can be fixed too...like others have said was it definitely an attempted theft or a car?

[epom]

It's only a bike, and can easily be repaired. Your wife has had a terrible accident and will need a lot more care for recovery. Best wishes to her. As for the bike, will be sorted in time.

Went back today.....in the car as they wont nick a Volvo!

Defo on stand properly, if theft wasn't attempted the only other possibly IMO is that a car just caught the back wheel and rocked it off the stand.

Wife is in a bad way, never seen anything like it, she has a bruise running up her shin from either the break or where they hammered in the rod from below the knee all the way down to the ankle. Sends shivers down my spine!

The lifeguard heard it snap!

Lovely to meet u last week babe
So sorry to hear about it wife's accident sounds nasty hope she gets well soon
And scumbag bike thieves need their hands cutting off

[rat840771]

It was good to meet you too Mitzy

The wife's on the mend, but it will take time.

Bike is also on the mend, LH middle fairing £225, LH rear unit £120, clutch lever £20, so not that bad and may get a good price for the scratched originals if i sell on ebay.
