Hello, thought i would make use of the forum and put up a picture of my car, a C55 AMG, which is brilliant! Love driving it and i have had it remapped by DMS and delimited so should be around 400bhp now. Anyway, some theiving scumbag got into my garage at 0430 this morning and nicked my mountain bike. Its is a cannondale rush 3 and distinctive. If any Ph'ers see it going about on the streets i would be very grateful if they would let me know..diverno1@gmail.com. Stolen in aberdeen, cults/bieldside/culter area. Long shot oi know but somebody may see it! Well pissed off as they stood on my car bonnet to get it off the rack and now that is covered in scratches and will require a respray. Effin Scumbag!
Thank you

Did I meet you up in Altens in the petrol station the other week?(I was the lad on a bike)

Hope you get it back, that is a seriously nice bike. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.

Hello William, thank you for the reply and cheers for keeping an eye out. According to todays P+J, page 22, i am not the only one that was hit. Scumbags. Anyway, thank you!

Just something to give you a bit of optimism, but I got a letter from the crown office and procurator fiscal's office saying they'd caught someone for my break-in 3 weeks after it happened.
Scumbag is currently on remand. Hopefully you'll see a similar letter soon.

I'd recommend posting the details of the bike up on singletrackworld.com or descent-world.co.uk and you may stand a good chance of someone spotting it.. a few bikes have been recovered through those forums...

Will keep an eye out for it. Quite a few friends from Aberdeen Uni biking club have also had bikes nicked recently. Mine's in the living room to try and make sure it's safe, would be very unhappy about it being pinched. Hope you get it back. Have you posted messages in the Edinburgh Bike Co-op and Alpine bikes? Think they have notices you could post on.

Cracking bike - ste to hear it's been nicked frown. I keep all my bikes (plurel!) in a locked, alarmed garage, with them locked to anchor points in the concrete floor. Paranoid? Maybe LOL.

Keep a look on singletrackworld classifieds, plus I'll monitor my local bike club site for bits (Stirling Bike Club).
