[Now FOUND!] [LOST, Hobart] Mountain Bike

[weetbix456]

Hey guys,

My mountain bike was stolen sometime during work today..it was chained up just near the old myer site on liverpool street. It is an Avanti Black Thunder M 24-speed, mostly black with bits of silver. I've reported it to the police and i know it's unlikely it will be 'found' but if anyone sees it laying around the street or whatever could you let me know on 0400437586. Much appreciated!

Thanks, Nick.

Dude thats messed up!! Keep an eye on the local classified websites like gumtree...

Yea its balls...ride it in everyday. I'd love to open my car door onto whoevers face at high speed. On the topic, any recommendations for a newy??

Are there street cameras? If you're lucky and there are cameras and it got nicked and placed in a car and the cameras saw the rego, well, you never know.
Good luck.

I'd have done the same thing!!

Let the wallopers know the bike has been recovered. Next time remove the seat and take it inside with you, more secure than using a lock i found

This brings to mind an idea, removable pedals.. .If it were easy, it would serve the same purpose. Even removing one could work.

I would be hoping for a fortnight of gastric flu at least Great that you got your bike back, I hate thievery.

[Nuts]

ha ha great result! I would have stuck around (to grab a photo of the guy at least). Do hope it wasn't some kid who saw your bike and wanted theirs set up just the same way

[pazzar]

What a coincidence, someone stole my bike that I'd had for a few days while i was in a shop on Newtown Road the other day. Hope I can find it like you did

[weetbix456]

haha. thanks whoever changed the name of this..i always forget!
