Hello,

For the second time this year, I've been robbed. This time it's my Giant Reign 2, in red, Rockshox Revelation RL 150mm forks in White.

It'll have Crest rims and Hope Pro2 hubs.

If you see it anywhere, let me know. Hopefully we have the culprits on CCTV. Waiting for the police now.

Chav scum.

Where was it nicked from? Have you let some of the bike shops know? Sunset, cyclopaedia, don skene etc.

Nicked from Taffs Well, from a shed. Two alarms, two decent locks, three pad locks on the doors too, they took the alarm with them it seems.

I'll give the shops a bell.

When is this ever going to end.....it truly is heartbreaking for you guys. Not a day goes bye, a friend of mine on Facebook had her bike stolen last and she is devastated.....albeit a cheap halfords one, but to her was a lot of money.
I now keep my SC Butcher in side the house now.

keep an eye on ebay or similar websites for anybody selling parts that match yours.
Very often the frame is dumped. Too easy to trace .. whilst the parts are easy to shift for pretty good money..

Really feel for you fella.

Set up searches for your frame and forks on eBay and Gumtree and run everyday.

Is it on Immobilise - http://www.immobilise.com/

If not register as stolen.

Thanks chaps, think we've worked it out to be on NYE from the camera footage. Sounds like there were other break-ins in the area too, same thing happened last time.

At the end of the day, it's only a bike, as long as insurance pay out then it's ok I suppose. Just hate that there are scum out there that don't do anything and think they can take what other people have earnt.
