Saw this on FB. Hope all you guys are ok and they catch the scumbags responsible.
Chipps was in there too at the time.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

I've got room to help shelter some bikes......
Nothing on my FB ? STW specific after bikes/kit or a general break in ?
Foiled by Chipps apparently

It'll be lost in all the guff they post these days... was posted last night.

If they had done their homework and read Fresh Goods Friday they would have realised what they were up against. 🙂

I imagine the ram raiders looked in, saw a pair of bombers then soon scarpered in a cloud of tyre smoke
(If Jamie could PS a pair of bombers on to that pic of Chipps ^)

Yup
Apparently the car used was an Audi estate.
So at least they were conforming with type - no-one would suspect them if they loaded a couple of Orange 5's onto the roof and drove off.
The wall was obviously hit by something heavy and powerful
boltonjon will be along in a minute to say it was an ebike.
Did Chipps have some bombers by his desk as part of the late not working policy in case of such incidents I wonder?
A ram raid! Retro! I knew STW was full of refugees from the 90s but I didn't think they took it this far.
The cover spine statement will be a good one this month....
So what if chipps had been taken hostage? Ransom? Or something along the lines of "Taken"....????
Was it Shaun?
Is the coffee machine OK?
Was it definitely not just an elderly driver parking an automatic?
I dont think the ram raiders worked out the economics of this very well....
lets trash an Audi to steal a couple grands worth of bikes!?!!?
If I was a ram raider I'd probably have 'borrowed' someone else's car for economic and police knocking on my door type reasons
*looks for latest "can I drive my mates car?" thread*

Exactly! So why risk stealing a car to steal some bikes. Why not just steal a more expensive car? only one crime, and half the chance of getting caught.
Maybe they would use the bikes to rob a bank...?
And the money from the bank job can be used to set up a multinational conglomerate.....
Mwa haaaaa haaaa..
DrP
Except selling a stolen car is nigh on impossible unless you export it or break it for parts.Exactly! So why risk stealing a car to steal some bikes. Why not just steal a more expensive car? only one crime, and half the chance of getting caught.
Ohh ek.
Hope you lot are alright, post pics.. 😐

You've got to steal some bikes so you can do a ride-by handbag grab. Why not just sell the bike you ask, as it'll be worth more than the handbag? Well, you need the handbag for your disguise for your art gallery heist. Why not just buy a handbag? STYLE.
