[Closed] STOLEN BIKES WEST SWINDON

Seriously bad luck mate 🙁 . Happened to me two weeks ago, bloody awful.

Unlucky mate. Had my garage broken into last week and they stole my beloved Santa Cruz Bronson, my Zesty and my mates Nukeproof Mega. Did you have insurance? If so how you getting on claiming. Protect my Bubble are dragging their heals...

Shit luck. Never give up. I got a bike back 3 years after it was nicked.

Hi

Insurance looks to be OK, my garage has an integral door from the house, so the police and insurance company deem the garage as part of a dwelling, and not an out building. Lucky, I didn't realise the door made a difference!

That said, assessor has been round, said everything looked OK, just waiting for an offer to be made next week so we shall see.

Have bought bars for the garage window and rear pedestrian door, plus an alarm system dedicated to the garage plus a camera system to cover the perimeter of the whole house, so hopefully if / when the bikes are replaced, the b****** can't get them a second time!

Thanks for the picture upload info, pics on my pc, so will need help from one of my kids to get them on the net!

They will be back in a couple of months though. Have a search on here for a topic on garage security for tips/locks.

Fit this

Place siren in bedroom. Place large bat in bedroom. Place large blinding chinese Cree flashlight in bedroom. Preparation for when the alarm goes off 😀

Spent the weekend putting internal bars on the window, bars / secondary door to the rear pedestrian door where the b******* got in, plus a dedicated garage alarm system than can be armed all the time we are in the house.

Camera system getting installed next weekend!

Hoping to hear positive things from the insurance company this week, so don't want to take any chances if they come back a second time after the bikes have been replaced!
