[Closed] Stolen Bikes West Yorkshire

Whereabouts in West Yorks?

Cleckheaton. Got the crime number etc, but really want my bikes back!

gutted for ya, im not too far away and ill keep an eye out!

Bloody hell, bastards, i'm in Cleck, i'll keep my eyes peeled. And my bikes hidden.

Keep your eyes peeled and lock your bikes up.

3 miles away, will watch out 😥

Please do! Didn't realise there were so many very local riders...quite reassuring at these times!
If anyone does have information please get in touch.

Bloody he'll, not again! In Brighouse here, but pass through Cleckheaton every day on my way to drig. I'll keep my eyes open for you. Where the hell do all these bikes go?!?!?

Eyes peeled from the fax side and trails

pass through Cleckheaton every day on my way to drig

You work in Drig??

Work in drig mate, nr the brickworks

Sorry, ninja edit on my part after I read your post properly. Small world!

Small World....should make it easier to find my bikes.
Still hasn't sunk in yet, my son is devastated, as it was his downhiller 🙁 Hope we can get these back. A full on twitter assault all day but nothing yet.
Keep you eyes peeled. If we get them back we should arrange a local group ride?

I'd be up for that, hope you get them back fieldy 🙂

Brighouse here, work up in Birkenshaw so I too pass near Cleckheaton most days. Fingers crossed.

Were they for sale on here? Or was somebody else selling a similar Tomac?

Im up in Roberttown mate, Ill keep an eye out.

Hope we get them back! the Tomac was on sale on here, pink bike and ebay. Nobody came to see them though. It is probably a local job as they left a third bike in the garden, which make me think that the thieving bast@rds were not in a van. We think they knew what they were coming for.....they even took some other components and tools...cheeky ****ers.

Cheers guys... lets get them found!!!

Any local riders around Gomersal and Cleckheaton please keep an eye out. Especially around Spen Greenway

No sightings as of yet. Police aware and a name has been given as possible suspect.

Don't give up, some sharp eyed help got me in the right place to retrieve my nicked bike a couple of weeks ago . Many eyes will find them sooner or later.

Cheers toys19.
Its the not knowing who's been in my garage that's really getting to me.
And what state the bikes might be in if found?
Hopefully twitter might help 350'000 people our tweets and retweet should have gone to.

Sorry to read that. In Birstall and will be taking in bits of the greenway tomorrow on the way to Judy woods etc. Will keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about.

Cheers Seavers

Good luck hunting. I'm in a similar position and lost 4 bikes the other month from my garage. Spotted one on eBay and Police grabbed the seller and my bike. But the other have not yet surfaced.

The timing for me was shit. My dad had just been allowed home from hospital after suffering a stroke 6 weeks ago, so every thing was looking good (better) for Xmas. Then this happened that night. I secured everything best I could but can't get motivated to see if they've nicked anything else...the bikes were mine and my sons pride and joy, and that's all I want back for now. Hate the notion that someone had been in there and rifled through my gear. I realise we've gotta move on but it sucks!! Hopefully the words getting out and we will get the bikes back...and we're keeping a look out on eBay and bike forums..

Just keeping the thread alive. No news as yet, a lot of coverage via twitter, need these bikes back. C'mon peeps spread the word, let me know of any sightings, Cheers

I live north Bradford, and some bikes were nicked recently from a street next to ours. Apparently they turned up on Ebay being sold in Middlesbrough.

I drive through Keighley, Shipley, W Leeds fairly regularly, and will certainly spot those if they go past accompanied by a scrote.

Gumtree Craig's list pinkbike and the rather useful Findthatbie vwebsite are worth regular checks. For any unusual or rare components set up eBay searches automatically.

Oh and my bike's as on eBay was incorrectly spelled and a one day auction so harder to spot unless you search very regularly.

Cheers guys. I'll have to sort my web searches out!! Gonna keep searching.

They've taken my bikes but they can't take my smile

Still searching!!!!

Huddersfield here, and work across Kirklees, so will look out for them.

Keeping my eyes open Halifax & Bratford.

Cheers Scapegoat and Daveyboywonder.

If any ones going through these local areas please keep an eye out, cheers

You on Facebook ? Stick a post on the MTB Calderdale page too... plus theres a forum too...

Cheers RickT, I'm not on Facebook but my sons are, so I'll get them to post. Cheers

Really hope you get these back mate, im in bfd so will stay alert.

Here's the forum link ,... http://www.halifaxmtb.co.uk

Cheers jaylittle and RickT

Keep lookin folk!!

Still no signs???

FunkyDunc - How long was it before they turned up on Ebay being sold in Middlesborough?

Keep your eyes peeled folks!

Keeping the search going!!

Just over the roundabout in Low Moor here so will def keep my eyes peeled.

That Tomac must be bloody rare!

Very rare..don't think we'll see that again!
Cheers for keeping a watch out at your side.

wyke in bradford is usually a reasonable place to look - sellers on gumtree and the bay located in that area

To be honest I don't know the timescale involved.

I thought I saw my stolen bike on Ebay about 6 months after it was nicked.

Sorry to say I think your chances of getting yours back are very slim.

Cheers Rockhopperbike, I'll keep a check.

Funky dunc, you're probably right but I'll keep the search going for a while just in case 🙂

If so and it's being riden, then chances it'll be spotted. I use the Asda in Wyke often.

Might be worth putting a wanted ad in the co op, chippies, etc...

Patriot pro, might have a look around Wyke! Been around Scholes and didn't spot anything.

Still no joy...please keep a look out for these.

Cheers guys
Going to have a scout around this afternoon

I'll keep an eye out and spread the word, Odsal area.

Shame I'm currently not able to ride.

Also a good idea to call all the local LBSs and explain what's happened, ask them to keep an eye out for people with those bikes asking for resale value etc and if they don't look like they fit the bike.

Looks like Shredder has spotted the bike today and it certainly sounds like mine.
Been over today but didn't see it. If spotted please report to the police reference number 13130520925

Please help find these bikes.

In and around the areas, too and from work at all times of day as field based. So will keep scooting through them when possible.

Cheers Shredder, let us know of any sightings.

My eyes are peeled for you in Bradders, too. And the Mrs 🙂

I drive past Idle on the Calverley side a couple of times a week. Eyes are peeled, crime number noted.

Cheers guys

Hi All,
A bit of a shocker from the insurance company, as they are only going to pay out less than 30% of bikes value, my fault for not specifing apparently. A bit of a tough and expensive lesson!
Which now makes it more important that I get these bikes back, so any further help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Be worth getting in touch with this Facebook group fieldy - based Baildon. If your bike's been seen in Thorpe Edge they'll be well placed I guess?

Im a member of that FB group (although not been out with then yet) I'll keep my eyes peeled although that areas not a place I or those guys bike about in.

Cheers Woody2000 and Darrenspink.
I'm not asking for anyone to get involved trying to recover the bikes other than letting me or the police know if they are seen. Don't want anyone getting hurt.

Im in brighouse & will put the feelers out,not sure they would be local to u anymore pal.
They'll off been moved on out of town by now i guess.

This is becoming an organised crime people are watching you people sard following you home from afar.
Do not go to your house if the car behind u has been following u a while pull up first & let them **** off.
Do not clean bikes on show if poss do it in a back garden etc.
Always lock them & keep them indoors a garage will not do, if her indoors doesn't like it lock her in the garage instead & bring the bike in.
West Yorkshire is getting peppered with bikes been nicked & nearly all ive heard are stolen from shed or garage or locked up outside work .

Seems like organised crime, and Yorkshire appears to be getting hit bad.
One of mine is definitely near Thorpe Edge, Bradford as Shredder has seen it.
Need to work on a plan to recover it once it is in our sights??
And still, everyone is a suspect....

Anyone seen these bikes?

Was up that way at lunchtime and saw a shady character on a giant whilst holding a boardman presumably for a mate. He didn't look like the type to be riding around on best part of a grand of xc hardtail...

Daveyboywonder do you think the police visit these areas often?

They are all over the areas regularly Brian.
Had a snoop round last night for you, will be in the same spots as last weekend this weekend.

fieldy - got a better picture of the Heckler? My mate lives Idle way and I want to send him a photo - he's not a bike so telling him to keep his eye out for a white Heckler doesn't really mean anything!
