My bike (above) was robbed this morning between 10.20am and 10.45am outside the Westin Hotel on Westmoreland Street [Dublin]. An eyewitness saw a guy with an angle grinder cut through the kryptonite lock. A bystander approached and was threatened to back off…. I reported it at Pearse St Garda Station but the feedback was that “5 bikes have been stolen in the last half-hour”.

It also seems that a person fitting the description supplied was spotted stealing bikes in various parts of the city including Castle Street. The guards suggested that I reach out to my insurance company.

Depressing as I don’t have insurance given that I bought the bike at Cyclebike 2 weeks ago…The bike is a GT Series Road bike – as per the pic (above) but the saddle and grips are actually black. It’s pretty distinctive so on the off chance than anyone has seen the bike please contact below.

cam2 cam3Spotted in Cork.

A 1975 Chevrolet Camaro (Z28). It’s a 5.7 Litre V8 automatic.

It does about 20 gallons to the mile on sunny days.

Coincidentally, the owner says it is currently for sale.

No cash, favours, pints, etc were sought or received for this post.

Update:

car2We would have used Lars’ photos of the car but the lighting didn’t quite work out (example above).
