Stolen For The Second Time

Ah here.

I know you don’t usually do this sort of thing, but I’ve had my bike stolen for the SECOND time in its lifetime.

My blue Specialized Sirrus men’s bike was first stolen from outside my house about five years ago, but thanks to an eagle-eyed person on the internet, the not-very-clever thief putting it up for sale the same day under his own name on Adverts.ie and an ensuing incredibly exciting garda sting operation, I got it back.

This time, however, it’s been stolen from Dublin city centre, where the thieves may not be so dense, so I’m hoping the Broadsheet massive can help.

I locked the bike to a street sign at the junction of Capel Street and Little Britain Street [Dublin 1] at about 10pm on Friday night and when I returned at 2pm today (July 8) it was gone.

I know I shouldn’t have left it overnight, and yes I know I should have used more than one lock, but it was a special occasion as I was going to The Black Sheep to meet a friend who only comes home to Ireland about once every five years as he has a phobia of flying (hi John!).

Briefly, this is the bike: Specialized Sirrus men’s bike. Dark metallic blue with white writing and white stripes. Black handlebars, footstraps, silver seatpost, black clip-on mudguards, silver brake levers, and the handlebar grips have been replaced with cheap black rubber ones.

The saddle is red and black with hole down the middle. It’s basically the same bike as the one in the photo.

Any sightings/info/suggestions where to look from Broadsheeters would be greatly appreciated..

Anyone?

    This is not a joke.
    I work very close to there and I get on great with the little local tykes who may or may not have stolen your tricycle bicycle.

    I’ll see what I can do on Monday.
    I have me suspicions.

    Actually, if you just let me finish me dinner I’ll get on the blower.
    10 minutes, tops.

    NOT a joke.

    That’s a joke.

    Funnily enough this is also not a joke too.

    For when you hopefully get your bike back this time… perhaps invest in a tracking device.

    I think Oscar might have this to say: ‘To have a the bike stolen once may be regarded as a misfortune; to have it stolen twice looks like carelessness.’

    I think he just posted this to show his coolness:
    1) Drinks craft beer
    2) Has environmentally aware friends

    You deserve to have it stolen.
