“I know you don’t normally do this but… I’ve just this afternoon arrived back from holidays to find some fupper has stolen my bike. A fairly new black Trek FX 7.2 that was locked twice in a secure apartment block on Castle Avenue in Clontarf [Co Dublin]. If anyone sees it [or saw at it between Tuesday 17th to Saturday 21st of June] please get in touch below.”
