Last Sunday someone broke into my place at Newtwon and stole 2 bikes:
a red Cannondale F1000 with red Magura brakes (can't be too many of
them about) and a new Giant XTC1 exsmall. If anyone sees or hears
anything of them I'd really appreciate a call on [email hidden].

Sorry to hear it man.

Good luck on getting your gear back - they sound like sweet machines.

Sorry to hear the news, but maybe these ideas may aid in their recover,
because the cops proberly won't find them for you.

My first suggestion is obvious, in that check all the second dealers
(ie: Cash Converters and other Pawn Shops) in and around your area for
the next month.

Suggestion No. 2 relies on you or someone you know being a member of
Ebay. Members can set up email alerts with specific parameters to email
you if a bike (or even some of the parts) similar to yours are listed.

I hope one or two of these suggestions have been useful.

Another thing you could do is send notes around to all the cycling clubs
you can find, with pictures if you have them. I know someone who got
their track bike back that way (track bikes are probably easier to find
becuase people only ride them at a track, which means they then try to
sell them at the track).

Perhaps turning up to a few crits and seeing if your bike is being
ridden by someone else might be worth your while?\

If it was stolen by someone who wants to make it disappear, then there's
not much you can do, but if it was stolen by people who just want to
sell the bikes for quick cash, they may turn up.

The worst thing you can do is wait for the police, they don't have the
resources.
