shit man not good at all!!

Steve is (if I'm correct) based in SHEFFIELD - people look out for them.
Both pretty distintive bikes so fingers crossed eh?

Stuck on Bike Radar for you mate here - http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15353353#15353353
You might want to reply to post some contact details!

[grgos]

Aghh bad news Steve p  like iain 1775 say fingers crossed...

[domino0]

Holy Shit, wat could have happened to me, sucks man, sorry to hear it!! I have been attempeted 4 times, once they got into the garage but our alarm scared them away 

[Steve P]

Edited - Found the Soul frame number - added.

[fly6154]

Feel for you Steve.

[Steve P]

Cheers mate.  Loved those bikes.
Neither of them were exactly stock - both had a lot of my time & effort sunk into them.
I feel wiped out by it.

They were nicked from my garage which is a brick built extension onto the house - so I'm hoping will be covered for full replacement value.  Will hear from the loss adjuster in a few days.

Meantime am going to reinforce the garage door...

Just want them back though.  Don't really want the hassle of having to replace them both.  Wouldn't be the same either.

Steve get these

We got them after 4 break ins, and tbh they look indestructible. One each side of the door, and all you see is 4 tiny bolts and the bit for the key to go through

[RAFChris]

That sucks big time Steve, feel for you buddy. Will keep an eye out just in case, you never know. Have you got the frame serial numbers noted down so you can give them to the cops?

[domino0]

Also get an alarm tht links to the main house

Cheers for that, they look good. The cop suggested 2 things.
1. Drill 2 or 3 10mm holes into the bottom lip of the garage door, and corresponding foot deep holes in the garage flloor.  Drop some thick 12" tent pegs into the holes.  Anyone trying to get in won't be able to without creating a hell of a noise.  Cheap as chips.
2. Baby monitor in the garage.  About £40 ish

Have you got the frame serial numbers noted down so you can give them to the cops?

Cheers.  Yep, cops have them.
The Meta was also on Bikeregister & fitted with a Datatag.  Hopeully if recovered that will help.

I'm off to do some drilling 

[bong69uk]

That is harsh dude,hope u get fully compensated by the insurance. wee buggers eh,and the worst bit is that they will prob only sell em for a fraction of what they are really worth,a total insult to the bikes. Get a huge Rotwiller and let it sleep in ure garage,that will be a beauty of a surprise for em if they ever try again 

Also have u tried putting something on pinkbike??

[Electrogiirl]

So sorry to read this post.  Your bikes become part of you dong they?

Hope they turn up and the bast£&d(s) that nicked em die a slow and painful death.   

[damo]

Steve, sorry to here about this.  bastards want stringing up. Will keep an eye out whilst out around Lancs.

Keep your chin up mate. My guts are twisted for you, I can't imagine how you are feeling!

Hope to see your riding pics on here again soon!
