theiving toe rag has fecked my ignition barrel

[pete m]

i found my bike chucked on its side in my garden last night - i picks it up to find a little toe-rag has tried to pick the lock , and now my keys dont work....so ive had to drive in to work today ...what to do ????:(

[Grinch]

Well go home and make sure its really locked good a proper, as sometimes they feck the lock so you can't ride it so they can come back later to nick it.

its a decent point cos of course this happened on the one day in the last year i hadnt locked it to the anchor.....incredible - i spied a horrid toe-rag (sorry cant think of any other word at the mo :mad:)hiding in next doors garden later on - he was prollythere when i went down and picked it up - he looked beside himself with frustration and between throwing up, holding his head, wondering aroound the street aimlessly talking to himself, he did try and return and praps my face at the window put hin off !:cool:

amazinglyhard to sleep in these circumstances btw !!

Well, you'll need to get another ignition barrel, so with it alternate keys etc.


Secondly, get an Almax chain. Expensive, yes, but then how much is your bike worth? probably alot more than the almax chain :D

Maybe you should get a bike cover that you can tie to the bike. My oxford stormex one is pretty good, bit of a faff to get off and the clip is hard to find in the dark unless you know where about it might be

i'd have waited till the little fecker came into your garden and then walked ouot the front door with something menacing resting on your shoulder and a look of intent on your face! :smt067

I'd do what chris said, but I'd walk out with a camera and get a picture of the toe rag (or many pictures) and then post them all over the place

i almost took a picture of him from my flat while he was throwing up but course ghe had a hood up so it wouldnt have helped much, also the police...i had no proof so what s the good...

anyway, new ignition barrel, where from how much, =whats the fitting like, any vols want to help , will get plenty of hot tea and cookies !!! :)

Not a bad job but you need security torx bit to get the old one off.

If you catch the little scro+t you could make him push your bike all the way to the shop.
