Default People will nick anything won't they!?

Grrrr......

My house is right next to Hitchin railway station and I leave my bike parked up under cover in one of the motorcycle bike shed type things. Quite useful - elevated pole to chain too, etc. all very nice.
Anyways, I knew I wasn't going to be using it much last week so I put my oxford bike cover on it - and someone's gone and bloody knicked it over the weekend!

Wandered round the car park and asked in the station just in case someone's just lobbed it over a fence, but no joy.

At least they didn't nick the bike...

I had theives cut strategic holes in mine to see what equipment it had on it. They finally set off the alarm trying to get the exhaust off.

Maybe when you get another, get some long chain to wrap around the bike in the centre holding the cover down? better than that silly little clip!

Pretty lame really, but I guess someone wants a nice cover for their stolen GSXR

You need cover for your cover.
