Seen the shed photo with the shed lock cut off with bolt cutters = single point of failure, make it difficult as possible to 1. break in 2. get stuff out. 3 Alarms. 4. Big f**k off dogs. 5. base ball bat 6. think like a thief, time is very important, the longer it takes to steal something/make noise the more chance they are likely to be discovered.

Not good.
Was this the SX on Gumtree and could that have been how its location was found?

Yes just had a look.
Unfortunately the photos give away far to much information and Google maps active on the ad.

It's a sad world when you can't even sell your stuff.

Agreed, just looked - they knew there were 3 bikes, knew they were in shed in back garden, knew address and knew back garden backed onto open ground........all 'given' on the net.

Lesson to be learned.

i'd be in that leisure centre asking if they have any cctv footage,

this was just too easy for professional thieves.

be wary when you have a bike and other items for sale on fleabay/gumtree etc at the same time too.

a friend of mine got a call about a table and chairs set he had on at the same time as a bike, they rang about the table, got the address and a day b4 they had arranged to "view the table set" the bike were stolen!!!!disbelief
along with another bike he had there!!cry

Instead of other bikes in the background of the photos, he should have put a big Rottweiler.  That would keep the MFs away.  Perhaps we should commission a realistic model of a rottie to lend to TRF members putting bikes on ebay.smile

I crop my Gumtree photos and just have a wall in the background nothing else. Then turn off the map location.

Be nice if the police would set-up a few 'honey pot' advert stings to catch some these pond life.

Police, who are they ? the cuts to our police force means that any extra law enforcement events are just not going to happen.

This has been posted in the Midweek Herald today. Seems like the gentleman thought he might have been followed home?
