    Bikes secured safely under lock and key ?

    By all accounts that is the reason such locks have fallen from popularity, they are just as easy to pick as thew pin tumbler type, look it up plenty on you tube to show.

    Bikes secured safely under lock and key ?

    Lock bumping makes a noise, if one is inside one would hear it, but traditional lock picking with picking rakes is nearly as fast and probably as fast or even faster with the more skilled operators, but more importantly, it is far quieter. So locks aside from some of the mentioned makes and...

    Stolen Kona Ute

    I second that ! But I asked before and no one answered my question, what happens if someone innocently buys a frame or a bike on ebay or other and finds out it is stolen, added to that, all these parts we buy could very well be the result of stolen bikes. I still search for my stolen M735...

    eBay sniper, what you using?

    I have never used sniping tools, but I always snipe and win. I launch my bid at seven seconds, thus giving the computer, connection and receiver a chance to get it right in the final 6 seconds.

    G4S

    I agree with that, the mp's are covering their own ass by making a big song and dance about it before the public to absolve themselves of any blame and I do suspect given the fact the government are none too popular with the public these days, they are trying to appear credible that being what...

    It would be interesting to discover if MP's have business interests in the insurance scam, the lengths they go to to ensure car drivers have insurance, it makes it look that way, the way the law is protecting an industry by making it unlawful not to have insurance and making it searchable...
