HELP!! MY COMPLETE BIKE COLLECTION GOT STOLEN!!

[harzkristall]

Dear bike community,
this is an absolute nightmare. In the night from the 21. to 22. of december my complete bike collection,a total of seven bikes, got stolen from the locked basement of my appartment in Copenhagen.
all bikes were secured with highend kryptonite locks but the thiefs were real professionals.
here is a list of what i lost:

YETI TI ARC
YETI ULTIMATE
WILDERNESS TRAIL BIKES PHOENIX SINGLESPEED
CLARK KENT F14
CLARK KENT F16
ROCKY MOUNTAIN TI BOLT
SEROTTA CHT

i set up a website with pictures and descriptions of the bikes:

http://www.ukli.dk/stolen-bike-collection-cph.htm

please go there and have a look. in case you see or hear something maybe on a local forum, gazette, shop, etc please get in touch with me and help me getting them back.

my x-mas is obviously spoilt but marry christmas to the rest of the bike community

Man that is terrible :shock: and such a lovely bike collection as well.

We'll all keep our eyes peeled for sure and lets hope you catch the thieving scum.

Wrong section to put this in mind :roll:

I'm sure that the whole of Retrobike will be on the lookout for your bikes

Have you posted on any other forums? Even modern bike forums ones may help, the more eyes looking for the bikes the better

To have one bike stolen is horrible, but to have all of them stolen I don't think there are words allowed on the forum to describe how it must feel

I hope the fleet returns home soon

Best of luck in getting these bikes back. I think it will be very difficult to sell these bikes.

Have the Police been helpful? Its a lot of money and a serious crime.

Thanks for all the kind words and the moral support.
I am a Copenhagen resident since almost sixs years and this was my first contact with the police. Their response was mildely put disappointing. i was not expecting much but their indifference surprised even me.
Guess urinating in public would cause a bigger reaction - i should try sometime.
I think my best chances getting the bikes back are forums like this were people hang out that share the unhealthy bike obsession.Thx.

That is BAD. Sympathy - and good luck with getting 'em back.

That's terrible, and ruined your Christmas, at the least. I think this is the worst news related to bike theft I've ever heard about :x

It's even more annoying, as they were clearly professionals, however, they won't be able to sell 'older' stuff as easily, and probably didn't realise this until they got home with your bikes.

I'm sure you will be searching eBay in case any of the items appear.

Good luck finding everything.

Very sad to hear this, but did you record any frame numbers ?

But to anyone else that has a collection, get the bikes etched and recorded by the plod.
