I get a bit fed up when people join to sell something

[mikeekim89]

odd one here.. left my Zaaskar, unlocked outside a shop at kick out time at school, no one nicked it, but i got alot of glances, but a year before, i got a halfords bso nicked outside the same shop.. i think a more well built bike, thet looks better built makes them re-think the theft, and the fact they'll get there arses handed too them if they do take it..

Hang on a minute - now I'm no genius, mind - but a year earlier you got a Halford's BSO nicked from outside of a shop, and a year later you left your Zaskar unlocked outside the same shop?

Is this some kind of devil-may-care mid-life crisis, or thrill-seeking or something? Or are you just not feeling the love for your Zaskar any more?

Puzzled of Tunbridge Wells.

No, just people think twice when you've got through been jumped by a few guys with just a few cuts

No doubt.

In my experience, bike thieves tend to be opportunistic, see a bike, unlocked or not secured very well, and off they go.

Can't say as I've noticed any of 'em sizing up the owner before deciding to liberate 'em - but in fairness, can't say as I've knowingly seen many bike thieves outside of reality TV programmes and youtube, either.

At the risk of bringing this thread back to something vaguely resembling the original topic; I have no problem at all with people joining up to sell things.
It keeps the bike building and replacement parts market from dwindling and often throws up a few bargains.

I do find it more frustrating however, when people who more regularly buy or sell things but don't bother to link up their feedback thread to their signature.

Leaving and reading feedback is good and indeed it's part of the forum usage guidelines, but I can't really be bothered trawling the feedback forum every time I consider buying or selling something.

i opened my front door in summer time last year and witnessed a chav joyriding a milkfloat...mounted the pavement and crashed thru a brickwall into the house across me into its garden.....they will steal paving slabs if they could pick em up...

This is mainly a sign of your actual area and not the town in general tony

And the feedback thingy.........I do not actually know how to link them up as computers are not my strong point
