That's terrible to hear, it almost sounds as though they knew what they were after (or were at least a cyclist) since they took the clipless shoes as well. Have you got a photo of it to circulate?

bit gutted but thankfully no one injured and only material stuff that can be replaced by insurance.
I work an early morning shift and get home early. My wife works office hours. There is only a very small window oportunity about an hour where no one is home? The police suggested a car/van was used because of speed of get away and the number of heavy/bulky items. they had a patrol car in the area at the time of the 000 call by neighbour. They also said a bit uncommon for a front door in a block of units to be targeted.

Mine is the one on the right. It had shimano dura ace cl24 wheels at the time of theft not the carbon clinchers as pictured.

Most likely targeted theft. Do you live in one of the high rise apartment complexes Nayfen? One of my colleagues lives in one and has had a couple of run-ins with people trying to get into the secure parking to steal bicycles and whatever else people are silly enough to leave down there. I reckon there's a good chance they saw you riding that fancy looking bicycle back to your apartment and that made you a target .

We once had a guy shimmy up the drain pipe onto our balcony (we were on the second floor) and try to steal our bicycles and break into the apartment. Fortunately we woke up and scared him off - he dropped a bag of goodies from next door, who were relieved to get their gear back! It sucked to have to lock my bicycle up on my own balcony .

The bike was inside my unit. They put a crow bar into the door and tore the locks out of the timber front door. 5 other units in the block But they knew which one to target. Thats not lucky dip?

what kind lock do you use?

gainsbrough. The locks were still relatively intact. The intruder/s split the timber door and prized the locks out. new door new locks now

Hey Nayfen,

How did you go mate, did you get your gear back? Where in Auchenflower was this taken from? I live in Auchenflower too

So many scum bags out there...
