Stolen - Giant TCR Advanced 2 (2012) - Rhodes, NSW
Postby Sydguy » Tue Sep 18, 2012 9:55 am
Storage cage broken into and bike taken late on 17 or early 18 September 2012. The bike was not locked up inside the cage, cage was locked. They cut through the wire door.
No pedals on it, Conti GPS 4000s on rear and Maxxis Refuse on the front (wire bead), red electrical tape on one gear cable near stem. No real identifier that on frame.
This is reported to police, I don't have any recent pictures but it is very stock.
It was fully insured but it sucks to be posting in here. They left a garmin behind on my single speed, and a Giant Seek 1.
Thanks
JM

I'm just about to post that my bike was stolen this week - possibly Monday or Tuesday from Shoreline Drive
Mine was a Giant Anthem X1 2012

Lucky they left my road bike behind - probably didn't recognise the brand and left it
I've given my details to the police as well - they said they would check the CCTV footage today
But yeah, it's probably the same guy

I will ask him to do so, and quote my COPS number. The police would probably already have linked the cases (I hope!).
Hope you were insured, I was told that the storage cage was not covered in Home & Contents unless specifically mentioned, and items listed.
So I mentioned it and got my bike listed, thankfully. Still everyone pays for my new bike as premiums rise and these losers get away with it generally.
Destroyed my back commuting on a track bike, got the train today for the first time in ages.

Unfortunately not, rang the insurance company last night and they only pay up to $500 for theft from a common area (no good if the excess is more than that)Sydguy wrote:Hope you were insured, I was told that the storage cage was not covered in Home & Contents unless specifically mentioned, and items listed.
Had the bike been in the cage I would have been covered
Lesson learnt I guess, have to store them on the balcony now

It's about $100 for a kriptonite mount point, they dyna bolt to the floor, easy to install and next to impossible to get off. The dyna bolts are alan key heads and you get a bb to hammer into the head. I spent a good hour trying to get mine off the garage floor when I moved house and eventually gave up. You can bolt lots of bikes to them as we'll depending of the length of chain you use.

Either case, it's getting quite sad to the point that it's easier and safer to keep your bike indoors...

Two of my bikes were stolen just like yours. I had my bikes locked up in a storage cage in the carpark, with the cage door chained up with a padlock. Chain was cut.
My Giant XTC and my wife's Scott contessa (carbon) was stolen only yesterday.
Police came to dust for finger prints but nothing was found

could this be your bike? Spotted in surry hills.

Sorry for the crappy images - dodgy guy was loitering around waiting to rip off letterboxes in our apartment building. Call me crazy - but he didn't look like the type to pay for his expensive downhill bike.
I put up some more details here on reddit:

Hand grips were something custom (alloy or something) and it had black fox front shocks. Might have been blue tape on the frame - I'm not 100% sure.
Also had a guard or something on the front that would protect against flicked up stones. Not carbon fibre I don't think - but grey and black.
