Three Bikes Stolen Begbie Street Area

[KathyJ]

Just discovered my two bikes and my sister's bike have been stolen from our underground parking. They were well secured but someone cut all the locks and chains. If anyone hears of these trying to be sold, can you please let me know?

Specialized Triple Sport road bike, ladies, white, with fenders. It has a sticker from Riders Cycles and a Tripleshot sticker with my emergency contact info on it under the top tube of the frame.

Second bike identical to above but essentially brand new. No fenders and cage style pedals.

Specialized Vira Sport hybrid bike, ladies, white, with fenders. It has a sticker from Oak Bay Bikes and a Tripleshot sticker with my emergency contact info on it under the top tube of the frame.

I don't have pictures of the actual bikes but they look similar to the attached.

Needless to say, I'm heartbroken and would love to get my bikes back. And I won't be there for the ladies ride in the morning.

Every bike owner sympathizes and feels badly for you Kathy.

It sounds like the whole Shelbourne corridor has been getting some unwelcome attention: http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local ... -1.2173679

Go to our place, rock bay landing and tent city and ask around....and look around...maybe offer a reward.
I had a bike stolen from mcd. pandora and got it back a week later.

Also besides reporting it to the police...go to the police station and fill out a form. Hand out your bike info to police on the street.
If you want more info.on this...or help ,call me at 250 419 2426...Paul C.

Thanks for your kind words and suggestions.
Vic PD reacted promptly to my online report and they have all the details.

I would suggest to others to take pictures of bikes and serial numbers "just in case".
The police officer said the Tripleshot decal with my contact info under the top tube might prove to be very helpful.

The other thing you can do is go and look for them...I have found both bikes we have had stolen in Victoria...From experience what I have noticed is that they don't go very far so start with places near by. It is tough carry 3 bikes at the same time and look honest so look behind hedges, in back yards, at the school, in the creek, you might just get lucky!
