BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Crap. What kind of lock? Sorry.

Thanks stefb. It was a cable lock...I thought it was pretty thick.

This is unbelievable,,i had two guys come in my shop with a red silver mongoose and since they would not give me I.D. and with so many thefts lately I turned them down in fact I called the police right after they left as it seemed shaky,The police are coming down to review my video tapes. you can call me for info 412 716 4956

Crap! Thanks for bringing the police in, Craig, and for making your video available to police.. But part of me wishes you had bought the bike.....

Thanks Bicycle Heaven. And thanks for being a responsible shop owner and asking for ID.

I was going to buy it but they would not give me ID and other info and on the tape you can see he got mad because of it,im 60% its the bike as kapapete called me and sounds like the same bike.I do have to be carful I don't want to upset any good customer.

it sucks to learn the lesson this way, but it doesn't matter how thick a cable lock is. even crappy angle cutters can get through it with a firm grip and a sawing motion. u-lock, u-lock, u-lock.

yeah, you said it...it will be a U lock for me from now on.

Police came in today and I was able to get them good video of the two men coming in and out with the bike and with them trying to sell it to me. I think its just a matter of time till they get them as they called me first that day asking if we buy used bikes.sooooo got a tell number to link them.......................I sold two new bikes to day and no one bought a u lock even after telling them tons of bikes are missing this year.I rented out 50 bikes today to Major T and got to help out someone on a stolen bike so it was a good day. lock up your bikes everyone

Good for you on the sales and rentals. I will def remember your store when it is time to get my next bike/supplies. I will nvr be without a U lock from now on, lesson learned.
