Came back tonight to find our Bikes were stolen from below the BTS in Pleonchit, proper gutted as we both ride them every day, though people have tried in the past no ones ever managed to steal them as they are always locked with tough locks. Their bolt cutters trumped our chains this time though...

Shockingly the police at Lumpini station were more than helpful and drove us up to where there were taken, looked for CCTV and so on, our best bet though is if someone manages to spot them...... I often see guards riding around sois on 100,000 baht bikes.

If you see either of them please give me a call on 0869883302

Trek Bronze colour womans bike

Bianchi Roma 2 with a Green leather Brooks saddle

I feel for you.

Had my custom built carbon fibre racer lifted. B**stards climbed onto my balcony and stole it.

I would be a bag of nerves leaving a bike chained up in BKK.

sorry for you both Chris...maybe there is chance since they may stand out a little

Will be getting a Kryptonite hardcore lock for my other bike.....

I demand ransom money.

Hope u get them back.

They are both the only ones of their kind in Thailand... so who knows.

it takes a 20 Baht pencil to open a Kryptonite New York Chain.

I recommend ABUS:

Those were the old Kryptonite locks, they changed them about a year or so ago....... funny enough it was an ABUS chain that I had on this bike that got sliced off.

: (

Just wandering is the cat removable, I was thinking it may be easier to spot that bike if it isn't!

Sorry to hear, hope you get bikes back. And wish very karma on the ones who stole your bikes!!!!

Bastards! Sorry to hear that Chris...

I'll keep my eyes open (as I live in the neighbourhood)...

I'm going to be more careful with my motorbike too!

I had a Honda 250 enduro when lived in Chiang Mai and wore a nice Arai Freeway helmet which I brought from the States. I used to work at McCormick hospital a lot and parked out front. The helmet got stolen. then 2 months later it was put back. It had a couple scratches on it but otherwise it was ok. I guess they didnt like it.

sorry to hear.... and hope you found your bike shortly ka.

Sorry to hear about that. I would be so pissed!

There is a reason why lotus sells bikes from 400 baht up... sad bad true..

let it go, the more you think about it,the worse you feel.

yep, it wasn´t the chain - it was the lock mechanism. Sorry to hear about the ABUS. Thieves tried to steal my bike in front of my office. They tried to crack the lock but the Abus resisted . There have been a few minor scratches on the frame, but the bike was still there.

A milled frame is very much useful in case of theft. If often keeps thieves off. But I guess that does not work in Thailand. However it would help you to prove that you are the legal owner (after you have knocked the thieves head off..)

One fine day this guy will cross you way..
