Stolen from integral garage at my house 10 miles south east of York on Sunday morning - neighbour reported hearing a 2t revving hard up the road at 1:30am.

500 quid to anyone that finds it or provides useful information.

Yeah. Thief came in the house, managed to find the key in the kitchen cupboard. Me and the kids (7 and 8 y/old) were upstairs. What if one of them came down for a glass of water or something - disturbed them and got stabbed or something. Doesn't bear thinking about. And takes the incident to a far more serious level, in my view. Whether that means the police treat it this way remains to be seen, of course. Regardless, I don't expect to ever see the bike again.

Great crm too - only really ever had one previous owner. Sounded and rode wonderfully. Just spent on chain slider, talon sprox and DID chain, plus new back tyre. 18k km on it. I'd really been enjoying it just recently as well - found a quarry not too far away and was working it a bit harder than on the lanes - and it was thriving on it, I swear.

Really pissed off about this tbh.

Cheers man. Wouldn't be quite so shite if these bikes were a bit easier to get hold of but of course, being grey and a bit long in the tooth, finding a decent one can take a while. And it might be me being a bit unimaginative, but I can't really think of another bike quite like the crm. Don't wanna go down the 4t route really, tbh. Don't wanna go over to the orange side either. Bloody crm is kind of the only bike for me. Ace tool - half decent road manners, tractable when you want it to be, yet also quick to respond if you need a bit more. And seemingly always having a little bit more to give on top of that. Sad day.

Bob,

Its amazing what risks the scumbags will take, and when they will do it, doubt Police will be interested, just give you a crime number.

Due to the Police not really being interested unless you have CCTV, I had it installed it 10 years ago, and its amazing how quick some door to door callers disappear when they see the dome camera right at the front door, some do not even ring the bell.

I had a few guys come and collect an exhaust they purchased from me on ebay, when the saw the front door camera they ALL pulled up their hoodies (from Birmingham by the way) and hid their faces.

Most houses have been "knocked on" before burglary occurs, just to case the house out, when they see my cameras I hope they just go elsewhere.

Your key was in a kitchen cupboard well hidden away, what are we supposed to do with car, bike or garage keys, are we supposed to sleep with them.

Lets hope they get your bike back.

Yeah I hear yer. Might be time to fit a couple of cameras outside. Even "dummy" ones would probably have the desired effect - or at the very least, act as a deterrent for some of the more easily spooked tea leaves.

Hope you get it back in good condition dude.

Heli - do you have a link to the maplin set up? Is it a kit or do you buy everything seperate?

Its surprising what goes on what you dont see. Parents neighbours have a cam, random strangers wander in their gardens, check for open doors, on cars too - day and night!! Its scary

It's a kit of one camera and one display, nothing else required. Additional cameras can be purchased and you can alter the display to show 1,2,3 or 4 cameras, very simple.

The camera kit is made by Sentient.

My next door neighbour has a kitchen company and has replaced the complicated cctv system in the showroom with one of these, can be connected to a a tv if required.
