I hope to start a thread on your story if you ever had a bicycle/s stolen.
I've had 2 and the first was a Raleigh way back around in 1965.
We used to go to a derelict house ( Ghost House) on Nth East Rd ( where Suzuki or the tatto shop now is) and left our bikes outsdie the house. I was under 10 years old at the time and somehow reached the pedals on this red 27" Raliegh, it was the best bike I had at the time.
When we came out running scared, both our bikes were gone !
The other bike was one of those heavy framed original PMG ( Post Master General postman's bike) belonging to a neighbor.
There were several "ghost houses" in the area back then before development on Nth East Rd..
I got another bike to get to school with and that was stolen to. I know who stole it, but could not prove it was who I know it was, so I got ANOTHER bike and I have that bike back from another family dude who hoards things.....,
But the Ghost House Bike still haunts me to this day, it was passed on to me by family and just wished it was not that bike that got strolen cos I had to beat another cuz to get to it first when it became available, any other bike I could not care, but not that particular red Raliegh.
If by chance you are reading this and you stole my bike from the grass bushes in 1965, I want to know what happened to it, is it still "alive" ?
Anyone with a story to tell on how their bikes were stolen might help us understand the lengths some of these low life theives go to.
Today I met another person who had thier motoredbike stolen while they were at work, 2nd person now to have a motoredbike stolen that I know of in the short time I been invloved with motoredbikes.
