Just been out to my garage and found the following have been nicked:

1 Devinci wilson DH bike (http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomme ... pagenum=79)
1 Specialized SX Trail (in white/orange/black)
1 Specialized Pitch Pro
1 Orange Mr XC

They got in through the side window - not sure how, there's no obvious damage but it's a window I never open

Would appreciate if you could keep eyes and ears open and also worth checking your security

Absolute disaster!!!!!!

Don't think I do - there's a lesson there! I got the 1st 3 from Freeborn so will give them a call to ask

Plus normally I chain them all up together - but of course last night I didn't bother as was planning to do some maintenance work today!

Sorry to hear it mate. Had the same happen a couple of years ago. To be honest, even if they chained they will get them if they want them. Insured?

Ah noooo mate - that's worrying - pretty unusual bikes especially the devinci - although saying that gladdice has exactly the same bike!

Any pics of the other ones - get a notice up on Southern DH as well.

Did they nick anything else? Must have had a wagon to take them away.

Think I'm insured but checking the small print now - will more than likely find some exclusion!

Nothing else taken and all left neat and tidy

Thinking about it bit more - must have happened this morning whilst I was taking the kids to school as we went out the back way and would have noticed if the garage window was opened - so I'm thinking it may have been targeted rather than opportunist.

Will get something on southernDH as well

That is just not fair

as you say looks like it was targeted. that wilson is pretty rare as they only come in through freeborn so will keep things pealed
