Leahs bike....

is gone!!! It was stolen from our door sometime during the night!!! It was locked, she has a lock that when its open the key stays in it, and when its locked the key comes out...and she has both her keys, so we know that she didnt forget to lock it. She was sooo sad when she discovered it was gone.

Saras bike also got stolen. She got a beautiful bike for Christmas....it was a bike that costs around £500 from new. We got it for £20 through Kristians work. He works for an insurance company, so when the police find stolen things it gets sent to the insurance company. The insurance company have already paid out the insurance money to their customer, so the found items are legally theirs so what they do is hold a sale for their employee´s. There is about 1400 people who work there so you put your name on the item that you want, then a draw is made and if your name is picked you get to buy the object.

Well just before Christmas Kristian saw this beautiful bike and knew it was an exspensive make. He put his name down for it and won. He was able to buy it for £20. Sara needed a bike and so that was a surprise for her for Christmas....well Sara had the bike for 14 days before it was stolen from the train station, like Leahs it had the same lock and Sara had her keys which proves she had locked it.

Leahs bike should be covered by the insurance, we have all the papers etc. Saras unfortunately was not covered as we had nothing on her bike.

Not so long ago the Danish TV put a tracking device on a popular bike and filmed how people stole it. It was amazing to see how organised it was. They put the bike into a van, took it to a workshop and got the lock taken off, put on a new lock and then put it in the second hand newspaper for sale. The lies the woman and man told was wild, they denied everything until the TV people showed them all the evidence that they had against them.

So thats our news for today..... Looks like the next few weeks will be spent out looking for bargins. Let the bike hunt begin¨!!!!
