Hibbies Whyte Bike stolen - seen it?

[andyf5]

I did a charity bike ride in my Hibs strip in June on my new bike but got it stolen outside the White Lady Corstorphine Thu at 1930. If anyone sees it perhaps they can pm me? The ride was private and not associated with the club but happy to send links to the photos of me in my Hibs strip cycling 1000km through France.

Its a Whyte Stirling with distinctive orange metal. Also a Boardman bike belonging to my friend. If you see it, its a long shot, but you can let me know. Frame number F705S1681 Thanks

Social Media.. Twitter / Facebook..

[andyf5]

ah Social Media. Yes on Facebook and Twitter but thought I'd get more reach here. 14 followers on Twitter :-(

[BigKev]

If you could get the cctv and post on FB it might help catch the lowlifes who stole them. If it's the pubs system that caught them they should help out. Good few Hibbies drink in Winstons.

Can you not get photos/stills from the CCTV and get them on social media if the police are not "interested"

Although,sadly, bikes get stolen every day,the Old Bill will not prioritise that.
Unless it was worth about 10 grand and stolen in Ravelston Dykes!

However,for more exposure it may be worth contacting the news desk at the Edinburgh Evening News.
They may do a piece on it,as your bikes were used for Charity fundraising.
Will or have the polis allowed you to see the footage and will they give you a copy?
They would maybe give the "News" a copy?
Always worth a try.



On the pub itself,Winstons and The Harp(Toby)
The area is my day time drinking haunt.
Indeed in all 3 bars a few Hibernian regulars can be found.
Some ST holders too.
However, the ones i know would be busy riding the 26 bus with their concessionary passes than getting on a 2 wheeler.


Awe the best !!

Have you tried the 'Stolen Bikes' site. There are a few e.g. https://stolen-bikes.co.uk/locations...and/edinburgh/

My reason for suggesting it is I found an expensive bike and was able to return it to the owner within 24 hours through one of these sites. The process worked well. Obviously an outside bet but lots of bikes are dumped.

I never updated my insurance and had my last bike for 17 years so I wasnt too worried....

Not necessarily, I remember a couple years ago a Lamborghini was stolen from some rich hairdresser in merchiston in a house breaking and the guy ended up going to the papers saying he has been appalled why they've not taken it so seriously and there was major back lash from others saying why should his expensive car that's been stolen be treated any differently to a stolen micro or what not! It ended up being crashed and abandoned on Pennywell Road.

PM me the details of both, I will put on the Edinburgh Bike Forum and twitter

Also, might sound obvious but keep an eye on Gumtree / Ebay - some thieves are so thick they advertise straight away in the immediate area

If the bikes were at the railings on the street at the White Lady entrance.these guys are not shy.
Were the bikes "locked" to the iron fence there next to the traffic lights and adjacent shops?
Thursday evening in June?
The area and the pub would have been busy,as would the pub terrace overlooking the street
If the thieves used cutters,someone must have seen them and ignored it

Can understand the Police not being interested in a single bike theft but what you are describing is a team of guys committing numerous thefts of high value bikes in the same area of the city. Think the Police need to get a plain clothes team with a honeypot bike to tempt the ****s as they will continue with their spree until caught.

Hope you get your bike mate.

Plod will still be flat out looking at obscure pictures of exuberant Hibs fans thrashing the rangers players to within an inch of their lives and interviewing all the witnesses who seen it all.

Nice to read fellow Hibernians Raleigh round in support of your efforts to get back on yer bike.
Hopefully your contact at the "news" is able to do a story on this and pump up the pressure on PC Owen Yerbike,to get the wheels in motion,and put the brake on these guys activities







I know......

[givescotlandfreedom]

Have you checked around the former railway path between Roseburn and Leith? It's quite common to see stolen bikes dumped to the side there. Wee dicks do the same with mopeds and motorbikes too.

[essexhibee]

Keep an eye out on Gumtree/EBay etc also. When I was at uni my mates bike got stolen and he found it being sold on Gumtree in the local area.

A long shot I know but maybe worth a try. Hope you get it back.

I know nothing about bikes these days.
Although i used to construct bikes in my youth.
I am though assuming the bikes mentioned are quite expensive.
My thought then is that the bikes are being stolen to be sold on to a dealer.
This disnae sound like a couple of wee guffie opportunists stealing bikes for a laugh,then dumping them.

I go to Winstons now and then.
When i do go,its usually mid/late afternoon.
Last pit stop before getting the bus home.
Any night time bevvying is usually the Clerry Inn.
If you are referring to Paul Hegarty's brother ,i cannae be sure if he drinks there now.
Kevin was a year or two above me at school (if is the same Kev)
