Stolen - s6-whistle patwin mountain bike

[gudguitar 10]

Please everyone be aware that there is a thieving scrote operating in and around Stannington.

My wife has had her pride and joy stolen from inside our garage,a Whistle-Patwin

mountain bike in orange and white colours.

If anyone is offered one please make sure the seller has a purchase receipt otherwise you may be buying a stolen bike.

Any information which would help in it's return would be welcomed.

My fingers are crossed.

Personal taste aside, it's true that you don't see too many Whistle bikes around. Go Outdoors do them I think, as did Towsure by mail order - wouldn't know where else to look for that brand in Sheffield

 

Keep an eye on Gumtree and eBay. My experience (of a successful recovery) is that thieves know people get bored of looking after a few weeks and eventually list when they feel it's not as hot

 

So search eBay, save your search and set it to email you when items are added matching your search. Be a little specific - not overly so but enough so you don't get emailed every time someone lists any old mountain bike or an antique penny whistle - but also keep checking manually every few days

Worth popping in and giving them a heads up.

You should probably join the police, or maybe teach them with your investigative powers.
