I know cannondales have a bad rep on here, but I would like mine back!!

It was stolen today from a local shopping centre, both locks saw bolt cutters and were left behind, no CCTV apparently and the security don't seem to realise that bikes are actually worth money nowadays.

Image

Bournemouth area, its registered on bike Shepard, I don't have the serial number but it's an easy to recognise bike.

Sods law that my only two posts on here so far are one buying the bike and one reporting it stolen. It's on eBay for sale by myself (ID; socialseller) so don't raise the alarm if you see this. The listing is being removed today.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry to hear that and good luck getting it back!

In my mind if they had bolt croppers they must of either planned it or of been driving round in a van/van nearby to get it out of sight. :(

My thoughts exactly chris, was only at work for 3 hours today so it must have been done earlier rather than later as it gets very busy.

Only 3 hours :? durty scumfkers :x

Tempting to lock up a nice bike then watch it discreetly from a distance,If they are going round in a van you can start shouting 'thief' then take the number down.
Not accusing any minority group here but the majority of scumbags who drive vans in their scumbag trade live in caravans.

OK.well i suppose i am but lets face it theres not much honesty amongst them.

Not suggesting it's yours, but a replacement maybe?

I've got one in yellow - nice bikes.
