    Beware - thieving scumbags

    To warn others my 14yr old son and two friends had their bikes stolen last night outside their friends house in town though they were all chained together. Police informed but I'm sure not much luck on getting them back. Don't know the answer but if your kids have bikes tell them to be extra vigilant.

    Sorry to hear about their loss. Town centre and surrounding area is a theft hotspot.

    Insurance is one avenue to consider in future, if they don't already have cover. Another would be a 'trembler' alarm, sounds-off if bike is moved.

    Stolen bikes

    Thanks for comments, he's so gutted and no insurance and I'm sure the same for his friends. What a downer for Christmas!
    PNP can you recommend a bike insurance that covers theft while out and unattended as will have to get another one soon as he uses it all the time and to get to school.

    Have you checked your contents house policy, may have cover there.

    Hi Pink,
    You could do worse than try British Cycling. However, as with other outfits, they will very probably specify makes/types of lock required. Here's a a link to their site: www.britishcyclingbikeinsurance.co.uk
