The trike has been stolen

ailbheIt's a lovely red one, lots of hi-vis stickers, so if anyone spots it anywhere in England, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to report it. Without it we're in trouble, because I can't walk very far these days.
We've reported it to the police and are trying to let local friends know, but this was probably a stolen-to-order deal; the trike was taken locks and all, quietly; normally I'd wake if someone was fiddling with it, which people do in passing because it's interesting. It's parked just outside our bedroom window. It's my guess that a couple of men loaded it into a van, and dealt with the locks later.
Bastards.

Date: 2007-03-19 10:20 am (UTC)Every time I get a bike robbed, I remind myself that the cost of a bike is about the cost of insurance on a car for a month, never mind tax, petrol and the cost of the car itself. I know the trike is significantly more, but you've still saved enormously. But bah. The bastards. It's so infuriating knowing that there is no possible way that they could need or use it more than you do.

I hope it turns up and that you will be reunited.
A thousand curses on the thieves who took it. >I-

At least it's insured.

Date: 2007-03-19 11:12 am (UTC)Poor you. Having things stolen is such a nasty violation, let alone something you need so much.

Date: 2007-03-19 11:18 am (UTC)The thieves are bastards, and it's a horrible blow. I know it's somewhat false comfort to try and console myself with thoughts that a car would be more expensive, but for me anyway, I know that playing that kind of mental game at least stops me from physically attacking every bike rider I see in rage whenever my bike is stolen...
