Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

Wifi jammer and angle grinder used to break in to garage and cut through Kryptoflex steel cable. The bike has an electronic lock but not the Bosch GPS, I wish I had installed it.
All Emtbers - this is my second eMTB that was stolen.
Bike security paramount - USE GPS, and effective theft protection.
I don't think I am going to get it back - so good bye Orbea!
I remain as an honorary member.....

Which area of the UK was this?

Welcome
Sorry its not under better circumstances

Sorry to hear this. Will keep eyes open in South / West Wales.

Just seen this one scary.

It is good to care a gun with you when you are riding. Those suspects would be dead already here in the US.

Wow, that is horrible. Friggin scum. Hope they get caught.and you get your bike back. I store my bikes in my basement. So, if they want them, they better be able to dodge a .45 cal...which is doubtful. Maybe all will turn out well and the theif will get hit by a bus.

Leftie gubments have asked law-abiding citizens to stand down and allow them to take what they want in exchange for your "safety".
Not gonna happen in my world.

Well in (most of) the rest of the world, private citizens aren't allowed to carry firearms...

Our options are limited...

Unless the thieves carry a bigger gun plus they have the element of surprise so no, that doesn't work . . if they want it they'll get it regardless hence the OP - if they're carry angle grinders and wifi jammers then adding a gun isn't going to be an issue for them.

Too many people with main character Rambo fantasies.

Or, not enough people. I'd rather have people never be a victim...and I'd rather never have repeat offenders...just dead offenders.

"Give everyone a gun and we'll all be safe from the bad guys!"
That's working out just great for y'all . . even drunk Russians manage to be more sane!

I forgot...guns walk around killing people. You frigging people who think there aren't nut cases out there baffle me. And the US unfortunately has more than it's share of unresponsible idiots. You can walk around unarmed all you like. As for me...I'll take my chances armed. And, if god forbid you ever have a life threatening problem and there is someone there to defend you with a gun, I doubt you'll ask them to kindly put it away.

Mine got stolen in Brussel, Belgium, got it tracked for than a month(could not made a close connection with it but found the place where the iPhone “heard” the AirTag ). It was in town, so very difficult to enter all the houses and buildings…
Police will not help ... , once in a house or building thy need an official mandate and this is never done for bikes
So after more than 2 months of regular updates on the same location it moved, guess where!? (It left Belgium)
And even now it get updated, less often however…

Over a bike. Seriously get a grip. You're talking about shooting someone dead. Over a bike.

Mate, you're more likely to shoot yourself or a loved one.

I was talking in a much broader context than stealing a frigging $8,000 bike. Such as if a home is broken into etc... If I'm riding and someone tries to steal my bike...first place they'll probably get the ass kicked...secondly, I would never shoot someone over stealing a bike a bike. HOWEVER...Break into my house when I'm home, your ass is fucked.

What's really fucking pathetic is people making excuses for crimes and criminals. Oh, his life is worth more than a bike. The criminal makes the decisiopn what his life is worth. It's REAL simple...don't be a criminal. And, if you don't want to get your life ended, follow the law and let people be.

Lol. What a moronic comment. I guess you don't believe in facts then.

In every country where guns have been banned the citizens are safer. It's not up for debate.

If the ebiker can get his hands on a gun, you can be certain that a criminal gang can. What's your pistol going to achieve when you're surrounded by 3 guys with shotguns? Go on, pull out your Glock and see what happens.

Better to be without a bike than without a skull.

Yeah...you keep beating that losing drum. It's the reason the United States was founded. Tyranny.

Unsure how it's a losing drum. I mean it's literally fact thst the US has significantly more gun crime than anywhere else. You've had 16 school shootings this year so far (82 last year) and around 5000 people shot to death this year so far... Seems pretty tyrannical to me.

How do your politicians, dignatiries and mucky mucks stay safe? With a handshake, hope and prayer...lol? Pretty sure they are very well protected. You do whatever you want...or are ALLOWED to do. There are cookoos everywhere. I'd rather be allowed to protect my family than beg for help that may or may never arrive. There's a reason we've never been invaded on our soil. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

You've never been invaded because of private gun ownership? Lol. Yep.

Largest...most well armed private citizens and or army on planet earth. It isn't even close to any other country. This absolutely is a deterrent to any invasion. This comes with responsibility. Some in the US are irresponsible unfortunately.

Yeah, that's definitely it. Your glock is saving the country. Nobody is worried about your enormous stockpile of nukes, it's definitely the hillbillies with concealed carry that's stopping the invasion. I guess you have to be this level of stupid to believe the NRA though.

The reason the US was founded was to simp for the NRA? Whodathunkit.

And yes, I'll keep losing... Stuck down here with zero school shootings, knowing my children are safe in school whilst you guys are winning in global school shootings and gun deaths by a country mile. Keep up the good work...

I'll just leave this here... Summarises it pretty well.

Go ride your bikes. To debate one freedom over another is really pointless. Just vote for your country to never expect or want any military help from the US. I'd LOVE for the US to send zero military aid of any kind to any country. Keep it all here. We'd have tens of trillions more in the bank. And most of you wouldn't know your native language.
