Stolen bikes - Leixlip (Louisa Bridge) Station

[JDxtra]

Hi,

Would just like to bring to your attention a number of recent bike thefts from the bike sheds at Leixlip (Louisa Bridge) Station.

Mine was taken on Monday (details below) but apparently at least 2 others were taken prior to this (over the last 10 days) - and I also noticed another cut lock yesterday.

Mine was a silver coloured Trek 4300 (’07 model) with front and rear disc brakes. It has two orange reflectors on both wheels, which I don’t believe are standard.

It was stolen today (Monday, October 22nd) while I was at work. Annoying thing is that I was so careful with it – even double locked it with really decent locks. Grrr!

It has been reported to the Gardai, and Irish Rail will check the CCTV tomorrow – although they aren’t hopeful. I have the full chassis number and serial number.

Thanks.

That's unfortunate. Something I'd like to see RUI push for id recorded CCTV on bike sheds in stations. This is standard in a number of other countries.
