This week on the GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Martyn Ashton is joined by Rich Payne to ask the question, are bike thieves getting more sophisticated? 😳 This topic has been prompted due to the unfortunate event of Frameworks racing having their kit stolen after the Fort William stop of the Mountain Bike World Cup.

I've had 5 bikes stolen in London over the last 35 years (most recent about 15 years ago), last time I reported one stolen, I had to argue with the Police just to give them a proper description, all they wanted was the make and colour and no amount of trying to explain to them that this was a highly customised bike that you couldn't buy off the shelf would budge them from that, so of course I never saw that bike again! Even more recently and because of the wild prices of some of these bikes now, there's a lot more incidents of people getting physically dragged off their bikes too. If you live in any city or large town in the UK you just can't have nice things anymore!

My friend had 2 bikes stolen from the Garage. He saw them advertised on GumTree, the Police weren't interested as it was a 'Rough Estate' . He had to beg on his knees, it wasn't until his uncle, who was a copper in an ajoining set of cops made a few calls that they went in to get them. So the main excuse was 'proof of ownership' - think about it and make sure you can prove you own it. Even then there wasn't a big motivation from the cops to charge the "Scally Wags" who were known to the cops.

We had our bikes stolen here in a quiet neighbourhood in BC. Our bad for leaving them on the car rack, but the bikes were locked to the rack with 3 locks and the rack was locked to the car. Thieves couldn’t get the rack off the car or the bikes off the rack, so they disassembled the rack at the articulating arm and took the bikes and half the rack in one package. They definitely had all the tools they needed. Fortunately we had an unlimited coverage package on our insurance and got completely new bikes, rack, and locks of our choice.

It's crazy that Anna just mentioned insurance on tech a week ago. I can't wait to one day visit the UK, without my bike, definitely going to rent one. As far as expecting this in the U.S. or other countries have to be as bad, here are some interesting numbers. Roughly 175-180K bikes stolen yearly in the U.S. in a country 40 times bigger. Whether you divide that number by 40 or multiply the UK's 77K by 40 it is very eye opening on theft per country. Sorry Martyn, the UK is one of the worst for this.

If you are buying a recent high end used bike and you don't ask to see the sales receipts, warranty paperwork and instruction manuals, you might be part of the problem. The one I don't get is e-bikes. You need the model specific charger and the key (depending on the bike) to move it on. I'm also surprised that high end bikes don't come with a "Passport" like things like Rolex do. Literally a bit of security paper with the frame number on (obviously you can get more high tech with apps and nfc if you want). If you don't have the card, you can't prove it's your bike. Recently I wanted to get a cheap Brompton and couldn't bring myself to buy used because it seemed too likely I'd be buying a stolen bike.

I've had 3 bikes stolen and 2 replaced on home and contents insurance. 2 were later recovered by Police thanks to BikeLinc (Australian version of bike register) - on one occasion it was because a bike shop checked the serial number of a bike being sold to them which led to the thief being arrested.

@@kevb8828 the "Tile" tags allow you to apply for notice free tracking, but you have to register the tag with them. Did some maths, and bikes are twice as likely to be stolen in the UK than the US. In the US it usually happens out and about because of poor or no locks. Thefts from garages are shockingly rare.

Fork out for a battery for AXS or swap the whole thing over. And carrying a bike gets old pretty quick, so there's a high chance that they would dump it pretty quickly if the cops saw them.

A next door family where a PITA, upset rival drug dealers, someone mysteriously pointed them in the general direction of their house, most of the street hated them, and definitely didn't know a thing when the police came around and asked about their windows being smashed in. 🤣 Two weeks later they suddenly moved out. My insurance was unlimited, then two weeks later on the thieving little 🤬who had lived next door and his makes stole my £800 10 year old mountain bike hard tail and £400 of parts from me. So my insurance is now capped at £1000, but at least our street is fine now. Told the police, no interest at all, first person to even bother was the insurance assessor weeks later.

Myself ,I think it all comes down to a lack of punishment in the courts, its no wonder the police can't be bothered. A few years back Iwatched an English documentary about these crimes. There was a bike thief who specialized in stealing bikes at suburban railway stations. They knew who it was and he had been evading the police for 6 months. They said he had stolen bikes worth at least 5/6,000 pounds total.The police found out where he would be and they had a flying squad of 8/9 police burst into the house which he was in in the middle of the night and got him in bed with his girlfriend . All that manpower and the searching which all costs taxpayers money, the costs involved in the courts and the magistrate or judgeI can't remember which, and the lost money of the victims whose bikes were stolen, which they had paid for , and all he got 6 months suspended sentence. It's the same here with the law courts They treat it as a misdemeanor. Same as with the stolen cars. I am from London originally but ended up in a small town they like to call a city, Townsville . Stolen cars capital of Australia

The bottom line is that thieves will only steal something if it's worth it to them and they can move it on easily. The bike industry has created this problem by making bikes / e-bikes desirable items worth making the effort to steal. Bikes are massively overpriced for what they are. Who, in their right mind spends upwards of £8k on a bike and doesn't expect someone to want to nick it from them. I know someone who owns a 'boutique' bike that they bought for a fortune and are now too scared to go out and ride it for fear of it being pinched. It's just sitting their gathering dust. What's the point in that? So if the bike manufacturers decided to make bikes that are more affordable, realistically and reasonably priced, then there would be less of a market to steal them. Haarumph ! Can someone get me some steps to get down of this high horse please 🤣

Insurance: If you have a bike over £5k you need to class 10 lock to have your insurance valid.

I had several bikes stolen as a kid. That paranoia lasts to this day. I keep my bike locked EVERYWHERE I go. Thieves are opportunists, don't give them an easy opportunity to walk off with your stuff!

I'd forgotten all about that guy, didn't notice he'd gone. I saw Adam Walda on a Rob rides emtb podcast. I'm guessing losing sponsors has meant they needed to trim wages.

Just for correctness, you do realiase that a Beagle is classified as a hound, so "Hounds and Beagles" doesn't really make much sense as a title for a part of the show.... I do love seeing the dogs, Beagles and non-Beagles.

Gutted for the frameworks team. However I keep my bikes in the lounge and don't leave them unattended when out, so they haven't been stolen.

I honestly don’t understand the point in using air tags! Air tags notify any iPhone where an air tag is following you that an air tag is following…. So if the person who stole your bike has an iPhone they will know the bike has an air tag within 10 minutes… so what’s the point?

The guys in the Sickest Thing part took the Mountain in Mountain Biking waaaay too serious , Mountain is more of a suggestion of the bike's capabilities to be ridden in Mountainous regions not literally down the side of a Mountain 😮

Do not put your bike on your house insurance. You will regret how your premiums go up after one claim. Get a separate bike insurance. And register your bike, it is free.
