Mate's Raleigh Trent Tourist robbed from Cowley, Oxford - 03/06/24

[wafter]

It's a lovely old bike and much-missed. Fairly distinctive given its age / style, the massive basket and fat saddle.

Taken from a garden (where it wasn't visible from public property) and worth next to nowt financially, so probably nicked by one of the local smackheads to chase their dealer around the city.

Hoping I might see it around; please keep an eye out of you're local / frequent the usual sales sites!

It could have been a scrap man. Some of my neighbours have caught them taking things out of their gardens without permission.

That's a horrible thought, but I don't think it's likely - IIRC it went overnight so most likely addicts creeping from garden to garden under cover of darkness..
