Stolen: 2012 Dolan Mythos: Manchester area

Timbo13, July 27, 2012

On Wednesday 25th July 2012 at 16:02, a thief stole my bike from within my employer's supposedly secure (and security guard-manned) car park, on Brazenose Street in Manchester City Centre.

The bike is a 2012 Dolan Mythos carbon road bike. The frame is a carbon weave effect (which distinguishes it from earlier Mythos models which were just gloss black).

It has the Dolan logos on the downtube and toptube, and Mythos on the seattube, along with www.DolanBikes.com on the left chainstay.

It is kitted out with SRAM Rival groupset and a massive 11-32 cassette, and has carbon-weave effect bartape.

I can't see that there are too many of these around and about. It's pretty distinctive.

The police are involved and the thief can be seen on CCTV footage, so there's hope yet. However, if anyone spots it out and about, can they let me know ASAP.

I've attached a picture of the bike taken when I picked it up from Dolan Bikes three weeks ago.

3 weeks old?! B*stards.

I'll keep an eye out.

If the bicycle was invented tomorrow, it would be seen as the solution, not the problem

I know, I'm trying to be calm.

Thanks for that reminder Gkam. All duly posted up there now. Apparently the scrote in question returned to the scene of the crime exactly 24 hrs later (to within 10 minutes). Our building security (G4S, natch), decided to escort him off the premises rather than doing anything useful, like getting the police in to arrest him.

Unsurprisingly, we are planning to stake out the scene today, in case he's stupid enough to try it three days in a row.

G4S - I should have known...
