Came downstairs today to find my G29 and 36er stolen. The locks had been cut and the thieves left my 700c and piece of crud bike. Please can you guys keep an eye out…

If it were professional bike thieves they would likely swap parts before re-sale to make them less recognizable. I’m not sure that happens with unicycles . If you know the serial number for the schlumpf posting it might increase your chances of getting it back.
I’m already trawling the usual places to sell them off online. Ill pay the second hand bike shops a visit over the next few days.
SOCO came, dusted for prints and said there wasn’t much hope.
Given that the unicycles were taken whereas other unlocked bikes (shared garage) were not leads me to think that the thieves are either idiots or wanted the unicycles specifically.
Unfortunately I dont have any photos of either unicycle in their current configuration.
The 36er has a coker non skid (coker tread) tyre which is all but non existent in the UK as well as a 48 spoke rim and KH frame. It has a shadow bar on the front only with aerobars mounted to the front of that.
The 29er looks like a schlumpfed oracle (no stickers attached) with a hans dampf and t bar. Disk rotor is present but calliper and cable removed to fit on the 36er
Both these unicycles have clipless pedals attached.
eBay do have a process for revealing information to law enforcement agencies without the auction having to end so with any luck Dave will have it back before Christmas!
You reported it to the police, are they able to help?
Also, paranoid in me says we should erase those threads in case the seller visits here. He might be busy doing his ebay-siness -must be prolific with 100% satisfaction from so many buyers- but you never know…
Just curious, any movement on this? I notice the uni’s still up for sale on ebay. I just purchased a used Nimbus Gremlin and had it shipped by the previous owner; it was stolen, still in package, from my front porch yesterday. I filed a police report and will continue to keep an eye out on Craiglist and ebay, and perhaps local pawn shops. Worst and by far the most likely scenario, since it was shipped priority mail, it’s insured, so I anticipate being able to get reimbursed. Still, not sure what to do if I do find it online.
Well today has been a bizarre day. After the auction completed I put a message out to try and reach the buyer. He has got in contact with me and returned the unicycle. Massive thanks to him. Still no news on the 36er.
Apologies as usual for potato photography but ITS BACK!
. If you know the serial number for the schlumpf posting it might increase your chances of getting it back.
Hope you get them back, and the thief gets the book thrown at him.
