Wouldn't you think with the price of these bikes, they'd have something more than just a crappy code fixed to the bike, that can be removed or damaged by the thieving scumbags that nick them?

How about a GPS chip fitted into the frame? Like the new smartphones have? Put it some place where you'd have to wreck the bike to remove it, and maybe they won't be stolen any more.

The code on the frame is in a particular place that if you got rid of it would be useless.

Was in the back of a locked van, they popped a lock to get in.

It's sickening having a bike robbed.

Bit late now, but for your next one, have a look at this site, they look pretty good and would think worth it for an expensive bike! Would love to see the nobs faces when you turn up with the cops!

the problem with GPS is that it's only useful where a signal can be obtained. So they would just clip on a led pipe or something similar then when they sell it and the person who buys it takes it off it gets tracked to them.

Do you think that expensive bikes like yours could be 'stolen to order' (like some cars) stored out of sight for a while, then taken to other parts of the country?

There could well be networks of bike thieves operating mad

Some good news, someone is locked up.

Wheels, brakes and forks are now in my possession.

That is good news, how did it come about, you finding out, was the bike broke up, to sell seperately.
