Hi people, My early 1960's BATES stepthrough was stolen recently from East Brunswick. Its such an eye catcher I'm sure someone will see it. Metallic gold with a stunning original pinstripe finish. Silver braided gear and brake cables. Black with silver fleck handle bar grips. 5 speed. One of the tidiest BATES i have ever seen.

I had my bike stolen from Melbourne Uni today. It was a black women's Giant CRX4 bike. I had locked it to the bike rack on Elgin St next to the School of Earth Sciences between 2pm and 9pm with a basic cable lock.

Thanks Treadly and Me,
We figured as much - Unis do seem to be hot spots - ( I had one stolen from Sydney Uni a few years back) - its would seem reasonable ask for unis to provide better bike parking facilities on campus for this reason.

I don't have any specific examples or data to hand, but Melbourne Uni is known as one of the bike theft hot spots of Melbourne.

Disabling the bike could have been a tactic to allow the original thief to come back later and strip it at their leisure. But it could just as easily have been opportunistic thieves--a bike without a front wheel that hasn't been removed for a few days might look abandoned, and abandoned bikes tend to get treated as public property (for example see Abandoned Bicycles of New York).
