My son and hubby's bike was taken from our carport this afternoon. Baba and I went for a walk around lunch time, the bikes were still there - around 4pm is when we discovered they were gone. My son uses it to ride to swim training at Panmure Lagoon - he is a competitive swimmer for Mt Wellington Swim Club.
Cheeky too as the said person/people WAITED or seen us walk out (long driveway at the back) and then made their move. So - if anyone saw anybody with 2 mountain bikes still chained together coming along from Harwood Road - please let us know.
In the meantime - he will have to catch the bus to training which I have been trying to avoid him catching public transport (pandemic...)
Unfortunately we did not etch anything into the bike - I had told him to chain both bikes to the carport pole but he said "no one ever comes down this long driveway anyway) - It's just a block of 4 units.
This is the only pic I have of his one.
Thank you

The 139-year-old wall in Auckland's CBD is being painstakingly dismantled to make room for the country's largest infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.
It will take about three months to deconstruct the wall which will eventually be moved one metre east towards Queen St.
Stonemasons are cutting it into 1800 blocks, numbering each block and storing them safely off-site until the wall is rebuilt in 2023.
“It’s going to be a bit like fitting a jigsaw together except all our pieces will be rocks, not bits of cardboard or wood, there will be no missing pieces and we’ll know where every piece fits,” said Aotea Station manager for the Linke Alliance, Matt Sinclair.
The bluestone wall was built from local material by contractor Daniel Fallon in 1881 during a time of major infrastructure expansion in Auckland.
The wall's underground public toilet was one of the city's first.
The wrought iron railings, piers and the ornamental arch over the stairs on the side of the wall are some of Auckland's last remaining examples of street furniture dating back to the Victorian age.
The public toilet, which has been closed for some time, will not reopen because of space constraints.
But the toilet's cast iron screens will be restored and reinstated on site.
The toilet's entrance will be used as a maintenance access for the City Rail Link.
The new 150-metre long section of tunnel being built by the Link Alliance will connect the new Aotea underground station with the tunnel already built from Britomart Station.
Shakespeare Tavern owner Sunny Kaushal said the iconic pub will remain open during the wall deconstruction nearby.
"We have to otherwise we can't survive at all because we're struggling with mounting debts and also keeping the staff who we've been trying to support for the last three and a half years," he said.
"We've been affected by the City Rail Link really seriously, then Covid happened," he said.
"This has been a double whammy for us."

Thieves broke into their storage shed during the weekend and spread faeces over the group's materials and containers.
The ladies, who meet at the Howick Ambulance station hall, donate all their profits to St John.
Culprits also stole suitcases and three Christmas hampers which the ladies put together out of their own money for a fundraising raffle for Howick Ambulance.
The teddies and quilt are all handmade.

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:
- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.
We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.
