thought you guys should get this arrived in my inbox this from JAMES - mcc
Was parking in the Sydney CBD yesterday (Sussex Street, near the construction work) and on my way back to the bike was stopped by one of the construction workers.
He told me that they had seen a couple of guys in a van stop, get out, and check out all the parked bikes. The guys took off when they saw the construction guys writing down their number plate.
They also said it's not the first time they've seen the guys, either.
They described the vehicle as a plain white econovan or similar, with numberplate TCT-959.
Just a warning to everyone who parks in the Sydney CBD, keep your bike locked. If these guys are planning on pushing bikes into a van, even a steering lock is better than nothing, but a disc lock or best of all, some sort of lock that will lock your bike to a post or your mates bike or
something.
nb - why have a saying like "Ride it like its Stolen" plastered on all your memos - seems counter productive to many peoples work trying to improve the image of bike riders in NSW.
