Where’s your bike?

You wouldn’t hold out much hope of getting your bicycle back if it was stolen right? But imagine getting it back before you even knew it was gone!

Docklands Rotary president Ann Ellis received a call from Bike Force in Harbour Town last month asking whether she knew where her and and her husband Adrian’s bikes were.

“Chained up to our cage downstairs,” she replied.

Wrong.  The bikes had been very recently stolen and recovered by police at Footscray.

The police saw the Bike Force stickers on the steeds and got in touch.  From there is was just a matter of matching the bikes’ serial numbers and a phone call to Ann.

“Talk about efficiency,” a clearly delighted Ann reported.
