Whilst on an Xmas errand (yawn) today, I happened to park up near Flitwick Motorcycles, which was a hive of activity - strange as they close Mondays. Wandered along to see what was happening, only to be greeted by a forlorn Steve Linsdell.

Yet another smash & grab break-in last night. IIRC, all new Yams, an R1, MT10 & MT09, with damage to several other bikes. Looks like the mark of an EE gang it seems, with the front doors battered in, despite various security measures. Nearest plod were miles away & took what seemed like an age to arrive, so little hope of identifying the culprits & the bikes are probably well on their way into Europe by now. A nice Xmas present for any SME family business.........not. The poor guy has been ram-raided, S&G'd as well as a failed attempt over the roof FFS. Looks like grills & shutters time, the fort Knox approach, with the obvious worry that these scumbags will be back for more in the meantime. There have been several other more petty break-ins to businesses around the area recently too; thankfully not the ATMs yet. How can we rid ourselves of this low-life. I suspect the place was cased in advance, so CCTV may yield something - probably no more than the back view of a couple of hoodies though.

In the locality, we all do our best to support traders like Steve & his family. 'Use it or lose it' . Many on here will know him already through his IoM exploits & those of his lads Ollie & David. Very sad.
