[s]My girlfriend’s bike has been stolen from outside Vuosaari Metro station, it was locked to one of the bike racks and I honestly can’t believe that somebody would go to the effort of cutting the lock when there are literally thousands of bikes around Helsinki that you could just pick up and walk off with because they aren’t secured to anything!

Pedals, grips and brake blocks are now different from the picture.
Pretty please keep an eye out for it around the city and online, if you spot it lock it up and contact me via PM on here.
Kiitos!

I’ll keep an eye out. I would recommend adding your phone number to the post, so people can contact you with sightings.
They must have cut the lock, but there’s no sign of the lock either!
I don’t have a Finnish phone number, messages on here are e-mailed straight through to my phone so it’s the same thing really.
i guess the same dudes stole my bikelight today in vuosaari. Hope u find your bike soon!

Ok then. Just not showing up on my phone.
This is fucked! Such a beautiful bike.
Picture fixed, looks like Dropbox isn’t a fan of sharing direct photo links!
I really hope we get it back, my poor little lady is distraught!

Well, we’ll keep our eyes open. Good picture and the bike looks quite unique, so hope that increases the chances of finding this.
Anyway, this sucks.
HUGE thanks to ‘Falle’ who found this bike today.
It is now safely back on my balcony and I have one very happy girlfriend.
If you have a couple of minutes you can read about it here…
