RobinJI Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Shit dude, that thing was nice. They not have cameras at the bike lock up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Seeing the few that have been stolen from around unis, I'm happy that i'm going to try and get a flat with some other when I start rather than living in halls. Is there no way you could have taken the wheels off and kept it in your room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 yeah theyve got camera's but i've been away for a week and only just found out. i did have it my room but got boll**ked severals times for keepin it in there, so in the end was easier to have it locked up in the bike lock up, which is inside the halls.meh, hopefully find it or get some money for a new one.

RobinJI Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 yeah theyve got camera's but i've been away for a week and only just found out.Balls, Does that mean they don't have the footage anymore?Keep a good lookout. I had 2 bikes nicked at the same time, and I got one back when a group of mates saw some twat riding it and just demanded it back.I'd be surprised if there wasn't any insurance covering it, as is was actually inside the hall.

I really wouldn't settle for bullshit excuses, if they are going to force people to keep their bikes in that area, surley they have to provide secure storage???Is it possible to get insurance to cover this sort of thing specifically?

craigjames Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 yeah im hoping it'll turn up, wanna go ride!!! hopefully the footage will still be about. bit gay but meh what can you do??might be covered under my household policy...i hopedoubt the halls will have any cover whats so ever, not their responsibility unfortunately, although the the swipe card lock to the lock up is broken.....

Bigman Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Shit man, thats harsh......What halls are you in? are you in the same ones that prawn used to be in? if so you may be able to get some money by saying that they should have got better security etc on the place after having a bike stolen from there before.....Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 nah not from nicks halls, tis rubbish though, especially as my household insurance doesnt cover that bike so im gonna be bikeless for a very long timewhich sucksa lotno more trials for me for a long time, unless i win the lottery lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineasmithpig Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 well, if the lock to the compound was broken, then surely they're at fault for not fixing it immediately? i'd go mental!i used to keep by bike/s in my room in halls. was a right hassle gettin them up 3 flights of stairs, and i ALWAYS used to get bollocked everytime there was a flat inspection. but i just kept ignorin them. theres no way i'd leave a bike worth anymore than £50 outside ever. all mine stay in my room in my shared house, which is on the second floor. again, its a hassle but far easier than paying for a whole new bike!anyways, get on the case and give them trouble. ask for the insurance policy regarding tenants property, and see if theres anything on your contract. it'll probably say they have to provide reasonable security, like the bike lock up compounds, and if they've been left in disrepair, then they aren't full filling that agreement. if you don't know what you're looking for, send a copy over as my missus has just finished a law degree, and we hardly pay any fines or surcharges, because she always finds something to complain about in an agreement! Don't let them get away with it, they treat us students shit enough as it is!smithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 they treat us students shit enough as it is!smithyf**king A! It pisses me off that modern universities seem to see students solely as a source of revenue, and in instances like this were they blatantly are not caring enough about the students once they have got them through their doors they should have their arses kicked! In the real world if you were dissatisfied with a service provider you would just leave, but with universities, because you cant leave they are lax. Security looks good but is shit, administration is pants, buildings look great but are too few for the over subscribed courses! Whenever you can, kick arse, and make the f**kers provide a decent service!right, rant over.Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
