A blog to report the theft of push bikes in the Chelmsford area. For people to post up security comments, observations and warnings. I'd like to use this information here to create improved security at this station and maybe all stations.

Taxi driver inside info

Sorry forgot to mention this.

Last night, speaking to a taxi driver taking me home I found out:

1. The taxi drivers know who the theives at the station are.
2. Groups of kids/teenagers hang around the station on bikes all 'hooded' up
3. When the taxi drivers have notified the police they don't turn up/turn up too late
4. These people are carrying bolt cutters - hardly a small piece of kit

Stations fall under the British Transport Police and Essex Police don't seem too concerned so once again it looks like it falls to us to look out for each other.

PS I will be buying another bike and I will be back to the station. This time with hoofing great locks and chains that will need power tools to get through.
