I wanted to upload the photo of the lock but unfortunately its not possible
anymore. So I'll describe it to you.
Its a combo lock, the wires inside is about 7mm diameter with a plastic
shell over it...

The thief must have cut through it with some cable cutter or something...

cheers,
Tony

Tony,

Have you asked Melbourne Uni security to check the surveillance camera
footage?

My thesis topic is surveillance and I was discussing your situation with my
supervisor (who is an avid cyclist) and he commented that there isn’t a
square inch of campus not covered by a camera – including the new law
school.

that really sux dude, i too have had my bike stolen when i stupidly got
a flat tyre and locked my bike up over night assuming it'd be their in
the morning (grrrr....never again). I assume you've made a police report
about it giving them the rego number of your bike (down near the crank
on my bike).

good luck, keep any eye for it, when mine was stolen i swear i saw
somebody riding it around where i live soon after it was stolen, and i
gave them a good hard look (wondering wether i should chase after them)
but i thought to long and didn't act, that was the only time i saw that
person in my area. So if you do see it get ready to run and catch him
cause it may be the only time you'll see him. CArry the rego number and
police report ref number one you so you can back up your claims.

all in all though its a lost cause :( so good luck

My experience with security camera footage (after a friend's 'secure'
apartment was broken into), is the Police will think "Why do we need
to look at it? We already know a crime happened, and there's a million
and one young adult males wearing nylon hooded jackets. Waste of our
time." :/

Re: Stolen Giant R1000 in Melbourne Uni
Yes I have. However, you'll be surprised that the bike racks aren't covered
by the surveillance cameras.

If you know the new law building area, the bike racks are situated just
outside the building beside the security receiption. However, from where the
security guards are sitting, they can't see the bike racks because there is
a solid wall. There is a camera pointing to another exit of the building
just 10m down the street (pointing to the opposite direction of the bike
racks), however, due to the angle of the camera shot they can't even see any
bikes going past clearly. Also, they are using 3 hours tapes to record 24
hours. That means they'll probably get 3 frames of anyone going past on the
tapes.

These are all information given to me by the security guard in the law
building. I would be very happy if you can prove me (and hence them) wrong,
and tell me that there IS a camera pointing towards the bike racks or
anything else.

cheers,
Tony
