5 cali van man
I was surprised on Thursday afternoon to notice that my van was missing its bike rack. I checked the cameras at home expecting to see someone removing in the middle of the night, but actually no. I saw the van leave the house (wife driving it) at 8am with the rack on the back and when it returned at 10am it was gone! My wife drove for 30 minutes one way, parked up for 1 hour in a high street, there was camera footage which confirmed that nothing happened during that time. My wife drove back home and popped into the co-op for 5 minutes or so and then home. So we conclude it must have been removed forcibly in the co-op car park (no cameras to check). When i say removed it must have been ripped off, as wife had reversed into the parking space with a lamp post behind, so cant see how another vehicle could have ripped it off. I can only assume it was ripped off by hand or tools. It's made quite a mess, with deep scratches and dents in the boot - insurance claim required. I cant believe that it was removed so quickly and so brazenly in broad daylight, if indeed that is how it was removed, generally i quite puzzled about it all. Before you mention my wife's driving, no question it wasn't her (she's sitting next to me!). Any other similar experiences?
