Saddle thefts strike in Kruishoutem
Published
In the East Flemish municipality of Kruishoutem, a bicycle saddle was stolen over the weekend. It concerns a saddle of the Amerigo brand, with a single strap. Thieves removed the saddle while the bicycle was standing in a place where its owner had left it.
The owner says he has not been able to find the saddle. He is disappointed, because the saddle was important to him. Saddles are often the target of thieves, because they are easy to remove and can be sold quickly. It is not clear how many cyclists in the region have already faced the same problems this year.
For cyclists, it is important to lock their bicycle properly and to take valuable parts with them as much as possible or secure them extra. It can also help to write down the bicycle number or the purchase details. Anyone who sees something suspicious can contact the police.
The case remains unsolved for the time being. For the owner of the saddle, it is mainly a nuisance, because he now has to buy a new saddle. The incident shows that even small bicycle parts can be an easy target.
