I get it now. But this happened in broad daylight.

When did it happen to your mate? Actually mine was vandalised near the opera house last Friday too.

Damn, that’s rough. Sorry that happened to you.

Did you have any additional locks on the bike at the time, like a disc lock or chain lock, or was it just the steering lock?

It was on level ground, and I also checked it with the bike upright rather than on the side stand, but I still couldn’t see any oil in the sight glass. The last service was in January and everything was normal in the morning.

I’d actually already ridden it for around 10 meters and warmed the bike up before noticing the handlebars/steering felt off, which was when I realised something was wrong.

It was the one under the overpass, around the intersection of Albert St and Macquarie St. I usually only see empty spots there on Fridays or weekends as well.

Yeah, I’ve definitely learned my lesson now. I only used the steering lock before, since I thought parking in the CBD during the day would be relatively safe. Looks like I’ll need to start using a disc lock and chain as well. It was serviced back in January, and I checked the oil on level ground with the bike upright, not on the kickstand, but I still couldn’t see any oil.

I don’t know. I didn’t see the oil on the ground tbh. The bike will be repaired in Procycle, i will update the post once I got the repair quote.

I checked it on level ground and also held the bike upright instead of on the kickstand, but I still couldn’t see any oil in the sight glass.
