Maybe it just fell out, and wasn't stolen after all?
At least you got it back - they may not be the best tools in the world, but they're handy all the same.

And it's nice to know there are still some honest people out there.
Last week in Chch, we took the gondola up the Cashmere Hills, and wlked own the Bridle Path while the boys mountain-biked down through Sumner. I took my comfy, warm, Kathmandu hat off at the bottom (who knew walking downhill could be so tiring? :spudwhat

and must've dropped it. Some thieving bastid picked it up and I never saw it again. Wish I had really bad cooties...
On the positive side, driving past Kathmandu on Sunday they had a "Sale! 50% off!" sign outside, and I got a more betterer hat for $12.50.

I wish!! I dont ride anywhere near Bond Street, and in fact I don't think ive even walked up there for about a year . . . .
Nice to have them back though all the same

Yeah, but that was the bike that had the curse on it , was it not?

Glad you got your tools back....

Maybe they opened up the pouch and discovered it wasnt what they were looking for afterall....

Oh there are some silly crims out there without much grey matter.

I imagine that was exactly what happened. Opportunistic thief grabs the toolkit cos it's the only detachable thing on the bike. Hoping that what's in the pouch maybe be floggable (camera, weed, whatever) . Opens it up when away from the scene , discovers it's bike tools, no resale value at the pub or Cash Converters, and throws it away in disgust. Wonder if there was a second hand shop near where they were found?
