In the last few months we made too many pictures but we have not updated our photo gallery so often. To solve this problem we had the idea: why not regularly post one of our pictures on the blog?
Today we were very sad: Attila`s bike was stolen last night from the staircase. He went to work but came back very soon with the lock -cut across- in his hand and said calmly: `at least we do not need to sell it anymore (when we move)`…
So what to do? Write a message on the wall like `hello, do you know who has taken my bike?`, as that `Germany-fan` guy did from the house some months ago searching for his jacket? It was stolen from the car park where he left it and it was a very important jacket for him because he had sewn the German flag into it after some kind of German football victory in the past…
Or call the police to ask them making a research in every flat in this district? Hello, haven`t you seen anyone in the dark last night during the heavy rains with a stolen bicycle? It doesn’t make much sense.
I wrote a message on Twitter, but at this stage it did not help.
So I made a quick research on Internet and found this website of Bicycles Network Australia and its forum about stolen bikes which seems to be the only effective solution. We can register our bike there and see what happens. Maybe somebody will find it or at least if the thief wants to sell the bike maybe the buyer checks this website first. Who knows? But if you have a better idea how to find this bicycle, tell us, we would be very pleased!
When something is stolen from you - whether it is an important object or not - it is very frustrating and makes you nervous but also very empty for a while. It was yours!
Sydney is not a bad place to live and we are lucky because in this suburb we don`t feel the public safety or security to be as bad as it is said to be in some westerns suburbs. But being naive and leave the bicycle in the open staircase was not so smart. After this we will not leave things in `unsecure places` ever. And maybe we will also tell this story to our friend who uses to leave his kayak sometimes on the street on his car, saying that `a lot of people use to have kayaks in Sydney, they won`t steel mine`…
But for now we upload this photo about the Ferris wheel from Luna Park in Sydney. It symbolizes some kind of nostalgic feeling. Ups and Downs…Generally I do not like fun-fairs. And this park called Luna Park in Sydney also has no
t changed this feeling. It was almost empty every time we were walking by-maybe just because it was always raining as well…But the view must be scenic and nice from the cabins: the Luna Park is located on the harbour side in the north, just next to the tremendous Harbour Bridge, and you can see the Opera House on the left as well. Great place to visit!
We will also post a picture of the bike, in case you might see it somewhere, just let us know ….
So about the bicycle:
Type: Merida Dakar; Colour: black; mountain bike, 26 inch wheel, 21 inch frame.

I’m sorry to hear about your bike. The website you mentioned sounds like a good idea, so I hope that you are lucky and get the bike back.
That’s a great photo of the ferris wheel at Luna Park. I’ve been on it once and, although I don’t like heights, the views were wonderful!
I don’t know if you would be interested in participating in World Blog Surf Day - a day for expat bloggers to join together on a virtual world tour!

Hi Emma,
I’m sorry to hear about Attila’s bike. I just moved to Sydney and I know how it feels like to have your own personal stuff get lost or get taken away. For me it’s even more devastating if I’m in another country.
Anyway, I’m an expat like you and have just recently discovered other expats who are blogging about their move. Reading you guys is helping me a lot with my transition. I don’t have a blog yet, so I’m going to link back to the Sydney Airport Shopping website — it has helped me find what I need, so I thought this might appeal to you, too.
Good luck on finding the bike - having it registered is a good idea. Also, my friend is a biker, so I’ll tell him about it in case he spots something.
Take care.

Hi Erica,
Thanks you for mentioning the stolen bike to your friend!
The most embarrassing thing about the bike is that is was stolen. I can imagine that is a relatively common thing everywhere but only a few people are lucky to find it. The least you can do in this case to register your bike on forums and check the online stores and see what happens. We should make the situation of thieves more difficult… If you have a very expensive bicycle, maybe it is another case…
Yeah, blogging is fun and helps to remember later, and it is not so difficult to make it, I mean the `technical stuff`. Anyway, if you also start a new `expat blog`, just let me know)))
Cheers,
Emma
