LOST , BURGLARY of my Garage/Carport 5am JULY 3 KEYSBOROUGH S'Vale Sth
At 5am Saturday July 3 I interrupted a burglary/theft in my carport Serpentine Rd general neighborhood of Keysborough Vic . An exchange with the actual thief occurred, and a shopping bag of items he had gathered & stashed under neighbor's tree intending to steal was actually recovered ...but it took till daybreak when I could look around properly to see exactly where he had been and what he had gone through and that a number of items were actually still missing.
Main items still missing include a small/medium dark grey backpack that I used for gym. It contained my GOODLIFE gym membership card-my original one from when I joined 15 years ago.. a MYKI...and other small gym related items, Goodlife gym towels and a small blue pair of bag-training mits. He had actually tossed the bulky items , an army water bottle and a white pair of boxing gloves out of the bag, presumably so backpack could be used to carry other items he took.
The money value of it is not high, but I've been using that little backpack and the bits and pieces in it for gym visits for 20 years. I grab that backpack and off I go, because it has everything I need in it. All of that routine messed up because of this.
The thief arrived by bicycle , and his main focus for whole visit, apart from the backpack, was
A. Bicycle parts my bikes had locks on them, so he actually set about stripping parts off of my bikes , a seat/seat pole, LED lights that kind of thing.Actually also took 2 combo chain locks, and several load-binder ocko-strap things. Money value low, but, all things I've owned for many years, you know?
and
B. Tools...especially small tools, small sized spanners, folding allen key sets, a set of drill bits, this kind of stuff. A large shifter-spanner and 3 good quality large screwdrivers were ignored. Small/medium ones were attempted taken. Perhaps he mostly wanted tools he can use for removing/installing bike parts. Including ones not belonging to him.
An amount of cash stored on two of my bikes was also taken, around $30 in small bills and gold change. Kept there for stops at shops on bike trips.
Apart from grey backpack and contents, a handful , maybe 4-6, of automotive Ring-spanners around the 13-14-15mm/1/2"-9/16" inch were also taken. As I mentioned, most of the rest of a large selection of small tools I recovered after the confrontation with him. These last ones were not recovered .
As mentioned, the thief arrived by bicycle. Actually tried to tell me reason was there was that he wanted to sell me his bike. Swore to God in fact, that he was not there for any sinister reasons. I'd been watching him through my lounge window for a minute or two before bursting through my front door and confronting him. He was carefully and thoroughly searching the bikes and combibng clutter in back of my pickup using his cellphone torch. So...he was not there to sell me anything. His thoroughness was amazing. He also entered cab of pickup and tossed everything upside down going through it.
anyway, I'd appreciate any info on this guy's identity to have a second conversation with him and maybe police.
He is South-East Asian ethnicity, I do not want to mention any countries by name in case I offend someone, but thinking three nations call them nations -C-..V- ..or possibly L . That area.
165-170cms tall, somewhat nuggety little build , age 20s-30s-40s.
He claimed to me.. that he lived in Springvale South..this might be true, he would need to be fairly local, I doubt this was an epic long-haul raid. ...he further claimed that there had been two of them involved , not one, but I only saw/intercepted one guy. So, what the truth is there,I don't know.
Any info to his whereabouts/identity or wheres of my stolen items I'd be very grateful.
T/y for reading my exciting little tale of 5am thieves.
