Due to recent events (theft) I would like to change my username to become a little more incognito if that's possible! Otherwise location at BD20 is quite vague so happy to add that.
We only ever ask fo the first half of the postcode Phill, and that;s how you are currently entered. If you feel the road position you are on is too close for comfort, I can move the position a bit further away if you wish, onto a different road for example.

My first half code landed me right on where I live for example, so I shifted it slightly and I now appear to live in a golf course bunker.

I think you'd need to contact the administrators Russell Scott or HelenJ to change your user name while keeping other details the same. To contact Russell, here's the conversation link.

Alternatively rejoin under another name and using another email address, getting me to delete or amend your present map entry.

I asked Russell (I think) and he changed me over to a new name. It's better, as all your old post get re-named so you keep them.

Very wise.

I did wonder if recent unfortunate events were something to do with information disclosed on here.

Unlikely, but the internet can be a solvable jigsaw puzzle for the savvy thief.

It may be that pedelecs info on its own was of no help, but most of us have an online presence in several places, so linking all together can provide a picture we would not like to be made public.

In my case I think not. This group of young men also stole a quad bike, attempted to take a land-rover and trailer and 2 mountain bikes in separate incidents as well as other crime from Skipton to Bradford.
I have convinced myself that they were just cruising around looking for unsuspecting sheep to shear and I was just there for the taking..

I would have liked to see them holding a land rover out of the car window!
