After Bob's two bicycles

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence is grammatically correct.

After Bob's two bicycles have been stolen, he now locks his bicycle with a huge padlock and a thick chain.

 

[Matthew Wai]

Since Bob's two bicycles were stolen, he has locked his bicycle with a huge padlock and a thick chain.

I'd say

'After Bob's last two bicycles were stolen, he now secures his new one with a huge padlock and a thick chain'.

I might say "Since having his last two bikes stolen, Bob now uses a huge padlock and a thick chain to secure his new bike".

 

[Matthew Wai]

After Bob's two bicycles have been stolen,

I have learnt that the present perfect used after the conjunction 'after' refers to the future rather than the past.

Would it be OK to say this:

After having his two last bikes stolen, Bob now uses a huge padlock and a thick chain to secure his new bike.

 

[emsr2d2]

Yes.

 

[Rover_KE]

As I said before 'his last two bikes/bicycles' is better in my opinion.

 

[emsr2d2]

As I said before 'his last two bikes/bicycles' is better in my opinion.

I missed that. I agree with Rover. "... two last bikes ..." is not the natural word order.
