Stolen trek bikes

[puddings]

When will bike companies learn that parking a big van or lorry outside their office full of bikes and leaving it unattended is likely to attract the attention of scrotes, who believe it or not are often intelligent enough to work out that it might contain some goodies worth nicking (Santa Cruz lost their entire test fleet not so long ago after leaving a van full of bikes parked overnight outside their offices)

This thread went all the way to 11!

I agree with puddings - if you leave a van full of expensive gear (of any description - bikes or otherwise) unattended overnight then you shouldn't be surprised if it's all gone the next day. It's the nature of the world we live in. Although, some people are intelligent enough to work out there's valuable stuff inside a van, but not intelligent enough to know how to sell it on.

There was a very specific custom built TT bike that was stolen from a young woman a while ago, and the information went around the major bike forums. It popped up on Ebay a few weeks later with the carbon wheels badly resprayed in black, and a set of BMX pedals on it! What a disguise!

Keep on with the humour - some of us like a chuckle and it saves me having to ?$$&* login every time and post it meself

want some humour Martin? Try those pro-Armstrong threads down memory lane. (No humour at all today)

So unbecoming of a (supposed) upholder of the law! At least you have an excuse, same as me and a sick or dying patient, if I got upset about every one I'd go mad, hence medic's (and vet's) black humour, you have to make a joke of everyday work or it becomes a burden.

How true, being married to a medic I can vouch for the black humour, which to the untrained ear will border on sounding heartless and/or cruel.

Look on the bright side - at leasdt some young lad will have a nice Xmas now and be out on his new (If stolen) bike over the new year.

It seems to me that people who have been to nasty places and seen nasty things get some relief by enjoying the humour that can be found in even the direst of circumstances.
Other people may have led very sheltered lives ........

Oh dont get me wrong - its a wrong and indecent thing these folk have done - and they should face the full might of the Law as it stands.

But you still can have a laugh at a big company making a basic mistake. Its called security.
