thieves turn up, drive into the carpark,see me
Good on you for getting the bike back but are you saying they know who you are? Just hope this is the end of it for you.

More importantly , he knows who they are!

Could that turn into an article for the mag? Seems like it would be worth reading...
Good point, plus on the back of the article I think Jedi should be approached about becoming a mag tester for the burlier bikes that they can review?

thief claims to have dumped the bike to the police.
yesterday they emailed bushwqcked offering to sell it to him!
Scroty *and* stupid.

well done, did you get it back complete?
How stupid are they?
If they saw you @ the meet, why email BW again, surely you'd have expected them to put 2+2 together... great result though.Posted 2 years ago # -

How far up the guys arse are you going to go hora. He got a bike back, well done and all but thats it.

tut tut. No one likes to see someone on STW get praise huh

I'm fed up with bikes being tested by people who know what they're doing, anyway.
Why don't they let clueless numpties loose on them and see what they can come up with? I'm available for this role if asked, btw.

wwaswas, I could test how easy the bike is to push up hills and carry down places like the Beast etc

Nothing wrong with giving the guy praise, but your sycophantism is making me feel queasy.

Blackdog, Should I cancel the order for 2,000 Buddha-like statuettes of Jedi that are currently being produced in China?

I agree it would be good, cheery happy new year story, perhaps for the website.

Top news.
I once got my GF's bike back after she had it stolen, I won't recount story though as not half as good as yours!

Would be great if once charged and found guilty the culprits can have their photos circulated to all trail centres and bike shops.
Great idea, but I wouldn't mind betting someone somewhere would be jumping up and down about it "breaching their human rights".

Cracking news. Good to hear someone who wanted their bike back that much rather than just rolling over and admitting defeat and claiming the insurance. If everyone was as commited as you then all our insurance premiums would drop!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Nice idea DWB but I'll wager it would just mean insurance companies get richer!
Still, good news Jedi. Glad to hear the thieving scum didn't get away with it.

I'm still holding out hope that i'll spot mine on the bay or in some classified somewhere...there cant be that many pimped 16 inch mk1 Kona A's out there...
not to mention the other 3 they stole from me, including some one-off green (but no the current light team-green) hope hubs which will be hard to miss....
anyway, congrats Jedi!

I've been on the receiving end of 2 bike thefts (thankfully both over 9 years ago now) - in both cases I'd have rather tracked down and recovered the bikes rather than have the insurance money...

Jedi,next time could you please video the chase,and do a documentry,much better than the crap on the tv over christmas.
Did they have a toilet moment when they saw you.
(shit themselves)Posted 2 years ago # -
......bushwackeds account gets hacked so ebay remove his bid.....
Coincidence or related to the thieves? Either way, an unfortunate time for it to happen.

Cant belive the cheeky sods listed it on ebay for a 1-day auction and raised the princely sum of £600 (did a previous listed items search)
glad the skum got what was coming to them mate - well done & happy trails for 2010

Regards Matt.

I don't know you Jedi, but I've always been impressed by your pics and vids. I'm really pleased that you got your bike back - sounds like you could teach the plods and ebay a thing or two.
