All these thefts are surely organised? I suspect that the various bits will be heading out of the country, but who knows could be a bunch of morons and they’ll all appear on eBay? But I doubt it.
Sad news Si.
Hope they gut them like fish!! 🙁
Sorry to hear the news Si, those bikes look very tasty.
How nice does that black Chumba Racing VF2 look.
nice bikes.im starting to wonder if there is any links there are certainly a lot of top end thefts occurring.i wonder if the police forces are sharing intelligence on these cases.
sickened – my commis si.
there does seem to be a hella lot of these thefts going on just now..
Makes me angry to see lazy swine taking advantage of other peoples hard work – try to not let it get you down Si.
🙁
Si seems like one of the nicer blokes to deal with out there. Hope he gets his stock back unharmed.
Do you have frame numbers? – maybe STW could keep a list of stolen numbers to make sure no-one buys a ‘s/h’ stolen frame by mistake.
Last weekend got a call to an industrial estate in the north west, they had got broken into, nicked one load of stuff, done a lot of damage to vehicles, ans stole reasonably niche market stuff, and as they came back for a second load in a stolen van the police caught one of them, so as a warning to all PLEASE upgrade your security, locks cctv, perimiter security etc, it may cost you some money but you will deter them striking you and they may go else where.
“Brodie Titanium Holeshot 18″”
That is NICE.
They aren’t exactly going to be hard to spot though if they appear on the interweb so at least you have a chance of seeing them again unlike some of the more mainstream brands that have been stolen recently. Maybe the same lot that did JE James? Will keep a local-ish eye out for them.
Sorry to hear that SI. I’m yet to see another Chumba in these parts, they are quite rare so I wonder how the scumbags think they’ll shift them. Maybe new decals to try to pass them off as something else to unknowing punters?
arse, ****, bugger
Something organized is going on no doubt about it, those bikes are gonna stand out where ever they end up. Don’t let the bastards get to you Si, hope you get them all back 🙂
Ive never seen another Chumba on the trails so will keep an eye out! (Proud Chumba Evo owner from Manchester Mountain Bikers)
