My Orange Five Pro was stolen from an underground car park in Simpson Loan, Edinburgh on Wednesday 15th August night. I feel that it is quite distinctive, so there may be a chance that it will be noticed. It has been upgraded with XTR and better wheels – and gold bling!
I would really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for it. I would very much like it back.
