Lynnie_the_Snail Posted November 25, 2015 Share hectic... is it just me or did the theft of bikes go up since Carte Blanche ran that story on the fake Pinarello (if i remember correctly)... and they kept mentioning the prices of the bikes... ....or was I just not paying attention to stolen bikes before then...

Catatonic_Joe Posted November 25, 2015 Share is it just me or did the theft of bikes go up since Carte Blanche ran that story on the fake Pinarello (if i remember correctly)... and they kept mentioning the prices of the bikes... Bike theft has been gradually getting worse, but not because of the Carte Blanche episode... I feel slightly better knowing that we here is SA are not the only ones affected by the issue. Feel really sad for Manon, those bikes must've meant a lot to her, her 'babies'. I hope those w@nkers get caught.

Lurch the stalker Posted November 25, 2015 Share Damn that is hectic...I wonder if it was 'normal' theft or industrial espionage since there were prototypes... I'll loan Manon a bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Carte Blanche is compulsory viewing by the underworld in South Wales Edited November 25, 2015 by eddy Pikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted November 25, 2015 Share How big is her garage!!! Too big now... shame that is some organisation. That's hectic. You're not going to a procession of out of place guys peddling and pushing all those in to the local chop shop. What did they turn up in, a removal truck? Honestly though, I've got my garage and my store room hooked into the alarm and have added CCTV for the road and I've only got 3 grown up bikes and no 2 wheel motorised toys to protect.

KingTJ Posted November 29, 2015 Share I see that Manon says they recovered the mountain bikes but not the morotcycles.I think she must have been more worried at about the mtb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch the stalker Posted November 29, 2015 Share I think she must have been more worried at about the mtb.Definitely.I bet any one of those bicycles is worth way more than the motorcycles, not to mention one was a prototype, and one is the bike she won her world champs stripes on.
