Stolen: Scott Spark Contessa 710 2017
When: 10 March 2018
Where: Western Cape

We were watching the XCO World Cup at Coetzenburg and chained both our bikes to a steel balustrade, during the race we happen to walk past our bikes to watch the finish of the women’s race when I noticed that only my bike was still there, unlocked with the cable gone and also the Scott gone. My bike was left unlocked, just standing there and I suspect whoever took the Scott was about to return to get mine. We called in security and they tried their best to try find it but no luck.

 

The worst is that we are due to ride the Cape Epic on these bikes in a week, so we hope to find a Small Scott Spark Contessa to get setup for Jess.

Damn man, that is harsh. Hope you do find a replacement. Must say I dont trust combination locks anymore after seeing how easy they can be cracked. Forgot my code and after a shortwhile was able to unlock a supposed strong lock within 30 sec.

No chain or lock is a barrier to a seasoned thief, just adds 5-10mins to the job. There are some interesting locksmith channels on YouTube that study how to break locks with unusual techniques and tools, amazing how quickly you can defeat the best products even from big names like Masterlock and Abus.
