IanC Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Chris.This is bad luck. What is strange is that it is high end bikes and TT bikes as well. That won't be uset as commuter bikes.Maybe a syndicate taking the bikes into Africa?Maybe you guys should look at lockup cables through the frames of these high end bikes. Best would be to get a guard armed with a shotgun, one that is willing to use it. All the best to find this bikes.Ian

Poison Ivy Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 My suggestion is to all the bike shops that have been hit over the last few weeks: look at the security footage from the last week of suspect looking clients that visited your shops and chatted too long and being too friendly to the sales people and showed a lot of interest in bikes and compare all the footage to identify faces. 10 to 1 you'll be able to spot the same ones. The equipment that got taken, any one can see its too specific your a random smash and grab.
Tankman Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Sad new Chris, hope someone fuks them up!Wasnt Williams Bike shop (Somerset West) hit around the same time in the afternoon?
Edition 507 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Stand on guard yourself if you not happy? BigH, Stand on the guard yourself if you not happy. That should wake him up
