:shock: :shock: :shock: Absolutly ridiculous! Some people... utter scum! They would probably sell their own mother for a fiver! :evil:
It strikes me as crazy that they would go to the risk and trouble of organising and carrying this out for the scrap metal value.
I mean how much is a light weight XC bike worth as scrap??
I hope the offenders are found rotting after a heroin overdose, sounds like their brains are already well down the decomposition road.
I hope your able to rescue some of the frames at least via a decent frame builder, and am glad you till have the 2 konas in one piece.
I just cant get over the level of stupidity involved in destroying the bikes like that.

They did at least four garages in the same street at around the same time but they didn't notice until the police banged on their door and asked them to check if anything had been taken :roll:
When I first heard I thought it must have been someone who knew about my bikes or saw me taking them there and it was some well planned theft with transport arranged for the getaway :roll:
When in reality it was a couple of morons with a Transit flatbed van parked in the street wandering around in the middle of the night with a pair of bolt cutters hoping to find anything they could weigh in
The police were saying with the price of scrap it happening more and more :shock: its a relatively easy crime as they don't have to find someone to sell onto they just chuck everything in the back of a van mixed up with fridges and washing machines and it all just gets weighed in :?
It was just lucky in my case that there was someone from a cycling club weighing in brass turnings from his workplace who realised they must be nicked and phoned the police
