BIKES STOLEN - HELP NEEDED

May 31, 2009

Hi, I hope you can help and this is the right place to be posting this.

I've had my garage broken into with all my bikes being cleared out and am posting in the hope that someone will spot one at some point. One of them is a Scott scale 700 SL in black, its rare. One of five imported into the uk at the time I bought it, so if anyone saw one it should stick out like a sore thumb!

Please share any information you may have as well as this post.

The bikes are:

Specialized SL 2 carbon road bike 2009
Sram red components throughout + Rotor Qrings. Black frame with red stripes and bar tape. White and red specialized phenom saddle. Yellow kool stop carbon brake pads, Ultegra SPDs. Wheels are mixed. The front one is a Specialized Roval Carbon deep section rim with Continential GP4000 tyre, while the back is a Powertap Pro G3 with Stans No Tubes ZTR rim with Schwable One tyre.




Scott Spark 700SL full suspension carbon mtb 2014
Sram XX1 gearing, XTR disc brakes, Syncros 27.5 carbon wheels, Continental race king tyres. Fox 32 Float forks, Fox Nude rear shock, Ritchey WCS pedals. Again it's black and one of five in the country.



Boardman cyclocross bike 2013, gun metal with yellow boardman stickers, it had a rack fitted to the back and child seat but this now may be removed.



This would have happened on Sunday night of April 10, 2016.

If you do see anything the surrey police crime ref is:
4516 003 0105
Thank you for your help,
Neil

I really hope you can recover your bikes - it must have been a terrible feeling. I imagine you have the serial numbers - post these as well.

Do you live in a built-up area, is it likely people have seen you coming and going from your house? It doesn't sound random, the thieves knew what they were looking for.

All the best, really hope you get your bikes back. The good news is the bike shop community are kinda tight - if they find a bike with the serial numbers they will report it. I imagine your own bike shop will be involved in this.

Fingers crossed - the black market for high-level gear isn't big.
