DIRTY, ROTTEN SCUMBAGS!

This is a letter I had hoped I would never have to write but unfortunately we had a break in on Tuesday night. Amongst various office computers, clothing, helmets and the like – the scumbags also took a decent amount of Santa Cruz and Ibis bikes, including pretty much the world's only Santa Cruz Tallboy that had been shipped over for the Eurobike launch next week.

This is a letter I had hoped I would never have to write but unfortunately we had a break in on Tuesday night. Amongst various office computers, clothing, helmets and the like – the scumbags also took a decent amount of Santa Cruz and Ibis bikes, including pretty much the world's only Santa Cruz Tallboy that had been shipped over for the Eurobike launch next week.
Dickon Hepworth - Santacruz UK explains all..
Tallboy spec:
Size: Large
Colour: matte carbon with dark red graphics (one side only)
Shock: Fox RP23 boost valve
Fork: Fox 32 F29 100 RLC Taper 15mm (black)
Spec: XTR with Avid Elixir CR Mag brakes / Easton low rise Monkeylite bars, EA90 stem / Chris King tapered inset headset (black) / Thomson Masterpiece seatpost w/ WTB Silverado saddle / Mavic TN 719 rims on DT 240S hubs / Kenda Smallblock 8 tyres / Unique Santa Cruz rear QR.
The Tall Boy is a 29er - 29inch wheels dumbo. So if you see some little 5ft 6ins chav(Council House and Violent) on it, don't do what we do, clothes line them and then stamp on their head. Instead grab them by the scruff of their neck and inform the Police.
This is certainly the only bike of its kind in Europe. And one of only a handful made so far – so it's going to stand out like a sore thumb on the trails. Please ask everyone out there – riders, shops and the like, to keep an eye out.
There were also several other bikes, details of which will follow once we start clearing through the mess.
Obviously your help in spreading the word on this is much appreciated – please contact Jungle Products with any information.
Thanks.

As POLICE 5's Shaw Taylor would say, "Keep 'em peeled!"
In 1986 POLICE 5 was directly responsible for the recovery of a set of 12 priceless medallions stolen from Kew Palace. They were sent to Shaw anonymously after he has said on the programme that "…the loser, a very distinguished lady, was not amused." They were sent to Shaw, through the post, wrapped in toilet paper.
One good medal deserves another and in 1987 Shaw Taylor was awarded an MBE… and at the investiture at Buckingham Palace ‘The distinguished lady’ thanked him personally. " I think I owe you this" she said. "With respect Your Majesty" replied Shaw "you owe me twelve." He is still waiting for the other eleven.

Its so ridiculous, what do people think they're gonna do with one of the worlds rarest bikes. If they ride it they'll get caught if they sell it theyll get caught. So it probably will sit in their garage for the next 20 years. As you said, complete scum!!!
esstential if they are someone after a quick bit of cash or a free bike they won't know that it's one of the handful in the world, making it easy to spot. They would probably rough it up first... to make it "blend it" with the 3 or 4 others in the world.
dude it was so funny, we had person last year try to steal a NEW turner dhr with new components and he couldn't fit it in his car. So as he is driving away the bike falls out the back and he doesn't notice
Sorry but how secure is the place where this stuff was stolen? Either it isnt an the people who stoll it are mindless scum bags who saw it an went oooh shiny or the security is very good an the people who broke in are quite clever...
It doesn't matter how secure a place is, if the scum know what's in a building and its what they want, they will get in regardless of any amount of security.

i hope you find 'em and punch 'em in the wiener... repeatedly, for the rest of their lives... with a stun gun. at least.
if your duymb enough to steal a bike that there are so very few of you would b dumb enough to put it on any site hope it turns up for you guys.. dunno wat anyone gets outta stealing to know you gotta live with the fact you have taken some1's pride and joy it must be a horrible feeling so low.. it shall turn up within time have faith
that f*cking sucks. i hope these f*ckers get caught and get the living piss beat out of them, than go to jail.
Why cain't people take their filthy hands of some ones else stuff and this sucks hard because Eurobike is next week
.I hope you find those bike thiefs
.I hope you find those bike thiefs
I actually found my bike for sale on the internet about 2 weeks after it was stolen a few years back. Huge thanks to Kona for letting me know about the ad and for the police that helped me get it back. I hope you guys are as lucky as I was. Since then I have invested in some serious bike locks.

eurobike next week. all new bikessss.
but yeah stealing does suck, but it feels great when you catch them

I've had the satisfaction of running after a thief that had just stolen my friends bike and kicking he's ass as much as i could, after having stopped him by clamping the front brake very hard and making him fly over the bars.....then my friend showed up and he was of course much angryer than me...hahahaha...good times!! there is more satisfaction in kicking a thiefs ass than doing a 3 meter drop..
im trying to imagine the feeling of someone stealing my bike and me catching him in the act... gets my heart pumping just thinking about it
Man that sucks. I got a sneak peak of the Tallboy at the Santa Cruz headquarters, but that one was orange. Sick bike.

yeah, some people are real douche bags. Plus, what kind of retard steals a one of a kind bike! I wish I could be the one to kick their asses. One of my fondest memories is hitting a kid who was riding my bike in the back of the head with a rock

I hope they ride it and the bike mysteriously un screws its own QR and he tries one of his poxy wasteland DJs and the front wheel pops out and he ends up with a mouth full of mud, then the bike will mysteriously fall on top of him knocking him out and pinning him while it mysteriously called the police
