Unlucky Lew, fucking thieving scumbags

Not my bikes , just some other unfortunate guy, I reckon it is some scum bag who either knows him or has been watching him come and go. Most likely been chopped by now. Bring back hanging, they used to hang folk for horse theft so why not now. after all we refer to our bikes as our trusty steed.

Nope, My money is on bikes being stolen for export and chances are that they are either stored somewhere central waiting to go out in a container or have left already. The thefts are happening a lot and in concentrate batches in a certain area at any one time. Bikes are going to Eastern Europe & Africa by the container load... The authorities know its happening but do not have the man power or the controls in the docks to stop it & it's being getting steadily worse.

If a 125 or off roader goes missing chances are its a local scrote or smack head, but these thieves are professionals they strike in the early hours, know what they are doing and seem to take late model bikes, Normally nothing else is touched.
