Sorry to hear that bro.... how did they get in??? Yea there are so many reports of bits getting nicked this year - it must be people coming up from the towns - we fly out on Thursday so will be as careful as we can - where do all the bikes go to - must be a raging ebay dh section in France? |

I think its something that is always occurring in morzine / les gets where tope bikes are clocked. Same thing happened to a fella I knew a good few years back, he was also truly f''''''ed off as top end bike. Secure storage, at a chalet with his family. Makes you think sometimes about the 'chalets'. Feel for you Lawbags, really do. |

Yes spoke to many people over the years how have had bikes nicked by some amazing means. Removing a brick wall was the most extream one I head. Karve would prob back me up on the Chalet we use (and you guys this weekend(not too jeleus)) as it's not a normal biking chalet and a little out of town seams to be quite safe. As mentioned would not suprise me if a lot of the thefts are involving the people working/running some of these places. Be interesting to get a list of palces that have had brake in's and see if theres a patten? |

They crowbar'd open a locked door. Another load of guys had an electric garage door hotwired. According to the police, someone stakes out the chalets by stting at a cafe (or similar) and waits till there is a stack of bikes. The night ours went, was the 1st night that there was 9 bikes....prior to that, it had only been a max of 3. Its odd....they left my mates XC bike (which is a 4k plus bike), but took a skanky pair of gloves and a full face.... |
