April 22, 201511 yr On the 21st April at 11:30pm UK Trials dealer SplatShop were hit by a break-in. 5 people were involved with the burglary and came in 2 vehicles, please see the pictures below. They have stolen: 2015 - Electric Motion 5.7 Competition - Orange: VF9TL0101CE968177 2015 - Oset 16.0 Eco: OSET16E4I082 2015 - Oset 16.0 Racing: OSET16R4I173 2015 - Oset 20.0 Racing: OSET20R4I131 48 Pairs of Jitsie Gloves, mixture of the Airtime and T2 Edge / Legend in various sizes. If anyone knows of any information that may help, the crime reference is CR16661/15, the police can be contacted on 101. Or please email sales@splatshop.co.uk. As can be seen in the pictures below, the van they put the Electric Motion in was too small to fit the bike, so they had to leave the back doors open to drive away, if anyone saw this van driving with the back doors open in the Sheffield/Chesterfield area last night, it may help.
April 22, 201511 yr ****ards, hope they get caught and receive suitable punishment though I doubt either will happen.
April 23, 201511 yr My Son's streetbike was stolen out of a driveway sunday ... and the law says oh well .... Thanks for the insurance I pay on it .
April 23, 201511 yr I really hate to see this. It was just a year or so ago with another theft of bikes from them. Chris needs a good dog! A big one!
April 23, 201511 yr Thieving B******ds, I suggest alerting other dealers about people trying to get chargers for them.
April 23, 201511 yr Maybe they could put a camera located to catch license plates. Some cops in the US have 'bait cars' that are wired and watched. Maybe a program such as that would get into the ring of trials thieves. There is some sort of black market or you wouldn't see the volume of theft. Sounds like they are shipped to east block countries or they would pop up, since yall are so restricted in your riding areas.
April 24, 201511 yr Maybe clubs should be asking for engine number/purchase date/purchased from and other info from their members, which would encourage buyers to make deeper checks prior to purchase, and make chancers less likely to want to own a stolen bike.
April 25, 201511 yr I seem to recall at an acu technical officials seminar that chassis and engine numbers are checked at some mx meetings. It would be good for logbooks or an official certificate to be produced at signing on for every bike at trials.
April 26, 201511 yr have you had a look on plumtree fleabay etc oset 16 childs bike just gone up on plumtree 4 hrs ago but as I have no idea of the bikes etc whats what was wondering if its worth a look.
