" Test Ride Bike Bandit Strikes Again!
A serial bike thief is preying on victims selling bikes on Gumtree in Victoria.
It is alleged that a con artist*is scamming*sellers of high-end bikes advertised for sale on Gumtree, by posing as a legitimate purchaser and stealing the bikes during a purported test ride.* Consistent with each theft is that the male contacts the seller via text before arranging an inspection of the bike. * During the inspection he asks to take the bike for a test ride and offers his mobile phone, wallet and keys as security. *On three occasions he has left behind an activated pre-paid mobile phone connected in a false name.
The male has now stolen five bikes from Sandringham, St Kilda, Carlton, Armadale and Brighton since October 2016, with the last two thefts occuring in a 3 day period.
The latest bike stolen is a Specialized S Works Enduro Moutain Bike, stolen from Brighton on Friday 17 February 2016. *Following his normal course of conning the seller to believe he is a genuine purchaser the male arrived wearing a pair of cycling shoes and brought with him a set of clip on pedals to fit to the bike. * After fitting the pedals he requested to take the bike for a test ride and offered his mobile phone, wallet and keys as security. *The victim opted to only take the keys, believing they were for a car parked out the front of the premises. *The male then road off on the bike. *The keys were later found to be unrelated to the car."

Once more the Scumtree bandit strikes again..

"The Gumtree Bike Bandit is back!
Just when we thought the Gumtree Bike Bandit aka “Mr GBB” had seen the error of his ways and packed up shop, he has raised his unrepentant head and stolen another victim’s bike, making it now 8 confirmed stolen bikes with whispers of more!
The latest bike stolen is a Specialized S-Works Tarmac taken from Elsternwick yesterday 28 April 2017, at around 4.00 pm.

Similar to the earlier thefts, the alleged con artist has contacted the victim via text and phone to arrange an inspection of the bike advertised for sale on Gumtree. *He has then requested a test ride of the bike and offered up his wallet and mobile phone as surety. *Appearing to be a genuine purchaser with some knowledge of bikes, he has then asked to test ride the bike on the victim’s driveway. *The rest is history as he rode off into the sunset."

Going cheap at $150 (down from first ad at $200). Maybe the price was assessed per photo. - or the photos are instructional to allow you to build your own for $6.

Don't talk smack on the Lawhill design! Though this does appear to be an overly.complicated "improvement" on the more common overly complicated version.
