Bike: 07 Norco Manik - Medium
Colour: Light brown with chrome rims. All black components.
Date it was stolen: 11:05pm - Saturday 8th of November, 2008
Where it was stolen: Southbank, Melbourne.
Specs: Stock.
Other Info: I am posting this up for a friend. He and I were sitting on the Red Stage at Southbank, with out bikes next to us. A group of about 8 late teens (of Greek appearance) approached us, 2 of them jumped on our bikes and rode off. We tried to give chase, but their other 6 or so mates held us back. I got out my phone to call 000 but they snatched it off me..
We ran up Southbank, and across the bridge towards Flinders St Station, following a path of my gloves, helmet etc. We ran through the underground, and saw one of the thieves sitting on my bike at the Flinders Street side gates.
When he saw me, he floored it up towards Swanson street, whilst I ran my ass off after him yelling "STOP! THIEF!". He then rode past the main steps, passing 2 Police officers. We all chased him towards the Yarra River. He went down the staircase right next to Clocks Taberet, but dumped my bike at the top. We now had a chance to speak to the Police, and give an official report on the incident.
I am so lucky to have gotten my bike back, but unfortunately, my mates Manik has not been seen since Southbank.
Please help me find his bike, he is my best mate and his bike means everything to him. We are both very traumatised by the incident.
Any information, witnesses or advice will be greatly appreciated.
