Stolen bike found for sale on Gumtree

[ste27]

Well, I was hoping to get to talk with someone with friends in the Vic (near Prahran) police.
I feel like I am so close to the bike but I have no idea on how to get it back.
If it helps, I'd be happy to pay $1,000 reward to whoever gets the bike back to me.

You could probably rescue the bike yourself for less than $1000

Yeah but the Comancheros will cost more than a grand.

@ste27 It's Gaby here mate, just saw that you'd posted it here after reaching out on FB.

I reckon you post the ad up, or at least some details such as the location and model - probs unlikely the thief (or thieves) are stalking here on RB. That way some RB locals might be able to help out by inspecting the bike and swapping details with you via phone on the fly such as the SN and upgrade list while they inspect the bike.

I know you're wary of it disappearing again, but I'd say that RB is your best bet It's a good chance to get your pride and joy back.

The SL Levo has the battery very stealthily fitted into the downtube

Threaten that you going to murder the cunt, then turn yourself in. You may end up with a charge but you'll recover your items. Not that I would want them back. I would just report it to my insurance company and let them deal with it.

Anyone had a black GT Force go missing? Looks like a brand-new bike, not much info on the seller and a pretty generic description in the ad details.

Doesn't even look like pedals have ever been attached... stolen from a shop I'd say

Possibly a scam too, most of their FB friends list are located overseas. Only a few shops sell them here in the area they claim to be located in. Something is very fishy about it all.

That'd be my guess. Usually if you reverse-search the pictures they pop up in other for-sale ads in other parts of the world.

Sticker on the seat tube says "Monza Imports"

Seems like a fair price for a GT "he knows what he's got"
