Title: Griso Pinko stolen!
Post by: Vasco DG on July 13, 2015, 09:29:33 PM
How stupid can you be?

My old Griso now owned by Greg Field in Seattle has been stolen from out the back of Greg's place!

I mean it's a salvage titled shitter with the early A5 motor so it sounds like cheese graters fornicating in an iron tank it's eight years old and probably has a street value slightly above a bucket of cold dog turds.

Stealing it from Greg's place was doubly unwise! I'm surprised he didn't get a round from one of Greg's flintlocks up his chuff!

Anyway, if anybody sees or hears of a load of red Griso bits being hawked on the bay of fleas or Craigslist or whatever, especially in the North West, can you let the wallopers know.

Thanks.

Pete

I predict it will turn up, a bit worse for wear, and abandoned.

 This is a bit like stealing the Batmobile , or the Pope's car , gonna be impossible to fence .

How does one steal a Griso?  I was a Concrete Construction laborer for more than a decade so I'm used to lifting heavy odd shaped objects and pushing concrete wheel barrels in dirt but when I pushed my Griso uphill someone didn't read the trip odo right twenty yards I had to stop for "air".

It would take more than one skinny teen, 6-8 might be enough.

If it's such a piece of crap, it looks like they've gotten what they deserve.  :grin:

They were determined. The fork was locked, it was chained to a  fence, and the battery was removed for charging. They must've had enough guys to pick it up and throw it into the back of a truck. If anyone hears anything, let me know.

sorry to hear it.

Not sure if it feels worse to get ripped off by a pro or an idiot- you're out just the same.  Hopefully your homeowner's will cover it.

best of luck to get your wheels

Very sorry to hear Greg.

That bike has had a hard life.  Hope it doesn't get chopped up.

Sorry about the Griso.  God I hate thieves!!!    Lowlife  suns-a-bitches!

Maybe something positive will come from all of this.  Good luck.

Fortunately, it's only a machine..

Oh now you've done it!!  That's like hearing someone's girlfriend got hit with the ugly stick and you can't wait to see her now.  :laugh:

Easy to roll the bike away, even with locked fork, disc lock, etc.  It just takes two guys and two skateboards.

Battery angle grinder and cutoff wheel makes a quick 10 seconds work of that unfortunately.

And that means they were prepared to steal something that day.

Liquid nitrogen and a hammer. Sorry for you. I had a childhood friend who stole from me. We have not conversed in 45 years.

What will the insurance pay towards the theft?  I would not want to be sneaking around Greg's place trying to steal something, or my place for that matter. Lead is cheap
