Think due to having builders etc at my house one has taken a fancy (3 different companies all blaming each other) to my 07 Meta 5.5.2 in Gold.

Pretty stock model couple of scratches on frame but pretty clean and well looked after.

Does have red hope bar ends and matching hope seat clamp.

Panaracer Cindertrail front and rear tyres.

Kona Stinky pedals.

Pig (something) DH Headset.

Crud catcher rear mud guard.

Pretty good condition.

Reward for finding it, if seen please call South Wales Police or my mobile 07812191877.

Ta, Chris.

I've had guys working at my house now for months.

This was the only day that the garage was open and 3 different people were on site.  All way too suspect.

I've spoken to all of the managers who simply say they trust there guys.

One window fitter had the key to the garage and the bike was not even visable.  Someone would have either have been extremely oppourtunistic to walk down the drive whilst three cars / vans were parked there , gone in the garage and then waded through the empty boxes and lifted up the taurpaulin to find a bike underneath it or it was more likely one of the guys working on the house. 

The drive is 30ft + so no way someone could see a bike from the road.  The window guy was last to leave had a van whereas my painter who has been there for over a week and other work lined up for him only had a corsa so would have had lower seats and take front wheel of to fit it.  Subsequently he won't be getting the other work now.

As we are not living in the house I did not have contents insurance so I am pretty f**cked and the wife is more p1ssed off I now need a new / second bike. 

I have called all shops and am keeping a close eye out on the regular websites.  Alarmingly there are a load of thefts going on.  Someone is either benefitting from the sale or there's a lot of chav's on the trails.

I'd planned a weekend away next week so have now reluctantly bought a new Meta 5.2 from Tredz in Swansea.  House insurance is now added and will be taking extra bike cover.  0% interest balance transfer credit card.
