Hello~
Both our mtn bikes were stolen last night out of our vehicle. Both are custom, team edition Orbea mountain bikes. We are crushed. We just moved here and have been promoting mountain biking and New Zealand. One was an Orbea Occam carbon, with Fox shocks, Mavic wheels, all xtr, Luna stickers and Zeph stickers all over it. The second bike was an Orbea Oiz carbon, with Fox shocks, Mavic wheels, all xtr, Luna stickers. Also stolen was A LOT of our Luna/Clif gear, be it shorts, jerseys, vests, jackets. Please keep your eyes and ears open. We know with the help of all the good people here in this community, we will get our bikes back. Please help us and spread the word. Contact Sarah or Zeph at 021 042 8117 or sarahhedger@gmail.com or if you see them cal the police immediately. Thank you very much for your help.

Please see attachment for details and photos. Please spread the word...these bikes were registered internationally so it is just a matter of time before they show up. A reward is being offered as well.

Where in NZ were the bikes taken from?

Wellington area...Seatoun to be precise. The bikes were completely ingognito- they were completely covered with blankets and were not visible to anyone outside...i keep thinking positive thoughts. Thanks.

thanks. my thoughts exactly. need all the eyes and ears out there. thanks.

Pricks..
Those bikes will stick out like dogs bollox..
Will keep an eye out, they would be pretty stupid to ride them in Welly.

devastating! I'd keep eye on TM for parts being sold off too, they could look at parting them off if they realise frames are unique

will do...indeed! thank you...fortunately even the parts are unique...most are engraved with luna...

you have a set of eyes out in the hutt! and in town when im there!

thank you very much...the more eyes and ears the better!

Set of eyes in town too..

thank you thank you...the more the better!

I'll keep an eye out on trademe, I basically spent half my day browsing bike parts.

that is huge. thank you so much! there were also 2 giro mtb helmets...everything is covered in luna stickers as it was all team edition/custom...we just really want the bikes back...we are offering a reward and hoping that helps too. right now i still want to kill them. and get our bikes back. thanks so much.

Hey sorry about the bastards stealing your bikes and I hope you get them back! You guys are doing the right thing contacting the media though.

Just one thing I thought about after reading the article. You say that you packed the bikes up the night before into the van, and covered it with a blanket. So essentially no one would know they were there if they just walked past. Perhaps someone saw you packing the bikes that evening, and then stole them that night? Could have been an opportunist criminal walking around the neighbourhood, maybe even someone in your area? I know it's really obvious and aweful to be considering people in your area but it would be the first place I'd be looking for suspect behaviour..

Really hope you get them back - and continue to enjoy NZ riding!
