A recent listing on the site was quite extraordinary.... a bike was stolen while the owner was camped just a few metres away from it. OK so the thieves were quiet but what is really odd is that the camp was miles from anywhere - like miles out in the bush.
Here's what happened afterwards as told by "Knopey"....
"A while ago a bunch of us were camping out in the sticks, and one of the bikes got stolen at god-knows-what in the morning, it was like 2m away from it's owner sleeping in his swag (Ben) and 4m from me... with no civilisation around for like 40k's... scary and boggling stuff...
We looked for it all over, swore a lot... it was all bad, and chances of seeing it again were buckley's and none. Uninsured....
Anyway this was like... 1.5-2 months ago? or so.
Well, it turns out! Some bloke was out there marking some track for an event this weekend and saw something shiny in a gully. Investigated and there it was, Ben's 525!
Of course he didn't know it was Ben's... he asked around at the local police who said they knew nothing (bullcrap!), then checked the Stolen Dirt Bikes website http://www.stolendirtbikes.com.au/ and got hold of the owner through there! How awesome is that!
And the second awesome thing is, given the way the bike must have ended up in the gully, the farkknuckle who took it must have gone off a mini-cliff in the dark (no lights) and nearly killed himself. Too bad... (Consideration is being given to checking with the local hospitals to see who came in with crash damage that night, and finishing the job...)
So, I guess karma does come around sometimes hey And DrDad your site's phulli sik mate."
