Bikes Stolen In Orlando

Bikes Stolen In Orlando
Anthony Napolitan, Flip @ Albe's, and Nick Steben's bikes were all stolen today from the Dew Tour in Orlando. If you're in the area, be on the lookout for a yellow Hoffman with white wheels (pictured above), a translucent green DK with white parts, and a yellow FBM with a red front wheel. Stop the thieves!

    damn, after reading all these comments, anothny and brett are the most legit. I don't know how anyone can trust rent-a-cops. They are not real police officers being paid a salary. They half ass shit and argue with biker/skaters. He needs to be fired if they are going to try to flirt with teenage girls instead of looking out for expensive bikes. I hope your bikes all turn up soon. It costs someone money you know!

    Yeah It's super lame that people have to go and steal bikes. We don't just lay our bikes where ever we please. There are designated areas that we store our bikes that are guarded by so called security ( Rent a Cops) when we enter areas such as the athlete lounge or catering. If we could take our bikes everywhere I'm sure we all would. As for being sponsored and getting parts for free, I wasn't the only rider to have his bike stolen. Mark Flip and Nick Stebben had there rides stolen as well. Nick isn't sponsored and has to buy all of his stuff. And sure Flip owns albes but in the end he still has to buy all his stuff as well, and as for me I do get most of my parts from sponsors but in the end all my sponsors have to pay for that stuff too, and I also spend about $400 at albes every time I build a new bike. So money is coming from my pocket as well. I don't just take from BMX, I give back just like everyone else. As for the thieves, We all saw who they were on the security tapes. Sadly it was two girls and a guy. The two girls distracted the security and people in the hall ways by acting cute and doing what girls do best, while the guy creeped into the bike room and took his choice of bikes out the back door. Where was security you ask?? Well they were just sitting on there asses 5 feet from the bike room with there thumbs in the ass making sure that friends and family members of the riders don't sneak into the athlete lounge and catering to get food??? Somethings wrong with that picture

    Track all these ratty kids that think it's funny to steal bike and want to steal "Pros" bikes and ban their asses. Go talk your shit on another site. Pro or not, the bike cost someone money and they are now in the hole because of it. NO ONE in the world of BMX has a large enough income that they don't get bummed about their bike getting stolen.

    I doubt any BMX companies even qualify as a Large Business. A Small Business is defined as having fewer than 500 employees. What that means: You put a dent in someones wallet by taking their sponsored rider's bike.

    it doesnt matter if they are all pro or fully sponsored, they all work hard for the bikes and im sure someone has to pay for those bikes and those parts, i've have my bike stolen and im sponsored by dk and they take it serious about getting stuff stolenand replacing it, things are tight in the world of bmx, its not cool to steal.

    that is so sad. Isn't some one in charge of watching the bikes? isn't there security for these event's, the bikes, the athletes? WTF I will do it for cheep. Just give me an Israeli assault rifle, pistol-grip pump, and a Samurai sword.
