On the night of 26/27th august, our Garage was broken into, while we were asleep, and thieves took 4 of the 7 bikes from the garage. This happened in BLAXLAND in the lower blue mountains, NSW.
Of the 4 bikes, 2 were Crupi BMX race bikes:
- Blue Pro 20", Chrome wheels x 1.5's. All crupi running gear + black cranks.
- Nickel Expert 24", Chrome wheels x 1 3/8". All crupi running gear.
Two Mountain bikes were also stolen...
- Jamis (Black) Down hill bike with triple clamp boxxer race forks
- Giant STP 1 (2007) Black and grey with no bash ring, gold cups and race face cranks.
Pretty much, my brother, Michael Jobson, lost all of his racing bikes. I lost the bike I won the nationals on last year. This really sucks, and 5 weeks out from the NSW titles we have no bikes.
These bikes are very nice looking bikes, and not particulary common.
We looking for help from the BMX community, just to keep an eye out for anyone riding one of our bikes. More info (Photos) at

http://southern.bmxnsw.com.auIf you see anything, or know anything... please call TED JOBSON on 0402021059, or the springwood (NSW) police station.
Apparently there has been a whole string of bike robberies in the area, so the potential of the bikes going to another state is pretty high.
Any help would be awesome and much appreciated...
Just for the record... everyone ought to grab the camera and go right now, take photos of all bikes, and write the SERIAL number and a description of the bikes to keep somewhere safe. Might just come in handy sometime down the track.
I hope no one else has to go through this.. it sucks! thanks again.
