Haro Bikes had 6 bikes stolen from the convention center on Friday night. Given the fact these bikes are all unrideable samples, we obviously want to do what we can to recover them. Please help us spread the word!

When Haro’s employees returned to the Sands Convention Center on Saturday morning to start packing up their Interbike trade show booth, they discovered their locked cables had been cut and 6 mountain bikes had been stolen at some point during the night.

‘These bikes have a lot of non ride-able parts on them and some frames are not heat treated. They are photo samples only and are not safe to be ridden. In fact, they could be downright dangerous,’ said Wayne Doran, Haro’s Quality Control Specialist. ‘Bike shops should keep an eye out for anyone who brings them in for service or warranty, and consumers should be wary of private individuals trying to sell them a 2006 Haro mountain bike’.

Contact info for Jill Hamilton at Haro bikes is listed in the Pinkbike article. Since these are 2006 models, they shouldn’t be too hard to spot if someone tries to sell them. I’m keeping an eye on Ebay…

    I’m thinking the snap of a seat post at just the right time would be good punishment for these idiots.

    The scary thing is that these might, (probably) get parted out. You can usually get more money this way. Some unsuspecting, innocent MTB’er may end up with one of these “unrideable” parts!! It’ll be harder for someone to detect, even if they knew about this thievery in advance!

    prolly the damn union guys that work there.

    we had some gloves on display there one year.
    a union worker asked if they where for sale to which we told him that we needed them to show them. hmmmm guess what went missing that night?
