Haro’s Demo Fleet Stolen

October 1st, 2007 by Tim Grahl

From Jill Hamilton of Haro Bikes via Bike Biz:

Over the weekend (9/29-9/30), our trailer and rental Penske van were broken into while parked here at our Vista, CA headquarters. About 30 mountain bikes were stolen that were used at Interbike On Dirt Demo last week.

Anyhow, it’s sort of pointless to give a complete list with sizes, but here’s sort of the run down:

4 Werx Sonix (crema color)
1 Sonix LT (Grey)
5 Sonix S (copper)
4 Werx Xeons (Pearl White…2 have 650b wheels)
4 Xeon S (Grey)
3 Mary SS 29er (1 ginger, 1 lt blue, 1 green)
5 Mary XC 29er (4 tangerine, 1 green)
1 Thread One (green/black fade)
1 Flightline Expert (cream color)
1 alloy 29er hardtail prototype; black with green graphics, green RST M29 fork
1 Masi CXR ‘cross bike (my personal bike)

Provided the thief did not remove them, each bike will have a white tag with a number from 1 to 30 applied on the top tube by the head tube gusset. This was our numbering system used for On Dirt Demo.

This is a sad day for us all since this represents our entire demo fleet. Be wary of any bikes that are on this list that are being sold below market value. You know the drill. If anyone has any information, please contact me at 800-289-4276.

Sons of bitches…

    That’s pretty F’d up, I would usually only expect that kind of activity from the types of people that ride ATV’s!

    Seems there is a story like this every year…

    I noticed the bright yellow Mavic trucks parked in some backlot of a casino on my last day at Interbike and was thinking what sitting ducks they were to anyone who realized the market value of the itmes inside.

    Hey Jill,
    I concur your assessment of their lineage. Although I’m in the southeast US, I will keep an eye open for these bikes. I’ve been saving up for my own Haro but will not patronize a thief.

    Mark,
    Hehe, assessment of their lineage- that was funny.

    It’s scary the scale of the theft- they must have been really well organized.
