    I am not quite as gutted as I would be if it was a radarites personal pride and joy it has to be said. It is perhaps a tad foolish leaving them in a lorry overnight however - not like your average truck is overly secure.

    The good thing is that there is no market for Trek stuff in the wake of the LA scandal so they'll be delivered straight back. ;)

    Won't cost Trek anything, the haulier on the other hand should hope that he's insured. That is unless Trek provided the wrong consignment detail and all that was stolen was a bunch of low range BSOs.
