REEB Cycles is offering a free steel frame to anyone who returns Jeff Lenosky’s stolen bikes and video equipment. Jeff was just finishing up a month long trip spreading good vibes in California when his van was broken into outside his hotel in Anaheim, California on April 24th. Thieves took off with his two bikes, his camera gear and his computers, as well as the priceless data on the stolen hard drives.
PRESS RELEASE: REEB Cycles During Jeff Lenosky’s month long Sea Otter Classic west coast tour, rooted in the non-profit Can’d Aid’s children’s bike donations, the REEB Cycles team rider’s van was broken into outside of his hotel in Anaheim, CA the night of April 24th. Everything the 20 year professional and Youtube sensation uses to make a living including his two REEB Cycles bikes, computers, cameras and hard drives with all of his personal and professional data were stolen. REEB Cycles is offering a FREE steel REEB frame for anyone who can help return any of Jeff’s equipment.
Jeff’s West Coast trip included an assembly program where he encouraged over 6,000 kids to get excited about cycling, leading Trail Boss group rides with locals, hosting a Can’d Aid bike build with Work Horse Bicycles and donating 60 new bikes to an entire class of deserving Title One first graders at Highland Elementary while wowing them with his trials skills.
After the long flight home, Jeff stated “It’s completely demoralizing to spend a month on the road, away from my family, spreading good vibes and getting underprivileged kids on bikes to have the trip end this way. Everything I have compiled, personally and professionally, over many years of effort are housed on that equipment.”
Please contact REEB Cycles and Jeff with any details surrounding his stolen property: Jeff@reebcycles.com and reebme@reebcycles.com. The free reward is a REEB Cycles steel frame of your choice, model and size.
How about giving the bike to Jeff and turning in the thieives...
@stonant he didn't kill anyone. we live in a 1st world country where theft is usually just a huge inconvenience, but when you steal from someone, you are really affecting their ability to feed their family. additionally, the same type of sociopaths who care only about themselves and are willing to destroy and take the property that others' worked hard for, are likely not many steps away from (or already have the capacity to) hurting someone physically. so when you consistently prove to them that the public is weak and unable to defend themselves, crime goes up. rape goes up. hot burglary and assault goes up. not a hard concept. the cops brutalize people for all sorts of shit every day, kill the wrong people, and you're on here mad that some guy shot out some thieves tires?
go ahead, downvote me because the truth hurts
also I have my bikes chained up in a locked and alarmed garage, after being burgled years ago by some thieving piece of shit, of which I did'nt get a single penny of compensation for to help toward the hundreds of pounds worth of damage he caused to my garage and car.
never mind though eh, keep hitting the motorist for money
This neighborhood has a good record of citizens thwarting crime. A guy four houses down the street chased a daytime break-in artist across the highway until the cops could take over. There's no better crime repellent than vigilant and aggressive citizens.
It all became worse after the migrant crisis, child rape and rape in general is rampant, stabbings are rampant, thefts are rampant, did you read the story of the little boy that was ass-raped by a migrant because "he hadn't had sex in months and couldn't resist"? ooh but you seem to love them soo soo much lol. Keep it going leftist, it will all end well for you and your people.
Did anyone see the thieves? Did they look like Mickey Mouse or Goofy?
Article sounds like he isnt from California, so I'm guessing he's from a place where you don't have to worry about theft as much.
What a bummer.
It's amazing to me how many "professional" shooters have terrible digital hygiene.
Very few places won’t let you bring bikes/skis in; I always do
PS Those were all my back ups of everything that are usually never all in the same place but were....
2) So weird to me since I live in a place where we rarely lock our doors, and I can leave my expensive bikes on the front porch. But I also know enough to check on this type of crime when I travel. In areas like Cali with a developed outdoor scene, a nice Sprinter is probably like a pot of gold to thieves.
3) The hard drives suck to lose, but REEB is experiencing a viral marketing phenomenon. You can’t pay for publicity this good. This would be a great guerilla marketing campaign.
The worst is when it happens to some poor dirtbag whose has more tied up in their gear than they’ll make in a year and they basically get their entire life stolen and have no way to replace it other than waiting tables or some other shite job.
Illegal coyote smugglers sounds pretty exotic but they don't really start as much trouble as the gringos
If Reeb are willing to give a steel frame to thieves , why not just gives new frame to Jeff.
Sounds like a publicity stunt. How many people are now on Reeb's site checking out frames.
