Hey all. A friend of mine just got her brand new Turner 5-Spot stolen. It really sucks because she just got it built up to race sea otter. Here is the e-mail she sent me with the info. It happened in Big Bear and apparently they have had alot of expensive bikes come up missing recently in that area so be on alert. Here is her e-mail:
Hello all far and wide, (I think I may have every corner of the world covered in this e-mail) My 5 spot Turner I raced at Sagebrush last week, was stolen from my front doorstep today in Big Bear.
While preparing for a ride, working on my disc brakes, I went in to make a call to my mechanic to find out how to remedy a problem I was having. When I opened the
door, it was gone. I was 10 feet away from it, for 5 minutes, and literally they had to come into my yard, to my front door step where I sat on the other side of the front door, to take it.
It was brand new (only one pic below that you can't really even see it) built with Sea Otter, Sage Brush and Super D, in mind.
It's sparkly silver, with black Turner letters, a Manitou black front fork, Romic shock, TI spring, WTB Laser-light disc wheels, Hays 6"disc brakes, Truvativ 2"riser DH bars black, FSA black cranks, triple chainring and shimano clipless pedals, sram front a rear triggers, x.o derailleur, maxxis mobsters (bran new), odi lock grips.

The sheriff has been looking and so have I to no avail. I was informed that several expensive bikes have been stolen this past 2 weeks in Big Bear, some right from the bike shops bike racks in front of the Bear Valley Bikes store! They are taking the
most expensive bikes. Today they had a choice (my garage was open) but they took the 5spot. They could have taken a Cheeta slalom bike, a custom hardtail, BMX, etc. But
they knew which one was the best. They rode it out of my driveway. They didn't take the extra set of wheels right next to it, because their hands were full I imagine.
Anyway, if anyone see's it, or anything like it being sold in some suspect place, mtbr, ebay, wherever, please let me know. I have the serial number to confirm if found.
Thank you.

P.S. Her's is the silver one behind the red one in the picture. She didn't even really have it long enough to have a good pic of it. Also, I didn't know if she wanted me posting her contact info on a message board so just PM me or e-mail me if you have any info and I will pass it along to her.
