Wow. All of Finland will be hunting for a druggy in a RedBull helmet and poofy moto pants. Should take all of 5 minutes to beat him down.

good news from Matti's Facespace:

Just got good news that my INTENSE M9 has been found from Estonia and police have it! Thanks to everyone who spread the word!!!

 

[Kevin]

Friggin scum of the earth... Hope they get a little jailtime and internal beatings with a police baton...

 

[epic]

Gulag anyone?

Stealing that bike is a lot like stealing a car. You would have to get it hidden and repainted to have any chance of not being caught. I'm surprised they didn't part it on the spot after stealing it. Not the brightest crayons in the box. Just glad that he got it back.

It's just retarded to steal something so rare and one-off.

Assholes probably didnt have a clue...

hi, I'm from Estonia, so have some insight.
it was some random russian junkie who has no idea what downhill, intense, m9 etc. is. he was riding it along the city, wearing even the RedBull fullface.
it was posted in our local mtb forum, so local riders knew about it and spotted it. if I understood correctly, the thief had a flat on saturday and went to a shop for a repaire - how stupid can you be.... that's how the mystery started to unfold. today the police took the bike away and i've heard that matti and nigel are really happy.
will post again, when i have heard the full story how the police got the bike back.
