Absolutely heartbreaking for the recipients of these thefts.
My thoughts are with them, I would be absolutely devastated and beside myself if one of mine was stolen. Being in the Mod fraternity for over 40 years I can’t believe these despicable acts still occur.
Growing up as a teenage Mod on a council estate during the 80’s Mod revival it was quite a common occurrence, but seriously we’re all grown up now, have jobs and families!
Seriously sickens me to know that low life’s are still taking these type of scooters today.
Surely being Brighton, there is CCTV coverage of the main roads which the authorities can check to see what vans were around at the times these scooters were taken.
Because let’s face it they would have obviously used a van of some description.
What an upsetting ending to a brilliant weekend.
I hope there is a positive result for the owners of these scooters.
The green scooter is my husband was lovingly restored to a high standard and then these scum bags just take what they want
The red and white series 2 is my stepson’s, he’s only 20 and it was his pride and joy and hobby. He spent lots on it, he’s devastated!
Did it have 2 cat tail key rings on it?
