MARCH 11, 2003 -- LAKE FOREST, CA (BRAIN)--The GT Technical Division's Lake Forest, California
office was burglarized March 4 and seven bicycles were stolen. The burglars may be in for a
surprise, though, as some of the bikes were missing key parts or were not heat-treated.

Chris Holmes, GT's marketing manager, requests that anyone who may see bikes of the following
descriptions call their local police department and GT at (949) 461-5946.

The following were stolen:

1) Gloss black Jim Busby prototype full suspension bike. "This bike is not heat-treated. Whoever
rides it will kill themselves the minute they go off anything bigger than a curb," Holmes said.

2) 2003 DH-i, size M, dark grey in color, wrong upper crown on Boxxer Team fork

3) 2003 Ruckus i-Drive 1.0, size M, dark grey, missing rear shock and hardware

4) 2003 i-DRIVE 1.0, size L, stock 2003 bike, silver/gold/grey

5) 2003 i-DRIVE 2.0, size M, stock 2003 bike, black/grey/blue

6) 2002 i-DRIVE 2.0, size L, silver with 2004 dark gray RockShox Duke Race fork, XT/XTR parts, DT
Swiss rear shock, WTB wheelset and SDG black/silver saddle

7) 2003 Jamie Bestwick Pro, stock bike, dark green < end >

This is classic, "This bike is not heat-treated. Whoever rides it will kill themselves the minute
they go off anything bigger than a curb," Holmes said.

And this would be different from their "typical" production crap how???
