(Updated to how case number)

2010 Reign X, with various changes / upgrades over time. This bike is my baby. Please, please help me find her.

Silver frame with green accents
Fox DHX5 rear shock
Marzocchi 66 RC3 fork
White Spank Subrosa wheels built on Green Superstar Hubs w Alligator Pizza front rotor & Avid floating rear rotor
Muddy Mary & Rock Razor combo
X9 type 2 RD
X7 Shifters
KS Lev Seatpost
Blue Dartmoor Trail Saddle
Guide RS brakes
X01 crankset
Truvativ chain guide
Green Santa Cruz branded grips
Kore Bear Claw stem
Rapide 780mm bar

This thing is my baby.

Apart from the green grips, white & black fork and green accents, she has Superstar Components logos placed on the top tube & chainstay. She also has Grebel's frame protection film on the bottom of the down-tube. The hoses from the Guide brakes were yet to be cut, so they're kinda loopy on the frame and look kinda weird according to my OCD tastes.

I think I'm gonna be sick... Alternatively, I need a beer. Lots of beers.

More about the incident:

I was testing out the bike after swapping lower linkages (Pain or shine lent me his after mine broke 2 years ago, and I just got a replacement so I switched them out) and just riding around the Pinelands area after dropping my lightie, when I was stopped by a bakkie. Well, they blocked me, and 2 charlie males got out and just pushed me off the bike, chucked it into the bakkie and sped off.

I just sat there, bemused.

Case number will be this afternoon when I can get to the police station and report it.
