My Orange Patriot STOLEN

On the way home from today's epic, I popped in to see a couple of mates.
When I came out 20 or so mins later, my bike was gone, along with the bungees.
I will put a full spec list up later.
Was stolen from the Newburn area of Newcastle, any help would be appreciated.

inners is amazing!!! Its a tough old ride up to the top but the descents are the best ever and you can ever add in make or break a really good bit of freeride stuff in half way down. Its my favourite route - even though its where the F@%k*ng rock that broke two of my ribs is lol. its even better than tress! where do you guys stay then?? Weve booked a static van in inners - oct's too cold for me to camp being a big girly wuss!!
