Looks like that's built from 2 bikes.

Red framed bikes didn't have gold forks or black bodywork

Was just typing similar.

I reckon the thief is cocky because he knows he's sourced the parts from multiple bikes so "finding the owner", is almost impossible.

Feed 'em to the pigs Errol.

No, they could be from 04 - 14 as the wheels are the same, front disc's changed from 07.

Red framed bikes should have black wheels, black bikes gold and blue ones silver.

Yeah, of the bike in the OP which has the frame from an 09 which is why I mentioned the colour of the wheels from that model year.
