Don't know the guy or the situation exactly, but borders and east central Scotland is a hotbed for targeted theft the last 5 years or so. Up the east coast into Aberdeenshire/Banffshire is also red hot for it, folk getting followed home, trackers, drones to fly in from the road while you unload bikes out of your T6 into your fortress shed (this happens, mate has been followed twice in this way).
Unfortunately don't have much knowledge to share except that they are exported wholesale. One of my customers was pulled over on a quiet A road by a bunch of them in a stolen/clone plated Isuzu and relieved of his 1 week old nice MTB from back of the car at threat of a lot of violence. Few years back, but still a scary and ridiculous experience.

Posting on behalf of a friend who lives up here in Scotland. He’s based in North Berwick but due to the nature of the bikes stolen it seems appropriate to post this on the forum.
7 bikes in total, some of them fully custom. Doesn’t seem very likely that someone would try and shift these on in Scotland.
