Has someone come home with a brand new black and green Milazo bike with some speckles of mud on tyres and frame that you didn't know they had. Or has anyone seen a bike of this description dumped anywhere? The seat is up on this red adventurer bike so I presume it is an adult or tall person. My son is devasted at this lost. It has happened somewhere between 12.00 pm last night and this morning. I live on Racecourse road between Bucannans and Waterloo road. Could it have been someone you know that works at the many factories close by that have turned up with a new bike at work today? I am on my own and it took a great deal of savings to purchase this for my son I am very distraught at the thought that somebody could just help themselves. If you know anything please call Tracey 0273802571

Although designed to initially take a 29” old style box tv, (hence the depth), it was made with the intention of upgrading to a 40” flat screen. However we upgraded to a 50 inch which don’t fit but did use recently at last house for stereo and record collection.

Design allows for unit to sit either against a flat wall, or can be diagonal over a room corner as the ends of the unit are angled

Gold iPhone 8 (64GB) in absolutely perfect condition.
I have used this phone for just one day, indoors.
No scratches, dents or faults of any kind.
I bought this iPhone in South Korea but due to the law in Korea, the camera shutter sound is on by default and unable to be turned off or down.
This is the only reason I am selling it.
There is nothing wrong with this iPhone and it is in a practically brand new state.
I bought this phone for my daughter but the camera sound is unnecessary for her as she is a student and the camera shutter sounds, breaking the concentration and learning tension in the classroom environment.
Also comes with a free glass screen protector that was applied by professionals in South Korea.
Includes free premium shockproof transparent case. :)

Price: $1,100
