F*cking Theives!

[owen2200]

absolute gutted, bike pinched out of garage of only having it 5 months
god i hate theives!

excess is £500 aswell

[Alexio]

Very unlucky mate! I have the same excess so I feel your pain.

Although, when my bike went walkies it turned up a few days later, so if it was stolen for joy riding the chances are that not all is lost when I first reported it I was told to check any local fields etc. I wish I had of now as I would have found it immediately. I ended up just fixing the cosmetic damage that resulted myself rather than go through the insurance route. I hope this ends well enough for the same to happen with you! What bike was it?

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[owen2200]

ahh nice ill check out the fields,
nothing pricey just a xt125 09 plate and had it from new only 5 months ago though, so the vvalue of the bike should be still relatively like the same as when i bought it? i am fully comp so if bikes not found what will the insurance company do? will them pay me out the value of the bike, i am selling the bike before christmas anyway becuase im halfway through my A2 an want a bigger bike

the insurance says its only valid if i have either a D lock, disk lock or chain on it at all times when away from the bike. And i had a disk lock on it

[Alexio]

If you claim they'll either give you a new bike, repair your bike for you (if found) or they might write off your bike if found and beyond economical repair and so they'll give you money or a new bike anyway. And yes, it goes by what they value the bike at.

That's after you pay them the excess and then you will also have lost your NCB Clearly the disk lock wasn't enough!

[owen2200]

ahh how long do you think it will take for there decision to come through? im not gonna enjoy using buses in the meanwhile haha
arghh shit forgot about that, ncb could have been helpful seeing as im only 17 and insurance prices are completley silly. but then again idont suppose ive lost any years of having no claims

[Alexio]

[owen2200]

yeah i have a crime reference number,
ive contacted the insurance company and now i have to wait until 15th december until i can have a proper half hour chat with them over the phone about everything. thats over 2 weeks away
ive read the insurance booklet and if you are fully comp one of the options if your bike is stolen and not recovered is that they will replace the bike with a brand new one of the same model, thats if your stolen bike was under 6 months old. that sounds good but it going to take ages to sort out

cant deal with £1.80 bus journeys everywhere

Good luck finding your bike :l How the FUCK did they get in to your garage, get a disc lock off and escape with your bike without you or neighbours or passers by noticing? Do you live on a farm in the desert?

I had a mate who had two bikes nicked from his garage. Both shackled to ground anchors. Lawmowers and other junk deliberately placed in the way to make it more difficult for thieves. Really strong, secure garage door. Garage alarmed. Went down in the morning, both gone. How the fuck do these bastards do it?

Make sure you beef up security a LOT as the m*****f****** may well come back when you (eventually) get your shiney replacement from the insurance co.

Do insurance companies ask for proof of security when you claim?

[c-m]

if you are fully comp you should be entitled to a hire bike. i'd get back on the phone to them asap.

They should bring one out next working day.
