Where are you from?

Go and check your local fields, my DT100 got stolen -from the front of my house- when I was 16, they were on -the field behind my house- Confused

Chances are if you don't find it, the police won't, and if they do it'll most likely be burnt out. How did it get stolen?

Sorry to hear

51% of stolen vehicles get returned (what condition they're in, in that statistic I don't know! If someone gets a burnt husk back, that may well count as getting it back).

I had an MZ 250 stolen and got it returned a few days later. It'd been dumped about 500 yards from my house in an alleyway, and the shits had tried to set fire to it.

I'd scout round the local area first.

I believe that's for cars. For bikes it's in the region of 10-20% i believe.

Suggest you do go and look for it anywhere it's likely to ragged round, as it's a 125 the chance of it being abused like this is high (especially if you didn't have much security on it to deter casual kiddies).
