Sorry to hear this, and gutted for you after you'd got it so nice after all the work and pimping.

But being harsh but fair, I could only every see this happening with you using it as a daily and leaving it parked in town.

You'll be very lucky if it was not stolen by chavvy scum, that just want an hour of trashing and abuse before torching it. I'd certainly not be in too much of a hurry to want it back, or expecting anything more than a burnt out wreak with hardly any useable parts left on it.

I've known of two MX bikes one junior and a full size 125 that were stolen and found without serious damage or many parts missing. Its probably because they were hoping to sell them on whole, or wanted to part them out for more cash.

Few off roaders end up this way though if it's kids that snatch them away.

What was it chained to?

[Sean.S]

Cheers. Well id gone into tesco so the bike was left in the car park in a parking space where there wasn't anything to chain it to. So i put the bike on the steering lock and put my chain through the back wheel and part of the frame. I also chained my shoei race rep helmet to it so theyve nicked that in all

Yeah i didnt notice anyone following me but it was gone within the hour. annoying thing is a year ago I left my old bike in the same spot countless times without any problems. I guess now im just hoping the insurance will pay out because like it was said above i probably wouldnt want it back now, i just hope the insurance company wont try and screw me over by finding a thrashed field bike crm on ebay for £600 and tell me thats what my bike is worth

Anyway until then im just going to have to cut my losses, im going to view a yamaha yzf today, which should be more practical and less attractive to theives

Ah thats gay. Liked the pimp up thread.

Afraid I always lock my bike to something, currently its chained to the cars towing eye

I hope you find it

Pikeys gotta pike.

Is Dibble at all interested?

Bristol seems to be bad for this lately. Any new pikey nests sprung up locally?

As others have said, I'll keep them peeled.

Really sorry to hear that.

Does the car park have any CCTV coverage? If so, I'd be looking to get the footage. Even if where you parked it isn't directly covered by the cameras, if the entrance/exit is then you might be able to pick up a van entering and leaving suspiciously quickly in that time frame.

That's absolutely gutting, you worked so hard on that bike and it was looking mint

Have you checked local pikey hotspots and generally scummy zones? Post up on local bike pages on Facebook too, sometimes you get the odd name dropped in of people who are known to go for a five fingered discount wherever possible.

No doubt the police will protect the scrotes who stole your bike. A few years ago
someone broke into my car and stole the radio cassette and causing lots of damage. 2 days later in a different location the villan tried to sell me the above item.
I got arrested and cautioned for 'holding someone against their will'
Police are wankers .....

Im keeping an eye out but i have to be careful where i post as well, because somebody trying to sale the bike online maybe the best chance i have of seeing that bike again, so i cant really share stolen bike posts on all the facebook selling pages, but at the same time i do want to get the pictures out there... Its a tricky one



The bike would of been lifted into a van because it couldnt be wheeled away so if the plate recognition camera at the car park picks up only one van going into the car park at the time of theft and its obvious thats the theif, then the police still wouldnt do anything, its absolute bullshit. Apparently they cant investigate someone they havent caught in the act, i didnt know it was illigal to investigate someone who could possibly be innocent, if it was then surely no crimes would ever get solved

Like i said, absolute bullshit

[P.]

You mean the van driver stole it at gunpoint.
