lost / robbed tax disc

[stooster]

went for a good blast yesterday and came back minus a tax disc.....either it has come off when riding or been robbed.....cant say either way...

do i still need to replace this even though it is now all recorded on computer.....and do i need to report it to bobbies..

bit concerned on someone finding it and cashing in remaining value...only expires in august i think..

any help appreciated,.

cheers

I would report it to the police and the DVLA, I don't know whether you will get another disc or a refund.

IIRC it costs about £8 to get a replacement one, so it's up to you if you want to bother. All that will happen is that the new one will be nicked, too. I haven't displayed mine for years, as at the start they were nicked a couple of times.

Straight from gov website

At the bottom before the links it says to report to the police if it was stolen

£7 for a new one...

I don't know why people rob tax discs, they're useless on anything except the bike they came from, and bike ones aren't worth much anyway unless you have a stupidly large engine.

[stooster]

cheers for that......just phones cop shop and got a ref number...

suppose at £7 its worth replacing it....

cheers for the info

I have had about 3 tax discs robbed over the years, always form central london, If i have the disc now it usually lives in my wallet, but for my current bike i cant be arsed to pay 7/8 quid to replace something that was stolen from me, it shows as taxed to the police, i have been given a bollocking and threats by numerous snotty police about failure to display being an offence, as long as you swallow your pride and do the whole "I had no idea CUNTSTABLE, it must have fallen off/ got nicked yesterday, i'll report that right away" a nice touch is asking if they can take the report then and there as you are genuinely shocked... Either way i think mines up for renewal in April

I've never had one nicked, but if I did I'd replace it.

It's one offence not to have a tax disk, and it's a completely separate one not to display it.

(Not many coppers will do you for it though).

Snap, although i have a colour scanner, i scan it, write COPY, ORIGINAL WITH OWNER, and then leave the real one in a secure place (the ZZR had a lockable compartment)

Only a real CUNTstable would do you for that

Mine lives under the seat on the left hand side. It's displayed, sort of, if I remove the seat.

When I last got pulled and got a producer the tax disc was one of the things I had to produce.

well i had my bike stolen, they cloned my plate..as mine was cracked from a crash earlier..and stole my disc.

apparently when i had no bike at all..i was cruising through london picking up HUGE bike fines like riding in bus lanes, parking on streets..amazing..

I still have no tax disc, reported to cops n dvla..still nothing, they said they will send replacement..never happened, so if i get pulled..i just say that

It wasn't robbed, it was stolen.

If *you* were robbed, then a person would have had to threaten you and demand the tax disc.

sorry.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Had 1 nicked years ago was parked and when I came back the nice traffic warden did tell me I told them it was taxed ( know way of knowing then btw) told me I should replace it and gave me a letter sayin what had happened


Now just report it to Nice police will give you a ref no and can always check I would also advise DVLA of this

Like the idea of coping it thou

[Ant]

i dont display mine because i cant find anywhere on the bike where it looks nice (not that i'd admit that to a police man/woman) i did keep it in my wallet but i think my current one is with all of my other docs in the cupboard!
