Took a spur of the moment trip to the_godfather off heres house last night, he woke me up at 10 in the morning to tell me that my bike had been nicked, great!

Anyway, after a quick trip round the block to check the obvious places we gave the police a shout, it turns out they caught two 15 year old shits riding it at 3am last night, by the time they had turned the car around the kids had ditched it and hidden in a garden, they were arrested, the police have the bike in forensics now, because they didn't actually catch the kids on the bike they need to find prints or something on it, the only damage I know about so far is that the plate was ripped off, I'm guessing since it was dumped it will be dented and scratched and also the ignition will be wrecked, just got to wait and see. For the time being I am stuck 120 miles from home, in Loughborough, I'm going to miss a few days work until I get a bike sorted, so hopefully the insurance will cover loss of earnings.

Anyway, that's all just thought id let you all know.

That was Matt trying to be funny.

Glad you got your bike back mate. Sounds like you were very lucky indeed. Not only do you get your bike back, but you get a couple of days off work too. Keep us posted R.E the damage and give those bastards a kicking if you see them Mr. Green

Shame about the bike but at least they didn't keep it

at least they ripped off the plate and got busted, if they never ripped it off they might have got a way with stealing it Karma

So fucking angry! Got told today that the police can't convict the kids because there is a lack of evidence! They saw them riding the god damn bike what more do they want???

My experience exactly last time I had a bike stolen. Except in my case the copper caught him in the act of filling it with petrol and had CCTV footage of him riding it into the filling station.

Makes you wonder what exactly, short of a witnessed confession signed in their own blood, would be considered sufficient evidence.

It's the shite law that gives them the excuse of not knowing it was stolen and having to actually see them take the vehicle.
Sometimes it's shite, sometimes it's for the good, the victim doesn't come into it at all, just justice for the crim's.

Good to hear your bike was found,

Maybe, but it is pretty much unrideble, the electrics are messed to hell, the ignition can be turned by any key and I have no speedo where they messed up breaking the stearing lock.

All in all the bike is fucked!

Looking to take out a loan in the new year and get a decent bike sorted, thinking RF900 at the moment.

We shall see
