Update on my brother's stolen YBR125 from Feb.

[sabian92]

I know this is dragging shit up a little bit, but hold on.

I posted this back in Feb when some cunt robbed his bike. Police couldn't find it and gave up on it. It never pinged up on ANPR cameras for reasons we couldn't understand and he left it at that.

However, he didn't lock it up in his girlfriend's garden and so MCE did their "Nah mate, not our problem, we're not paying out on it cause you're a mong innit" so he continued paying the 40-something quid a month on his finance (I know, I know... ) and chalked it up to experience. He passed his A2 tests and bought a "characterful" GPZ500 Point being though, he still owns the bike. MCE don't.

Phone rang on Thursday, and PC Plod from Greater Manchester Police asked if he was the gentleman who'd had bike PK13DKN stolen in February. He was, and he expected them to say it'd been found burned out in a forest, exported to Eastern Europe, that sort of thing.

Turns out it's in exactly the same condition he last saw it in. Even more bizarrely.... it was found three fucking doors down in some scrote's garage (literally - it was robbed from number 61, scrote in question lives at 58). They'd robbed it, pushed it in there, gone on holiday for a month and forgotten about it Called the police themselves, claimed somebody had dumped a bike in their garage () and they didn't know what to do with it, so left it in there.

He picks it up next week Least fucking ambitious thief ever.

I'm as baffled as you lot probably are but either way, these stories don't always end badly, considering most 125s end up burnt out on the local common, I think it's a decent outcome.

Edit: carnt spell gud innit

Dat plot twist Well, that was unexpected. Glad to hear it's okay and he's getting it back. The thief though, whoever it is, they need help.

Help at being a thief, maybe...

A close eye needs to be kept on the residents of number 58, they can't be trusted.

And he's now gonna let you ride it?

Yeah that story makes literally no sense. Could have been the scrotes parents wanted it gone or something, maybe they realised after months of it sitting there their sons hard earned purchase was a bit suspicious

Anyway why did MCE refuse to pay out? Did he have security devices listed on his insurance?

TLDR version

His brother got his girlfriends neighbour to hide his bike so he could scam the insurance (and failed at that).

^ Old ass in non-NSFW thread, ban kthx.

They should be getting questioned about handling stolen goods, if a bike suddenly appears in your garage you don't leave it there for 9 months and do nothing.

Steering locks can prevent a theft, it saved a pals CBF, so if the thieves were that useless it could have thwarted them.

Your brother didn't tell MCE he left the steering lock off did he? Don't understand why the bike has to be locked to something either, unless you put a ground anchor in everywhere you park...

Also doubt the police will do anything, unless your caught in the act, with a signed confession, then you'll probably still have a good chance of getting away with it.

I'd be asking where it said in my policy that I had to lock the bike up, of course after actually reading it

When asked if it was locked up, why was the answer not "Yes I always lock it up"

How the fuck are they going to know any different?
