Oh no!

Post by iansoady »

Just gone out to the garage and both the XBR and the Tri-Greeves have gone. The Norton is still there fortunately but I wouldn't be surprised if they came back for it. Obviously people who knew what they were doing and must have known the bikes were there. We've had various builders / landscapers over the last few years and some of them have seen the bikes but it's pointless pointing fingers.

I've had plenty of bikes stolen in the past but this is a first from a locked garage.

If anyone's offered bits please let me know.

Hope you get them back mate.

This is why I have three Rottweilers and a Belgian Malinois and I have cameras all over the place.

Hope the fuckers die a very slow death.

Oh man, what a sickener. :(

I wish them what Bigjawa said...but excruciatingly painful too.

Thats shit, have you been round neighbouring properties to see if they have anything on their CCTV or video doorbell footage for vehicles or people that could be involved ?

Might be worth a punt

Move the Norton somewhere!
Or get some shed mines asap and rebar the bike to the floor.

Yep, relocate that bike before it disappears. Fucking douche bags.

Thanks all. I'll beef up security but I do feel that if someone wants your bike(s) they'll find a way.... No local CCTV etc as I live in what I considered a very quiet cul de sac.

That's a fucker. :(

Utterly gutted for you.

It does seem like an odd couple of bikes to "target" so it may well be opportunists, worth getting the old bill involved, they are trying to chase up thefts but their budgets are stretched. You never know - the scrote might get caught for something else and cop to your theft in a plea.

I assume the police are involved…what’s their approach?
