You think you're having a bad day?

One year ago I had my first TMax stolen after less than two months of ownership. That was on my birthday.

A replacement was sorted after much arguing with the insurance company. Fast forward to the summer and it gets stolen but this time there's a tracker on it. I get it back the same morning.

Today I'm on a train heading to Bruges to celebrate my birthday and I get a message from the tracking company, yup you guessed the TMax has been stolen again. This followed by a message from a neighbour that three men I a transit lifted it and threatened him.

Police are now receiving the scooter while I try and enjoy my birthday in Bruges.

Seriously considering giving up on TMaxs and buying a BMW C650. Surely no one will want to nick one of those...

Hope it's not damaged when plod find it.

The perils of owning a scoot... they are all ultra-thievable.

At least it's being recovered...

happy birthday

[Dodgy69]

Capital punishment will sort it, might have to wait another 20 years mind. Sorry for your shit news.

[Sunny]

That sucks. Happy birthday chap - may your luck improve!

[Skub]

A shit sandwich. Perhaps you ought to invest in a large dog with over developed territorial instincts.

Happy birthday,aside from all that.

Capital punishment will sort it,

A grip on reality will do more good

I had to look up what a TMax is.. I think the thieves were doing you a favor

If you've never ridden one you wouldn't understand.

That's crap that really is. Says a lot about how things are in the UK

Jail is no deterant for these scumbags. A loss of freedom for a few weeks.

Does it matter what you think of it? It's someone's pride and joy - even if it's 'only' transport, it's something that's had money and care spent on it.

I've lived in the US for 32 years & the UK for 31 years... During my time in the US I've known fewer than 10 people* have their bikes stolen... & that includes people on US forums like this, owners clubs & FB etc.

*I think the actual number is 6

£25 immobiliser bypasser off of eBay and they can ride it. Its frightening how easy it is to hotwire bikes.

I don't get this sentimentality. My pride and joy bike is no more important than next door's Mondeo.

But you'd probably be pretty pissed if someone said "oh the thieves did you a favour by knicking that bike (whichever bike it was)" ??

Even if it isn't a pride and joy, as I said, its a form of transport that someone chose and bought. No one is doing that person a favour by stealing it!!

[Dunxster]

It's not just the theft. That's bad enough given it was locked to a ground anchor with a god almighty expensive Almax chain, it was threatening my neighbour when he saw them nicking it that really rankles.

Thats cos you've not owned an Africa Twin.
