stolen bike

This just in:

Last night or early this morning someone decided they needed my brand new KTM 200 EXC 2013 model more than I did. It is brand new and I haven’t even gone for a ride.

Stolen from Allara St in the City, opposite the pool in a restricted access garage, it was chained up and they took that also, no evidence of it being cut etc.

Rego: 88722. No mirrors and the stock orange hand guards replaced with orange barkbusters.

If anyone sees it, or the people, can the police be called, or an email shot off to

rtk421@gmail.com (It’ll be received instantly)

There is no such thing as a secure carpark unless there is someone on the gate with a gun.

And the person with the gun isn’t corrupt.

When I got my first job, I bought a new motorbike. It was my pride and joy. The morning after I picked it up I rode it in to work and, at lunchtime, took my workmates down to show it off. It was gone.

Here’s what I suspect happened…

The place I’d bought it from sent some crooks to follow me in and see where I’d parked it. Once I was safely out of sight, they, undoubtedly dressed in overalls with “Honest John’s Motorbike Repair” picked it up, chain and all, and loaded it into a van. No doubt the profits were split with the shop that sold it to me.

No doubt the same scam’s still working.

Of course I reported it to the police – a waste of an hour that I’ll never get back.

I’m curious. Did you wear your tinfoil hat over your motorbike helmet or was the tinfoil protection enough?

I believe the OP now has CCTV photos of the offenders. Hopefully he’ll have them posted up soon.

I would of thought it would be safer to park in a secure parking area. I will always park my MC in the public spots from now on.

I know of a certain “secure” carpark that’s broken into on a regular basis. A locked carpark has its own pros and cons.

Outstanding piccys .. shows how good cctv vision has become. Must price one for the ranch.

I’ve noticed over the last six months that there is more human waste polluting Civic than usual. Perhaps a day time cull is in order?

There’d be less opposition to it than to the kangaroo cull.

There’s a house near me where I suspect some stolen motorbikes go to be rehomed, I’ll keep an eye out for that one, it’s rather distinctive.

How the heck did they manage that?? I would of thought it would be safer to park in a secure parking area. I will always park my MC in the public spots from now on. I hope they catch these losers and you get your bike back that is brutal. I hate bloody thieves, get a real job and buy your own MC.

Oh btw have you posted on CanberraRiders.org? There is a section for stolen bikes and it is quite a big community of MC riders.

Good to see security doing their job. I’ve noticed over the last six months that there is more human waste polluting Civic than usual. Perhaps a day time cull is in order?

@#$%^&! Scumbags
