All,

Above is a picture of a very unique bike, only one in Canberra that I know of. It was stolen over the weekend (possibly during the 23 hours of service that I put in helping people during the weather event with the SES!)

If you see this Triumph TT600 Sports Bike (Rego: 75112) please call Crimestoppers on 131 444 and report its location to them.

Thank you all.

Billy

p1 google diy car tracker and you’ll find a cheap way of making your own tracking device using an old phone. Insurance companies would save a lot of money if they did their own.

Pity you didn’t have a gps tracker installed on the bike.

Makes me seriously consider this option myself. Probably can’t justify it (my bikes not worth that much any more), but the technology is so cheap now.

Gave the phone and SIM to the cops at Woden. Heard nothing since.

Pity you didn’t have a gps tracker installed on the bike.

Claim temporary insanity and, You, you’d probably get away with it. Or better still, tell the magistrate you’d been traumatised as a child when someone stole your toy motorbike and you’d get off scott free.

Better still, just ‘murder’ them… There hasn’t been a murder conviction here in years, you’d get away with it… Damaging someone probably risks more time in the Symonston Leisure Centre…

I’d love to find the guy who has been stealing bikes in Canberra and wrap a spanner around his face.

Keys definitely not with bike (I have both sets in front of me), looks like they used our tool kit and even my knife/fork/spoon kit out of my army foot locker to unlock the steering and start it, if they did start it and didn’t just roll it onto a ute/truck.

Stolen? Won’t they need to take it somewhere to get the lock barrel changed?

Or did you leave the keys in an accessible place?

Call the numbers on the phone, it will be great! And update us!

Gee, they’re making Triumph bikes again. I always thought the famous old marque had been defunct since 1967.

Only since 1992!!

Nice bike. Should stand out likes dogs balls if they try to ride it around Canberra. Hope it gets found.

Parked in secure garage in Garran, stolen between Friday night and Sunday morning.

Hope it is returned safe and sound, it really sucks when someone steals something you worked hard to get and enjoy riding…like my ex-girlfriend 🙁

“But do something – this crap has to stop!”

You wont stop anything by joining in.

Marco.. The phone might also be stolen. Its just as likely to belong to someone in the suburb who was also robbed. Best let the police sort it out.

Billy Bob hope you get your bike back….

That is indeed a very unique bike. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a uniquer bike than that. 😀

I have his phone and SIM card however.

Sorry for the bike Billy – like the others I really hope you get a result (and who did it).

About this phone and SIM card – what’s your next move mate? Whjatever it is, just be sure that we aren’t reading about you in the papers! But do something – this crap has to stop!

Lovely looking piece of kit that Triumph, I hope you get it back safe and sound.

I also hope you get the chance to administer some “natural justice”.

I have to ask – How?

Yeah, and what did his friends have to say when you rang them?

Unless the would be crime dropped a phone he knocked off from the last house he broke into…

Will keep an eye out, I hope its a good outcome..

Nice bike Billy.

Must have been the night for crims to be out and about.
Some low life attempted a Home Invasion at midnight while I was asleep.
He imagined the noise from the storm would have disguised his attempt at breaking in the front door, and yes, he got away. I have his phone and SIM card however.

People suck! Hope you get it back in one piece.

That sux. Hope you find it mate.

That is truly shit (the theft, not the bike). I hope you get it back.
