Got a call from the old bill today - my bike ha been recovered. It was found just under a mile from my house, but they said the bàastards had TRIED to set it on fire...so not sure how bad the damage is. Anyway they told me where it was recovered from so I shall be doing some 'door to door enquiries' of my own. Hopefully it's just cosmetic. I'm assuming they couldn't bypass the immobiliser so meh. Possibly happy to get it back tho, was watching old vids of it earlier today...

Gut wrenching when you get told it's been set alight :( luckily when mine went missing they managed to get it running and ride it just until the head gasket went again. They stashed it only for the landlord of the pub to find it and lock it away and phone the police. Were lucky really

Nah he's not, when my XR got stolen I had to pay 560 quid to get it back cos that was in Leicester and I was down in London and couldnt get up there to recover it. Ended up going to auction cos I couldn't afford to retrieve it :(

Yeah. I was we'll lucky. Mine got robbed and I got a phone call and within minutes I was up there pushing it back. Worst of all I had to push it past the people who stole it off me. I knew who done it. I knew they were watching. What did the police do? Ah that's ryt. Nothing.

Most of us have been there and I can only say to those who haven't been so misfortunate. Just keep it locked. Locked and locked again. No matter where you're going. DON'T RELY ON THE STEERING LOCK. I've gotten rid of my steering lock. One less thing to replace

It was locked with a £130 chain to my porch, alarmed and inmobilised and steering lock...

But yeah it was nicked Xmas day...it was found on 3rd march...just as it was sunny so reckon they tried to get it running and failed.

I'll have a look tomorrow but I will guarantee you I will see it before handing any cash over...

Only their throat cut? I'd be more worried about getting bummed by you Nath. Now I know it's just risking getting my throat cut I think it's worth it.

 wow tha sux mate ..

 

so it was nicked  xmas day and only found now ?  chances are they have had it running and been useing it from that day ?  maybe only now has the engine blown or something and like most chavs they would rather try burn it out than get it recoverd some way ..

and +1 to the recovery and storage charges  know lots of ppl  had to pay £150 ish for recovery then all diff charges per day ... some plods use random garages to recover and store bikes

Well it's either they kept it stored till that sunny spell and failed to get it started then lit it or they ran it till it went bang. Had done about 40 miles on new top end when stolen so meh. What I don't get about the recovery is what if its just a burnt out shell? Presumably they would just say oh it's a goner and not either bother collecting it?

Had the insurance not paid out on it yet? if so surely its their baby to get out of compound, then offer it back to you, if trashed /fired.

That a point if they have and offer to let you buy it back of them they work on the basis that it will be worth 10% of original value , so I am led to believe by a guy that I know who is in the trade ,

Was off the road so no insurance.

Anyway...picked it up today. £160 for it!

Here are some pics...it's actually not too bad. Seems like they tried to torch it via the handle bars :/ so all it did was melt the bar guard and some of the wires to brake switch and starter switch etc. I think they didn't even manage to get it started!! Think the immobiliser stumped them. The ignition barrel was totally removed and the wires all shorted together as shown in the pic. The tyres, wheels, chain, sprockets, grips, levers and lots of other bits are all fine. There is petrol still in the tank and 2stroke bottle is still full! I put it in gear and pushed it along and it turns over so meh.

Little project I think!

Bad times Sgt sad to see the images of your pride and joy in this way. cry

I think bike theives don`t burn bikes to hide DNA most of them are clued up to wear gloves to hide their dabs. The only time I think the law would be trying to get DNA from the vehicle for eg if they have firm suspicion of the person they may have in custody caught shortly after a persuit with that particular vehicle. To prove that they was on or in that vehicle. Or the vehicle was found to be used in more serious criminal way robbery etc. The Police have to justify to the CPS their evidence is concrete to make the case stand up in court thats why all evidence is handed to the CPS for them to make the decision to run with the case in court. Its the CPS that prosecute not the police. Thats why the Police have it black and white or not at all its as simple as that.

I believe the theives do it out of pure spite.

If they don`t want what they have taken from you or they feel or believe its gonna be too on top to keep the property they have taken. They fire it. Lets face it they took it off you in the first place letting you have it back undamaged is not on their agenda they take great pleasure in laughing about the earner they have done & having you over its a kind of ego thing for them.

 

I`m glad you got her back Sgt I know its no help but try and keep ya chn up matey smile
