yeah you guys are right we should be like the rest of this country and not hurt anyones feelings or point out what they did wrong with the aim of maybe educating them in to never doing it again or making the same mistake .

child burns hand in fire [ do not point out why it burnt or why he should have never put hand in fire ]

we all feel for the guy and feel anger about the theft but at the same time post where he went wrong in the hope it never happens again to him or to others reading this topic .

I know myself have seen many such topics like this on here and we always state put locks on do not advertise you location or what you own but still we see it happening and its heartbreaking to see some scum steal a bike that had so much work put in that could be totaly trashed now and brush painted black .

at the same time we also try to help the guy . I for one did and am still searching/watching for any parts or bikes that maybe his or have parts from his and will do so for a while in a hope that we find it or find who stole it .



MDK, if you read what I put I agreed with your original point. I feel like I'm repeating myself but here we go... Its more the comments from boxing and yz that were a little dissapointing to see. "obviously has too much money" etc.

You can educate people without ramming their mistakes in their face repeatedly. This isnt a course in how to lock a bike up. I'm sure seb knows how to do that, he just made a mistake and lost out. His lesson has been learnt in the fact that his bike has now gone. He doesnt need any more than that does he?

I really don't know how people like YZ get through life. He's pulled up on being rude to a forum member at a sensative time and responds by calling him a "wolly". No such word as far as i can see. Did no one ever tell you 'if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing'. No one would be commenting on your spelling if you weren't writing stupid things. The poor spelling just highlights it.

Good luck finding the filth and the bike mate, i will keep an eye out for ya im london area, aslong as they haven't resprayed it and plan to keep it its just a black and orange framed 2 stroke too look out for

 even if they spray over the orange  or strip it there are one or more things that are always gona stand out  about this bike that a lick of paint will not hide .

for one thing the black engine is not something you see a lot and its gona take a lot of time effort and work to hide that .

another thought why most of the bikes never come back to their owners. lets say the **** who stole my dt has grounded off the vin of the frame, even if police recovers it somehow they cannot tell it is my bike without the vin, well they can but its not like every single PO in the country has seen a picture of my dt and its on a look out for it. so what happends to a bike that is recovered without the vin?

 very true . 

thats why I have  number stamps and stamp house number and poste code-vin on every part of the bike some in places the common theif will over look .

I have in the past used a dremmil and engraved  [if found pls contact name adress tel ] on the inside of plastics under seats/tanks and sometimes on the inside of engine caseings .

those uv security marker pens are also a good option .

sad fact is as said above  they recover a bike from some scrote who tells them its legal I bought it of the net as a field bike or stolen recoverd bike . they impound it for months with little leg work to find the owner .

if no owner is found they crush but most of the time sell them in auctions or as I have seen a lot give it back to the chav scum as they could not prove it was nicked along with a police recipt wich then makes it a legal bike for the theif .

 

they expect everyone to have good insurance on everything to cover for theft and have little thought for those of us that can not afford such things they dont realy care if you get your items back or not only thing they care about is getting a theif and conviction to boost numbers or up in rank.

now if you had a unpaid fine or no tax for the same bike they would be all over you like fleas on a dog with at least 1 copper dedicated to getting you to pay .

I know a guy localy had a new golf top spec nicked he later spotted his custom wheels on a same golf on ebay along with his bonnet and bumper that he knew was his as they was all customised by him . he contacted the police ect and little or nothing was done they never even asked him for the ebay listing or number .
he had to do all the legwork himself making fake ebay acount and going to view the car taking photos and getting sellers details he never got the car or parts back and the seller said he bought the parts himself via free ads along with the much of the engine that was also from his car .

this country is total fcked with its only aim is to force tax and fines on us or some other ways to make us pay that then leads us all to work more-longer and harder end result pay out even more tax .

you miss paying your tv licence and they are down on you like hawks but if you get robbed or burgled they take hours if not days to come out and do little when they do .

anyways rank over .

lets hope for some luck and maybe it will show up or be found like other on here weeks later

we all see them day in day out even some of us buy them always listed as stolen recoverds or field only bikes no numbers or paperwork for around £400+ and in most cases we or other buys care little where it came from if its cheap and has a mint engine . well we do care but do little or nothing to find out where it came from as in most cases with numbers ground off it would be near impossible to trace any details .

now if we all got number stamps and stamped tel no or post code on inside of caseings or around the bike then maybe some one like us may think hmmm Im gona check this out or call the number with details and who I bought it from .

Ok I see. lets just hope it recovers somewhere local, around here aint many fields, plus they would have to buy a dtr wheels for it, and front brake as the brembo wnt fit on the dtr without mods, so im just hoping they are all too lazy

 Your bike is very distinctive with colours. So as long as not frame on own should get it back.

 

If they grind VIN off frame but not engine they cut a hole in frame with grinder so it can't be used on road as they don't know for sure if it's your frame or not. 

i replaced the bottom end on the bike so the engine number dsnt match up the v5 but i dont know what the new number was :(

I know. Had a long ride around the area to see if my baby might be still parked up somewhere but no luck. But i was shocked to see how many bikes without locks are all around on the street. From hornets to r1s and why my poor dt got stolen than

bit random but i know a guy who use to rig his shed door so that when they open it a shotgun shell goes off with rubber pellets or something, so next time they just cut a hole out the side of the shed to get the bike

 you mean the

Henry Krank Alarm Mine

  they been around years http://www.airsoftworld.net/alarm-trip-mine-12g.html 

and still used by many most cases they fire just blanks rubber pellets or somthing would be very illegal .

yeah the bigger bikes are much harder to start and or sell on not to mention ride off road I have seen 1100 cc bikes change hands for as little as £20 where as most small cc bikes hold some value for off road use .

that said they will still steal the larger bikes to order -ring- or use to do other theft  on and the odd onnes will just steal them for a joy ride at speed round the roads .

 

mine had an alarm but i cannot be 100% sure ifit was even armed. all it takes is to press the wrong button by accident and its completly dissarmed, and im afraid thats what has happend otherwise he wnt be standing outside my house or hour n a half

And your friend would rather them take the bike?
