*** Stolen 10th June 2025 ***

Anyone who lives in Staffordshire around Lichfield be aware...

Approx 5pm on the 10th, my mate went to a secure apartment block with coded gates to see his Mrs on his BMW R Ninety scrambler which has loads of mods. The apartments are in the town centre so luckily CCTV was present.

He's secured his bike and gone inside and later found his bikes gone.

Police have trawled some CCTV and identified the offenders arriving minutes behind my mate on a white Ducati. They managed to break the steering lock and start it under 2 minutes before riding off together out of the compound.

Keep an eye out when riding and just keep an eye who is riding close to you etc.

I've attached a couple of pics of my mates bike but it's potentially stripped and gone by now.

 

Apologies for the delayed reply, I wanted to ask my mate about security.
Joe, fully agree, I hope karma catches up with them at some point.

Pegscraper, only factory security, steering lock basically as he thought it was safe in a security gated compound so just the factory steering lock. agree tho they got it running and gone very quickly. defo taking a disc lock out with me from now on

 

Tigcraft, apologies for the delayed response. It was key start. it had a GPS nav system and other extras etc but wasn't alarmed or had an immobiliser etc etc. my mate reckons it's a complete case of bad timing as normally it's secured in a garage that's alarmed with CCTV etc. my mates had no update so it's a defo goner. sadly my mate isn't going to replace it as he says whats the point as he gets nailed on insurance etc etc.

 

yeah it's just annoying to think some little nob heads destroy what people work so hard for and enjoy.
