This is how quick your pride and joy can be stolen, in broad daylight! Lock it to something peeps! https://www.facebook.com/Wiganmotorcycles/videos/vb.1614346938840293/808875349470925/?type=2&theater
The way they loaded the bike into the back of the van I’d say they’d done this before Most probably the bike will be broken for spares by now.
And there was probably another one on board hence why they didn’t open both doors. Complete and utter scum, boils my piss big time. A worthwhile reminder that it’s so easy to take even a big bike. Lock it if you can’t see it.
Looks like it Billy. The number plates on the van were probably stuck over its proper reg and they probably went round the corner and whipped top plates off the van.
The steering wasn’t even locked on the bike. I know they would still have had the bike away but if the steering had been locked it may have taken them a little longer to load the van and a higher risk of being seen.
Hold on...totally brand new bike Not even PDI Totally unlocked, not even a steering lock on Just left outside and able to be wheeled away Don't get me wrong the shits that stole it deserves a session with Mr Wallace, a blow torch and a pair of pliers. But the owners did absolutely nothing to prevent it. The simplest of disc locks would have stopped this
Yes I would imagine that as it is a shop and sells disc locks etc that they might now be taking some out of stock to secure the bikes, #gate-horse-bolted!
A careless moment that I doubt will be repeated but the feckers still need to have their fingers chopped off!
These gangs amaze me, " Hay lets go seal stuff?" " Yeah, OK '. The way they throw it in the van, scratching the belly and breaking the mirrors, no wonder they cant work ,they dont give a f3ck. They want it enough to seal it ,but not enough to care about it. How often do we think about this when we buy cheap bits on eBay? I should not have to lock my stuff ,it is my stuff. In Japan people never take the keys from their scooters they park them go to work and when they return the scooter is there where they left it. Simples.
In general thieves are lazy, if your bike has some form of lock and the one next to it doesn't then they will go for the easier option, best idea is to lock your bike to something, as even with a disc lock on a couple of strong fellas will still be able to lift you bike into a van.
