Attempted theft

[gopher]

Thought I'd share this -

Two fellas were caught in the act of trying to steal my '00 650 yesterday on Arbour Hill in Dublin 7 outside my office. One with a screwdriver and one with a hammer. Frightening thing though..they were chased off TWICE by the guy in the coffee shop next door! Persistent fellas. Apparently they fled in a blue nissan. They didn't get the bike but have destroyed the ignition barrel so I'm awaiting a new one to arrive.

BARSTARDS !
As you said it's the persistance of them that I find amazing, bold as brass !

I must admit to being very unchristian with regard to people like these.

Bring back flogging ???
Seriously !

As Daithi says BASTARDS !!!
Did you have any other locks on it at the time ???

I've worked up here for six weeks now and for the first time forgot to put on the disc lock, doh

Anyway she went off on the back of a truck this morning to be fixed.

By the way Joe, sorry to see your lady on the back of a truck! Is she okay? Does she have a name, I never asked you before..

i think you are asking for this kind of attention with only a disk lock.

Hate to say it, but the chances are that they will be back again.

I read an XT forum now and again, and the bloke seemingly in charge had his XT supermoto stolen whilst having two big chains on it, inside a locked metal security shed, and behind a set of locked gates... what on earth do you have to do to keep your own stuff safe?

Dogs can be knocked out, by burying drugs in sausages.

This is the only thing that works...
A reputation for violence

No bother to you Joe, you being a wee McCooey from Belfast n'all.

Not me mate..Id be more into love n laughter
But it is a sad fact that these scumbags fear very few...

A few weeks ago two of these fella's broke into a station
yard in Dublin to try and recover a moto that was taken
off them or one of their friends by the cops...
(them fail after a cop spotted them...but got away)
Now if they have the neck to break into a cop shop
to get a moto...what would stop them

A good few years back, my eldest brother (R.I.P) did tell me about a time when he heard something odd in the back yard below the flat he was living in, so he climbed out onto the flat roof for a better view, to see a couple of youngsters trying to pinch one of the motorbikes from the yard, he saw them off with a bloody great sword

On the plus side nobody ever tried it again... so perhaps his reputation spread?

.22 rifle ought to do the trick
