Wake up and smell the coffee.........
Card theft/fraud has been rife for years.....you can get the bits to do it quite legitimately from Maplins or similar, then you can programme any magnetic strip card with whatever info you want.
Cards were designed with security in mind....you can bet that there's no encryption on the chips that 'identify' clocks to the ECU on a bike , so it will be child's play for the scumbags to change the info or create a workaround. (or maybe they're relying on the fact that the majority of people don't know that the clocks are linked to the ECU and by the time they realise, the money has already been taken)
Scumbags are always one or two steps ahead of Plod, and half a mile ahead of the manufacturers
Where did it happen?
You'll be next
My butler keeps watch over the bike when I leave it parked anywhere.
Isn't a Butler who looks after vehicles called a Chauffeur?
Have to agree with Matty BMW know bikes are parked up outside they should make things that can't be stollen by a 5 year old. They should take some responsibility!
You must know some tall 5 year olds
They're agile at that age

I have had a look at mine and I can see how you can pop the circlips without needing to unscrew anything. I think a well placed blob of black araldite could make it a lot harder to nick them.
Don't be so silly
Stollen is good.
Stolen is less good.
Still, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Nice one, yes Stollen is good!
Fahhhhhkkk It's just happened to me.......!!!!
That's shit news....
I suppose up the market for them is people that gave had them nicked like the bike trade in Amsterdam. Get your bike nicked buy one of a druggy

I feel so cross because apart from any thing, it's sort of my bread and butter at work!! It's a no brainer - cover yer bike up, don't put it on offer - like the advice to you wreford about a shitty old tarp.
It was one night!! How many nights a year do I leave a bike on the streets of London on average?? Two at the most ??
Sheesh .... I'm so cross .....
