Clocks stolen

[Deleted account 181015003]

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

Thats what I am saying someone buys these clocks and takes them to a dealer and they read the codes find the ID of the original bike if its one that had its clocks nicked bingo the seller is caught word gets round they they can be traced back no more clocks get nicked

The scum ho are nicking these will want a quick buck and wont be bothered about the coding it an easy way to make a few hundred quid and the word is getting round that its easy pickings

I am surprised that the screens havent been targeted as well, remove 2 screws and you have removed the screen at 180 quid and the screen brackets at 86 quid !,then you can also nick the clocks faster.

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 ..... (no really .... !)

Poor luck fella

Send Micky down - he'll sniff out the culprits

Micky's probably only good for sniffing out beer and Donuts these days ...

What are BMW on? They should be paying for all replacement clocks just out of stupidity of design.

I'll have a pint of whatever you are drinking

Could always do nothing and let the problem grow it seems to be doing just that

We got burgled at work a few years ago sure enough some of the stuff ended up listed on ebay we won it contacted the local plod they meet the seller picked him up and raided his house and solved about a dozen commercial burglaries so thinks can be done if a bit of effort is put in.

But then again there not my clocks so why bother

that's just to lull them into a false sense of security.................

(thinking that they will get too far away before it breaks down...)
