Stolen GS1150 !

[Deleted account 181015003]

So if everybody knows where they are, and spots them regularly, it begs the question....wheres the plod?

Eating donuts arresting this sort of scum is a hassle they resist they dont pay their fines so there is no financial gain for the system so it seems its not a priority and ignored until the press get wind and public demand action.

A few years ago around here a high ranking police commander had his car stolen within 10 mins half the force were looking for it including helicopter the car was recovered and an arrest was made within a hour so they can do something when the senior officer decide to put the resorces on the job

Feel your pain man.

To the knackers who steal & destroy them, bikes are just metal fun devices, regardless of whether for us the bike is transport to work, a passionate obsession, a means to travel on holiday...

Keep your spirits up - you'll get a new bike and put this behind you soon enough.

Yup they are like this until you exceed the speed limit by 1 mph, then they would be all over you like a cheap suit. !!

They are the first to tell you they know who it is and where they live etc ! But cant touch the little darlings ? Then wonder why people take the law into there own hands .

Simple matter...intelligence, target, catch them; all it needs is some initiative, and some ground work.

The trouble is that allotting the officers/resources required will need to through umpteen consultations, steering groups, etc etc, and it sounds as if no-one can be arsed.

Ah, but watch The System kick into gear once that happens...

There has apparently been some success where the Police have used decoy bikes in a sting operation.
Whether these will even get to court is another matter............

Heart breaking to see someone pride and joy lying in ash. It's odd the handlebars are loose on the ground.

They are no ones little darlings and unless you are prepared to get very, very nasty, you won`t take the law into your own hands either.

This crowd are utter hardcore scum.

Write it off and to a bad experience and move on, get another bike, and keep away from that part of town / lock the shit out of it.

Most of them will be dead before 30 so take comfort in that.

That sucks. I tour a lot in Scotland and have never even heard of that happening.

If you look closer the top yoke has melted .. only a small piece of it remains attached to the fork leg ..
