Thieving Douchebag

[xXBADGERXx]

At the weekend I stayed at the Badgeresses due to the pair of us going out to celebrate my birthday . This was on Friday night . We were awoken rather early at around 4:30 in the morning as some toerag had set fire to 5 bins in the street , and apparently , a car as well .

The drama was soon over and after recovering for the best part of the day I rode home in the evening and noticed that there was Brake Fluid on the side of my fairing . It had dribbled out of the reservoir , I noticed a score mark around the black cap and the retaining tab was bent upwards . So some toerag has had a go at the bike as well . I took the cap off and noticed that the Large Washer and the Big Black Diaphragm has been removed out of the reservoir ..... what gives with that ? I`ve contacted the Police and they are gonna come and dust the bike down for prints in case the Arsonist has tampered with my bike . If they do get prints I would Dearly Love to find out who it is because they will lose those fingers to my Stanley "Jet-Cut" Woodsaw .

Lowlives.
Sounds more like malicious vandalism than thievery.

So here is my thoughts on that , why go to the trouble of unscrewing it all , taking the parts out then putting the top back on ? If you wanted to make a mess of things you could just bash that thing right off the bars , not exactky bomb proof is the old placky reservoir :confused: .

And to my mind , and this dusturbs me even more , is it a fellow biker that has done that to steal parts off my bike , they nicked my Scottoiler almost a year ago as well and that really riles me knowing it`s a bike savvy person .

Who the hell would steal that???

[xXBADGERXx]

exactly and Why ????? of all the pimp-a$$ bits I have on my bike they go for that .

[Owenski]

Sounds to me like its a "this will be a right laugh" moment from some ****ed up pre-pubes. They know brake fluid is paint stripper etc, or even worse they thought that taking some of your brake fluid might cause an accident.
What do you recon the chances of pushing attempted murder with the officers involved? Get them a serious conviction rather than a slap on the wrist. If they've tinkered before whats not to say they wont do it again, but next time maybe its a pin ***** in the brake hose.

[xXBADGERXx]

Told the Police that if I was at speed and needed to apply the brakes in an emergency , they would probably be looking at a fatality of sorts , he took it very seriously and mentioned some charge they could be got for .

[Owenski]

too bloody right!
Pretty sure that someone stole me rear spindle nut or at least loosened it to make my day more interesting when it fell off. Only thing is, is with my recent mechanical f'ups i've got my doubts as well lol.

Hope they can lift the prints, but then you have to count on priors. Might be worth staking out the crime scene yourself lol. (yes im watchin CSI) ;)

I meant *really* malicious. I'd have a good check of the fluid and the system, not just replace the missing bits. Putting the top back on and you not noticing cpuld have been much worse.

Bought new fluid today mate , gonna whip the old lot out and put a splash of the new stuff in .

[pmapp]

maybe worth checking yer oil filler too.

[xXBADGERXx]

Twas pretty tight mate , even though I do it up finger tight it always seems to dig in a bit , despite being made of plastic and having an O ring on it , it grips like Jack Tweedy to the Jade Goody empire . I often have to put an open ended spanner over it to give it a crack open .

[PsychoCannon]

Bloody hell, go at them for attempted murder mate, can you get attempted manslaughter?

Goodluck with the prints, I Just hope the police up your way aren't as work shy as the lot down here.
When someone tried to nick my bike and they got perfect prints (both entire hands where they tried to lift either side of the tank), I know they matched the prints as they asked the next day if I could attend an Identity parade to identify the theif.

When I said I didn't see them (they drove off when the alarm woke me up and the house lights went on and they couldn't get it loaded onto whatever they were using fast enough), they dropped the case as "the finger prints could of gotten there innocently so without eye witnesses they couldn't proceed due to lack of evidence....)
Naffs me right off! Private property, peftect prints in heavy rain, bike not covered and confirmed by the SOCO as "a few hours old at the most" under the petrol tank in a "pushing up" position...and sorry, if you don't see it happen it didn't happen..they may have just taken a wrong turn down your drive way while walking home and decided to cup your fuel tank moments before a theft attempt....

Likewise when the house over the road was robbed, we knew they were on holiday when their alarm went off, front room light is on, phone the police, can you identify the people in the house and are you sure it's not the home owners?
No I can't see through walls and I know the home owners are on holiday and not in the habbit of leaving their alarm going for 20 minutes at 2am.
Sorry if you can't see an intruder we can't send anyone out....
3 days later the neighbours get home to find themselves cleaned out.

Why didn't you simply say "Oh, hang on... I can see them and one of them looks like he has a gun"

That would have got them out pretty sharpish.

well the final outcome of this is that I get a phone call Yesterday from NW police . They ask if they can inspect the bike . In my roundabout way I said that it had been 2 weeks since the incident , it had been repaired by myself , the bike had been cleaned and that you are as much use as a chocolate fireguard and that you were more concerned about the mass rideout that MCN had organised than an Arsonist who may have left his prints on my bike . There was much blustering and excuse making to which point I pointed out exactly where they lied in the conversation and that they had missed their chance to do some actual Police work and catch a toerag . I bid them goodbye and put the phone down .

[metalangel]

they will lose those fingers to my Stanley "Jet-Cut" Woodsaw .

A slow painful fate, then. I've got one of those saws purely for sawing the bottom off xmas trees and through Xbox accessory packaging, and it takes an age to do either (or maybe I'm a weakling)

[xXBADGERXx]

That`s the idea , don`t want a good blade do I ? otherwise I can`t relish the screams for as long ;)
