Organised Bike Theft - bike stolen.

[ethariel]

Be on guard, lost mine to a big white van and 6 'big geezers' around 2am today, bout 4 to 6 seconds to lift, in van and away.......

SE9 area.

[svrich]

Gutted. Did you see it happen or were there witnesses?

[yorkie_chris]

Sorry to hear that :(

[Stu]

Good luck with the insurance col :(




Now you can try again and get that Speed triple you know you should have got :twisted:

[injury_ian]

fixed for you

[Stu]

Have you met Col? He's a big bloke in need of a proper man's bike ;)

[mikerj]

These scum should have their fingers fed through the chain and sprockets :(

[ethariel]

i'm really sad I didnt catch them in the act, then again it's kust as well, i'd be looking at life by now (and still will if i ever catch them).

Just gutted beyond belief.

[Speedy]

Scum.

They should be hanged.

TBH mate, im a fairly big bloke but if i seen 6 big blokes nicking my bike i dont think id intervene, i aint stupid, dont matter how talented or how big your balls are you aint come off very well in that situation, so let them take it, it aint worth dying over IMO.

Get the rozzas there asap, if you can drag them away from the donut / coffee shop ;)

JOKE btw, no cops get the hump :)

[Mr Speirs]

Yeah I'd agree with Specialone. If I saw them I wouldn't intervene.
Chances are you would go out all guns blazing and be met with:
'**** off...we know where you and your family live'

[yorkie_chris]

You should just be allowed to shoot them.

[Specialone]

You should just be allowed to shoot them.
Agreed, but only to wound so you can torture them as well to act as a deterrent to other potential scum bags.

[yorkie_chris]

TBH if a load of bodies and a van on your doorstep with lots of bits missing from a sustained bout of high velocity asset retaining isn't enough of a deterrent you want to be thinking about moving to a better area!!

[Specialone]

True :)

[andrewsmith]

screw the torture, depleated uranium

and auto senties

[ethariel]

Hm, well speed tripple i may like the look of yet, but how long till the fu****s come back and nick that?

[sunshine]

2 weeks after you buy it? maybe invest in a good lock?

[Jackie_Black]

Unfortunately if they want it they'll get it. Can you put some decent CCTV up so you can hopefully get the van reg or even a snapshot of one of them? Cameras are a lot cheaper than they used to be. Or chain it to something, but this just slows people down. I take it you can't have a metal shed or anything to hide future bikes in?

[krhall]

too close for comfort for me!

[Speedy]

Not just scare them with shots over their heads, actually aimed at their heads.

It would certainly stop them from doing it again.

Trouble is, even if they got caught, (I'm sure the Police on here might agree), the justice system in this country would only allow them a slapped wrist, with maybe some "community payback" bullsh!t.
Even after the police' hard work at catching them!!

No deterrant.

[Jackie_Black]

It's unfortunately the only deterrent we have. Anything else just results in you getting sent down. Although you could always make a mad max style under petrol tank explosive device.

excellent!!!!

[Jackie_Black]

In fact it's a great idea for a bike alarm. The bike rings your mobile phone when someone has nicked it. Then you get options.

Press
1. To activate tracker
2. To blow bike to bits

[jacksuzukisv650]

is there a make of bike ??? to keep an eye out on ebay ??

Hmmmm, I may put my mad scientists hat on and try and make an exploding petrol tank......just for laughs!!

On my alarm fob, I can activate the hazards by remote, instead, it could be used to energise an ignition coil connected to a spark-plug that sits inside the petrol-tank........

ROFL:D

Lol i was thinking the exact same thing, but it wouldnt work for me, i never normally have much fuel left!

[Jackie_Black]

A portable thermite bomb is what you want. You know the bike aint coming back so trigger it just under the petrol tank. It'll burn through the engine block, frame and possibly the transit its hiding in. Making most of the bits completely pointless for flea bay. Silent too.

[timwilky]

Having seen a bike thief have his hands held over the edge of the pavement whilst a lump hammer was applied to his fingers I have to say that it is a very effective way of stopping bike crime. That was nearly 30 years ago and nobody saw who did it despite there being at least 30 people at the thief's house. Coppers were glad that somebody had ended a run of thefts and didn't bother with silly questions.

Unfortunately now you are expected to allow them to take you property.

Again personal experience, years ago I stopped on the way back from christmas shopping in Manchester to visit my kids old babysitter in an OAP complex. whilst there my window was smashed and a bunch of yobs nicked my kids christmas presents. I gave chase. As the disappeared into a Salford estate I came round the corner to find the 4 had become about 20 and wielding baseball bats and very large spanners etc. Discretion the better part of valour, I did a quick right turn to make it look as if I was not chasing nor running away, next junction off the estate as quick as possible to find the police arriving at my car.

The say they know who did it, cannot prove anything and most of the blame is the OAP complex as they wont lock the gates to stop people walking through as the residents complain if they have to go the long way round. and bollocked me for leaving pressies in the back of an estate car with no cover.

Once you have a signal, its very easy to get that alarm to power anything.
I could wire up a plc i have lying around which would give us 8 outputs to really feck with them lol

[ethariel]

Black 1250GT (Bandit), just the top box on it.

As an aside, landlord has agreed to CCTV and at last agreed to me sticking in a ground anchor too.

Regrettably (have finished checking this out) installing a Mk19 thunderflash wired to a remote detenator (placecd under the seat) (http://www.pyromad.co.uk/index.php?cPath=25) would actually be classed as at least GBH if not attempted murder if installed let alone detonated if some scrote is stealing the bike, pity that criminals have more eights than citizens do eh?

Now i got to survive at work without giving the Home Sec a mouthfull from now on!

Maybe just an actuator that pumps up the revs then cuts the clutch & brake lines?

[Jackie_Black]

If you did booby trap your own vehicle though is a criminal likely to own up to being damaged by it?

Sorry, I've had a beer.....plc???

The way I look at it is, basically, Feck them! They deserve getting hurt for being thieving basts.

Progammable logic control.
Basically a fancy timer ;)

[Jackie_Black]

Something harmless then, a smoke grenade. 90 seconds of acrid van filling smoke, on a time delay. Probably make a lot of money making those. :-dd

NO!! Has to at least maim...permanently.

Ethariel, I hope you get your bike back though mate, undamaged.

Or does a scoobs.
R1 on full throttle as it was stuck on.
That'll be easy to do, they will ride it and then cant fecking stop, brilliant.

Edit, only have it come on when revs over 6k say so its when they open it up.

Seriously, red dye jobbie, thats what securicor peeps have, remote dye in the boxes, they go off 3 mins after being snatched.

Or, concentrated Hydrochloric Acid??

Yep, that would cause redeye alright!

[Jackie_Black]

Aye that would be a good idea too, red dye. I'm not one for hurting anybody as what goes around etc.

I've tried to make my bike as much of a pain in the **** to steal as I can though. Steel security shed, anchored in back garden, secure markings etc. But this can't always be done and these *******s just go round looking for opportunities to steal.

They nick a bike?

Claymore under the seat... what goes around comes a...BOOM. Karma is satisfied :)

[Sid Squid]

Oh no Colin, I'm sorry to hear that, and of course I too hope the thieving *******s ******** fall off and roll down a drain.

Put a post in the Soho section with all the details in it and I'll sticky it - you never know.

[Jackie_Black]

I knew YC would have a very simple method for dealing with the problem, awesome. I hope it works out and you don't get too shafted by the insurers or you get it back in better nick than you left it because they cleaned it just before they were hit by an unmanned runaway tank.

[metalmonkey]

Colin sorry to hear about this, utter c****

It would nice for scum to get what they deserve...

[timwilky]

35 years ago, my little brothers shed would be regularly broken into. Metal grills on the windows would be ripped off, so ingenious little beggar wires it up to the mains.

Who is the first to complain. Local copper. Seems he had been the one breaking in to see what Paul had got. There was a family agreement that we would both do things legally after that. He with a search warrant, we would remove an element of theft prevention. Still the particular copper got kicked out a few years later for other thefts whilst on duty.

So my advise your next bike if you have to park on the street. anchor it round a street light and pinch an electrickery supply from said street lamp.

[danf1234]

Really sorry to hear about the bike. The worthless pieces of Sh!t that do this deserve to be hurt. Sorry, but Ido wish them harm. I work hard for everything I have got, and for someone just to come along and take it really makes my p1ss boil.

[arenalife]

Deffo go for big lock over CCTV, CCTV is pointless in the extreme. Most cams, including professional ones, are too blurry. When you look at it the morning you'll just see some unidentifiable yobs nicking your bike, you'll be all excited till you realise it deosn't get you your stuff back. It's best in well lit shops and workplaces, where they usually have the culprit to hand or it's staff.

Alarmed cover / Almax lock and anchor / Alarm, not cheap but neither is insurance excess (that's before the new premium hike!).

[Peachey]

Eventually.... What goes around comes around.

I was hope they get what’s coming to them.

The thing with organised gits is they will go a way to steal, they come as far as Birmingham to steal to order from Worcester/Cheltenham. If you have it the chavs will come.

I’ll keep an eye out around here. Any more description on the bike/Van/6 burly wan**rs? What’s the news on the insurance?

[pete m]

I feel for you , been there done that, was discussing all security possibles yesterday as theyve taken bits off my ZX6 in SE14, and im on the main road...was thinking security light , i know it sounds lame but waht the person said about CCTV sounds v true ...otherwise the shed idea was discussed....

there arent many bikes round here for a reason, but i know this doesnt make you feel any better :(

[monkey]

Sorry to read this Colin. Who saw them nicking it and didn't call the rozzers?

I've got a super hardcore ground anchor for sale if you're interested:
