that's a bummer m8. it's not nice getting your pride and joy nicked.

[sv_rory]

Hope they get what's coming to them! probably a stolen van too

[Wildkid]

I'm gutted for you mate I hope you catch those thieving f****

[sv_rory]

did the cctv footage show them loading the bike into the van or the faces of the people doing it?

[Galviniser]

They parked next to it so you could see the side of the van, but they opened the side door where we couldn't see, I'll get some more CCTV tomorrow at work, but you could never see it being lifted in

have you spoken to the police now then? hope you can get enough evidence to convict

[Nobbylad]

I used to live in Middleton... well, the posh bit, Alkrington garden village. However we ended up moving back to Liverpool because we were sick of being burgled, the shed being broken into and general scumbaggery with people stealing plant pots from outside etc.

And to think Scousers get a bad rep :rolleyes:

welcome to the uk buddy!

[Nobbylad]

welcome to the uk buddy!

Oh... and the worst bit? They (the 'bizzies') picked up some lads who'd just stolen a car and when they searched one of their houses, they found my car keys and documents that were in my car when they stole it after breaking into my house. However they couldn't prove anything as the lad just said he'd found them on a field. :o

[dizzyblonde]

Wow, and you only just got the little Zzr too!

One of the reasons why my oh started using the car more for work instead of his zzr14. Middleton is absolutely dreadful, until they moved premises to somewhere else, I hated him taking the bike.

[Galviniser]

I know, so so so so gutted! And so angry! I spent over £2000 on that bike too

That's shizzle mate, good luck with getting it back, at least you've got the reg and cctv footage for what its worth.

Looks like they targeted your bike, its not random.

My guess is Eastern europeans

[ChrisCurvyS]

Gutted for you mate - take it you didn't have a chain or an alarm?

I leave mine unchained at work as it's a barrier-entry car park but that's obviously no deterrent if they're on cloned plates. Might start locking it up more often - will keep an eye out for that Transit.

[Galviniser]

I had a chain round it, you know what jippos are like, have endless stolen tools in that van

Really hope this gets returned.
Keep us posted Galviniser

"My guess is Eastern Europeans" Not only racist and xenophobic, but plainly sad. Read some statistics about committing crimes per capita/nation and then entertain us with your bulls**t. And yes, I am a "eastern europen" : slovakian. Living in UK normal life, paying taxes etc etc like rest of you, oh wait...

[spyrius]

BTW, sorry for your loss Galvanizer. There is still a slim chance cops will find your bike... good luck mate

[Owenski]

In the light of day too, sickening!
While you're working, you know doing an actual job to buy the things you want/like, they feel they can just come and take it from you like that. Where do these people get this complete lack of respect from.

Really sorry Chris, keep the forum upto date with progress - such a nice SV as well.

[keith_d]

I just watched the video. They're looking pretty professional with the bike stolen in a couple of minutes. So I wouldn't be surprised if they used a stolen van (or dodgy plates).

[dizzyblonde]

Thats absolutely appauling, surely the police can get a zoom in on the face of the man in black? Had to view it on my phone, so probably can't see things so clear :(

[Paul the 6th]

shared on facebook dude. good luck.

[dizzyblonde]

Aye shared too, but I copied the link in, and its been deleted from the tube of you.

Either way......plenty spreading the word.

[Galviniser]

Knocks me sick every time I watch it, I can't watch it anymore, It still works for me on youtube :/ I think the bike has most probably gone tho, just look out for things on eBay for us please, I am on it like a hawk, AND LOOK OUT FOR MY SEAT I had it custom made so there can be only one! And the red levers, I drilled a hole in the clutch side for the clutch switch and put an aluminium block in sprayed black,so look out for that, I'll keep you all updated, thank you all, oh and by the way, the uk police is ****, they still haven't been round, it's been a bloody day too!

[Galviniser]

All this support is much appreciated people, thank you! I hope this teaches us all a lesson, especially me, if these jippos want something, they will get it and it looks like they have planned this, so lock your bikes to something! It won't stop them for sure but It will buy you time, in their vans they carry all sorts of tools to get through chains and locks

[Bluepete]

Don't bother mate. You did well getting a visit this week. There's no cops left out there to go to jobs like this.

If you gave the van reg. when you reported it, then it'll be on my ANPR hotlist the same day, so we'll go after it if it's seen. Same goes for the bike reg.

Apart from that, what's to do? The tech to enhance the footage exists only in Hollywood. Again, there's no bodies left to do it even if there was the tech!

I'm on nights so I'll keep my eye out. I've chased a members stolen SV before and recovered it, so you never know...

Sorry to be negative, but that's what's left of the Cops now.

Yes too true BP, your force is one of the ones cutting loads of staff, front line and backroom staff if I remember correctly.

Plus you're all doubling up as social workers, drug councilors and home helpers if '999 whats your emergency' is the same in every town, which it probably is :confused:

[Galviniser]

Police update: They have apologised for now being in touch Nd not visiting, they say they may come round after 5 tomorrow, other than that the bike is marked as stolen (although probably in pieces in a foreign country) so yeah, not overly helpful but hey....

Its terrible service without a doubt. However, this is unfortunately what the government are reducing the force to. Its not right for victims of crime though, and if I was on the end of it, i'd be furious. I've tweeted it on Twitter to spread the message.

[Lozzo]

Speaking as someone who ran a motorcycle shop less than half a mile from one of the country's largest concentrations of travellers, I'd very much doubt the people who stole this bike are "Jippos".

In a year of being there I had two groups of traveller lads walk into the shop, and neither of them had the first clue about bikes. Travellers just aren't interested in motorcycles, full stop.

Now the Gypsy community has had a bad rep in the past and has its faults as far as thieves are concerned, but I'd be very surprised if these are gypsies or any other travellers. A lot of the time they steal stuff they can weigh in for scrap and the hard truth is a bike doesn't give them enough income to make it worthwhile. A car makes them a damn sight more money and is just as easy to take.

White Transit vans are owned by all manner of dodgy b'stards because they blend in everywhere you go. You find them on posh estates, rough sh1thole areas, industrial estates and just about everywhere you care to mention. Another factor is, you can clone any number of them very easily with a few sets of number plates and give your vehicle the choice a few different identities in a matter of a couple of minutes.

[appollo1]

Sorry to read about your bike.

Why was the barrier to the car park in your works yard not down? That may have stopped the van getting into the car park in the first place?

What a kick in the teeth. </derail>

Galvaniser - really sorry to hear about this mate, have you spoken to your insurance at all?

I have spoken to my insurance, they said they will be in touch. I said I dont want to claim just yet in case it turned up, but I'm coming to terms that I'll never see it again, so I'm gonna have to claim

[f1rst ben]

its one of the worst feelings ever having a bike nicked. I had my gsxr k7 stolen 2 months back in the same way parked in the work car park and it was lifted into the back of a van and gone. no one saw anything and I was the first to realise it had gone as i arrived back at work. Truly gutting.

Its shocking to see just how many bikes are going missing out there on the forums and through friends.

That'd be a great idea if you could refine it. Would sale like hotcakes.

[punkyp]

I thought about writing an app that you can set times that your bike shouldn't move e.g. 9-5, and if it does send a notification and location, just not got the time.

Would be difficult to refine as far as making sure the app knows when credit in the PAYG sim is running low etc.

[Galviniser]

That's what my tracker did, when the bike was turned off and moved it sent a message to me of its location and if you. Rang it it sent you a message of its location. It also sent a message when credit was low too, I'll find it and find what it's called if you like
