Yes. It happened.
Got home from work and there was an empty space where I park my bike outside my house.
Worked out it was stolen between 18:30-19:30, and my flatmates were in at the time, just 5 meters away!
Needless to say i'm gutted.
Owned it from new for 4 1/2 years

reg is W428 RVT in the unlikely event on it being spotted

)

Scumbags. Glad I got mine into a garage for the winter, althought that's no guaruntee.

Killing for bike thieves, 1st offence. It's the way forward. I'll write a strongly worded email to Mr Blunkett for you first thing tomorrow.

Gutted for you mate. I remember the feeling well. Get around every single neighbour and ask if they saw anything. My Mum did this when I had a GS550 stolen in 1984. She found one girl down the street who had seen a van close by at the time. She even remembered the trade name on the side. Gave the info to the coppers but heard nothing. I chased them up after two weeks to see if they had heard anything and they said they had been too busy to follow it up!!!! They rung me back that night to say they had tracked down the van and found the bike but totally stripped. I should have sued the CID for my excess.
