I doubt they started the bike, there were large tyre marks by my garage. Probably just bunged into a van.

Wow thats a proper jobby, doesnt sound like the local chavs!
3 heavy duty chains/locks is a proper hard task.
The thing that would bother me is not loosing the bike; they must have been keeping an eye on you and your bike a fair few times!!
Sorry to hear about it, glad you've had no insurance probs.
Have you got a replacement yet?

I wonder what the odds of them actually getting it to you this week are.

Have you found a new bike or waiting for the check to come through then on the hunt?

I'm going to say slim at best. Although 'luckily' I had another SV, which i've since sold. Used that as a deposit :p

And i'm moving house so hopefully will all be a bit more secure.

Discs locks can be pointless.. All you have to do is un bolt brakes and unscrew disc and there you have it.. Bike rolling, I think motrax do a small simple garage alarm for about 20 quid or there abouts.. Alarms are the only majour deterent or go a next level and get a bike safe! With a garage alarm and make it like fort Knox.
