Just thought i would say how ****ed of i get with some people!!!!
my mate went to the pub tonight with some friends for a drink, on his way he was being followed quite close by a car, he kept it close incase it was the plod, it followed him all the way to the pub, about 10miles into the forest and then when he parked up one guy got out and asked how much his bike was worth (He's got a K4 GSXR) he simply replied not much 2k or something like that now, so he locked it all up and went in, next thing he knew two guys walked in and then nicked his helmet!!!! what ****ing D**k heads, honestly why would you do it!!!! We assumed that it was that they assumed that if he had no lid he would have to leave his bike alone in the quiet car park in the ass end of know ware so they could come back and have it in the back of there van!!!
so basically keep and eye out for ********s in bayed up BMW 318is, especially if you live down here on the south coast!!!!

Bleeding heck , that is strange if I'm reading that correctly.

Are you saying they just walked in, grabbed it and walked/ran out? What was the reaction of your mate and those he was with in the pub

. No one challenged them?

Cheers

I've seen this before, it is exactly what you think - they are hoping that he'll leave the bike planning to return tomorrow, but when he gets back it won't be there.

Variations on this are immobilising the bike in some way, such as deliberately snapping the clutch lever, pulling out the main fuse, taking a valve core out etc etc.

It's not at all unknown.

He must have had a good description if they came up and asked him how much his bike was worth.That's a bit brazen.Moral of the story---If you have a phonecam take a pic of them and their car.
