Tracker court case result

Just had this today, in the end we agreed a settlement prior to the case (as in, in the waiting room waiting to get the case heard!) - not as much money as I was claiming (the limit of small claims cases), but a reasonable amount, and a free (replacement) tracker.

More info on why it was going to court here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=96297

I'm not going to openly name the tracker company now, if you want to know who it was feel free to PM and ask (and I'll probably give the name, but it's up to me ). I think given we've come to a settlement I'm happy with, it's not right to name them openly, even though there was nothing to say I couldn't.

Also they have changed the part of the system that was broken & whilst I was the only one affected (as far as I know) I appreciate the fact that they have made an effort to fix it given there were many other bikers out there who could have been put in my situation.

Anyway just wanted to say after 6 months of this dragging on (and I'm aware this is short for a court case!) I'm glad it's all done and dusted.

Oh well thats a reasonable outcome, nice of you to be good about it. I did think it was incredibly frustrating when it all happened initially, but I thought it was as much lame police for not being able to search through a few gardens that the tracker companies fault.

Congrats on the result.

Yep agreed, the fact the police couldn't just ask to see in a few sheds to see which one it was did frustrate me too...I think it was because the owners could say no at that time, and getting a warrant would prove difficult as you couldn't just get a warrant for all the sheds, it would have to be a specific one. A pity but as you say, sorted out now

Good stuff

I remember the original thread, but did they ever track down the initial problem? (no pun intended )

Thanks guys. gettin2dizzy - you mean, what was the original problem with the system (why it stopped working)? Yeah they know what that was, they have changed the system they used (was a third party system, still is, but a different third party) and I am assuming they took into account what happened (or why change!).

very good news!! so are u getting another bike now?
