Thumbs down Bike shop in Kent (where I work) burgled.

Thought id throw this out there.

The bike shop that i work at on Saturdays has been burgeled, this happened last Saturday during the night and i only found out about it today, they took:-

Bottles of engine oil / fork oil / collant / brake fluid
All of the tyres
Tyre removal machine
All batteries (many Honda Branded)
All spark plugs (mainly Honda branded NGK's)
Some oil filters (Honda branded)
The van (found in a sorry state)
A snap on limited edition HM plant tool box (with tools)
Special tools
A CRF50
A CRF70
All the bike keys, New, Used, Customers

Unfortuantly it seems they knew what they were doing and where things were located

If you hear of anything of the above going cheap / seeming suspicious in Kent, please let me know. just hope the police can get who done it.

Thanks

That is sh*tty. I keep my ears open in case any of it is offered to me (you'd be amazed how often shops get called offering 2nd hand odds and sods).

I'd say your looking for someone who owns a Honda, but I'm no detective!
On a serious note if I hear of anything will be strait in touch.

All of the tyres and the tyre machine? That's what I call keen, either they have several bikes and need lots of different sizes or they're planning on setting up a stall somewhere, either way worth looking out for. You don't know if they got any D209's in a 160 rear do you...?

Yes, the toolbox was v nice, i reckon that the mech who it belonged too is pretty gutted tbh £2000, £2500 maybe more when it was new!

I hope so too the main thing is the all the keys really, specially the cutomers

Oh dear. Lots of lock sets there then. Looks like you saturdays are going to be busy swapping lock sets out!

Sounds a bit organised to be honest and a Snap-On chest with tools, ooooh, that'll be about £6k then. Never nick another mans tools...i hope the takers get horrible sexual desises for their troubles and caught and banged up in a cell with Mr Big.

On the up side, I am starting a new tyre fitting service. I have a small selectio....oh hang on, erm

Bugger...is that the shop in swanley moving into the 21st century moto-wise?

I hope the old bill find the feckers soon enough...mind you, there has been a lot of "activity" with the travelling communities 'round here recently.
