What is up with all the bikes getting jacked?

[HiImBrian]

Wow that seems like a stupid bike to steal as it's so custom! I think I might start locking my bike up after reading about all of these stolen bikes.
Good luck!

[Kevin]

Thanks guys, I have thousands of hours of work, and my heart & soul into this bike. What is wrong with people?! Please share this post if you would.

Yeah, I'm not sure what someone will do with it. Only one like it in the world. Not like they can sell it or ride it, even with a coat of paint. I can only imagine it'll be stripped down for parts which disgusts me greatly! :cry:

[Matty]

Bummer.

Where was it stolen from (garage, parking lot, etc)?

it was stolen overnight from a apartment parking lot, right in front of teh building. 2575 S Syracuse Way

[madvlad]

It is called lazy people that choose to stay in welfare and make a living off of honest and hard working people... the last gang banger homie that tried to jack me went with a concussion and in the back of a police vehicle ... anyways, sorry to hear man but hope you recover this beauty soon.

It's called summer around a large city.

[Kevin]

Allright everyone, first of all, thanks for all the kind words!

You guys mentioned "what's up with this sudden rash of motorcycle thefts" and rforsythe you mentioned that this is in your neighborhood - Well I have some potential good news...

I got a tip today from somebody who saw my craigslist ad, who had thier custom bike stolen a few days ago from this same general area. They found the bike locked up and parked under an apartment complex carport within a few miles of where it was stolen from. Long story short, local police came she got her bike back, later detective office called and was upset that they recovered the bike because they are investigating a motorcycle crime ring. They believe the crime ring is stealing bikes, parking them somewhere for a day to make sure the bike doesn't have Lo-Jack installed, and then if the owner/police does not come to recover the bike, they haul the bike to Mexico or somewhere else. The sheriff's office wanted to leave the bike where it was and set up a sting to catch these people. SO - with this news, there is a good chance it's still in the area and I have about 24 hours to find and recover the bike, and hopefully catch whoever is doing this!!! This other bike was recovered from the Yosemite/Nassau area - So, if you are in the area please keep an eye open inside parking lots and apartment carports and call me if you see anything at 720-771-5229, or call the detective listed above!

Thank you all!

For those of you with lojack installed, wait around the corner with a big fucking gun :lol:

[tstevens]

This is ridiculous, another stolen post in a day. How loud is your exhaust, I don't know how far away from the bike you were but could you hear it or did they haul it off or neutral it off?. Getting rowdy out there, effing thieves.

[Kevin]

For those of you with lojack installed, wait around the corner with a big fucking gun :lol:

LMAO!!! YES!!!

I'm assuming they neutralled it or carried it away. It's quite loud.

[Kevin]

FOUND today by Broomfield police! More details coming once I know them,and see the bike!!!!

[TransNone13]

Awesome dude, at least a lot of people are finding their bikes!

[TransNone13]

Welcome to the party Ghost lol.

[Ghost]

Grats on getting it back!

[Ghost]

Welcome to the party Ghost lol.

Yeah, phone not helping, didn't see last update.

[Kevin]

lady on the phone said that it was missing the rear seat and all the plastics... "yep, sounds perfect"

[FZRguy]

Good to hear and hope it's not damaged much.

[maktastik_jr.]
