Woke up this morning (04\06\09)to find that some A*&%hole decided that they were more deserving of my new zx6r than I am. Last seen 6pm 03/06/09 in our secure apartment garage with brake lock etc....(Eden Terrace)
I have saved for 6 months to get the cash to purchase the bike without HP and now its gone. Unfortunately my license type prevented me from insuring it but in hindsight could have done it for fire and theft(can only blame myself for that one)
If you happen to see or hear of someone acquiring a 09 blue zx6r number plate 51zyh then please let the "boys in blue" know.
Anyway it back to my wifes VTR 250 while I figure out how to get some cash fast cause it was one hell of a bike.

Yup, if I see the cunt, I'd be sure ring the cops and then I'll jump him.

dude you have to try swann insurance, i'm on my learners and have my scooter on 3rd party fire and theft and my RG150E on full cover with open rider!!
only bad thing is cause of my license i'm on a 250$ license excess and a 750$ age excess as well as the usual 250$ basic excess, my scooter is like 150$ a yr, and bike is 400$ a year for full cover, both valued at 2Gs
hope this helps :) (p.s if u have the ignition hardwired with a remote start no-one will steal your bike unless they have a big van)

That sucks man. I'm just around the corner and spent ages looking for somewhere with its OWN garage - for exactly this reason.
I've never liked those apartment garages for bikes.
have a word with Chris at Motomail - he's got a friend that was looking at setting up bike storage facilities in Newton.
If its still a goer it could be a better parking option for you on the next one.

Bastards. When I went away for 3 weeks over Christmas, I undid the main axle bolt on the front wheel of my Harley to the point that it was just hanging on by a thread. I was almost hoping it would get stolen.

Dont they have any camera's in the garage. I live in a apartment to in Grey Lynn and have been lazy about locking the bike up. Harsh lesson to learn though, but it pays to have insurance. My old man insisted I get it when I got my ride and two months later it was written off. Still cost me $2000 in insurance costs but better than $10000 and no bike

We do have camera's. The cops are taking a look now so hopefully they can get some leads as most criminals are notorious for appearing on security camera's.

Sorry to hear that mate.
Hopefully they'll catch the cunts before they flog/chop the bike.
Just pays, in more ways then one!, to get insurance.

Id say its prob the same guys that took mine just a week before in St lukes.
Mine was a Blue Yamaha R6. Seems they may have been doing a run on Asian Sport bikes.

sorry to hear about your bike, and hope they find the bastards!
Im getting really sick of hearing reports of stolen bikes nearly every week or two, what else can we do apart from lock them up? Mine has three locks on it, and its under a concrete stair landing so cannot be lifted up and moved. And its covered up. Hearing this, im seriously considering taking it back home and locking it up as it is but inside a garage with alarm until things quieten down here in auckland.

So sorry for your loss.
They probably lifted the bike and took care of the disc lock sometime later. Tow truck springs to mind.
Did you have anything modded or unusual on the bike? Have you got pic's you can post to help id the bike, and chassis no' might help too.

I reckon they're taking them out of the country and they can do this in a very short amount of time. A container can get from here to Oz in a couple of days...
Edit: I haven't had a bike stolen but after some prick attempted to take my bike (I came home to find it had been moved in the garage), I'm feeling for you and I know how infuriating this is!
