Stolen from Meadowlands, Auckland on Friday 18 June approx 6:35pm. The guy saw the bike advertised on TradeMe and asked to 'test drive' it. His mate waited in the car for about 5 minutes after he left for the 'test drive' and then his mate in the car sped off. The car was a BMW 320i or 318i, 1987 - 1992, gold/champagne colour. He's a Caucasian guy in his late 20's/ early 30’s, slim build, approx 6ft tall.

He also took my CLST Myth MC2 blue helmet (size small), Dri Climate Pro black jacket (size large), and Dri Blizzard black pants (size XL).

Bike has no rear pegs and no pavilion seat. Minor scrape on right front fairing. Bike has done approx 25,600 kms.

VIN: JKAZXCD127A026184
Engine no: ZXT00D022283
Chassis: JKAZXCD127A026184

If someone offers to sell you this motorcycle, please call the police immediately.

It’s likely that the plates and VIN number may have been changed (we have a feeling this guy knows what he’s doing). The bike might not even be blue anymore! If you have any suspicions what so ever, please let us know.

If you have any details of this bikes whereabouts please contact Mathew Buchan on 027 427 3645

Please, help us catch this lowlife SCUM!!

[Kiwi Graham]

Well I hope you filled the tank for him and gave him extra cash should he run out on his 'test ride'

Sorry you lost your bike, but it has to be said you practicaly gave it to them.

[Grubber]

Nobody test rides without leaving wallet and car and credentials and girlfriend behind. In fact nobody test rides full stop. Bugger aye!

[rustyrobot]

ARGH! That sucks. Good on you for being trusting enough to let him ride it in the first place and so sad that you got burned. Guess that'll change now. Sigh. This is how our society turns distrustful and paranoid - thanks to fuckers like him.

[rustyrobot]

Just a thought - how did he contact you? Would telecom or trademe have details that you could use to trace the person?

[breakaway]

Hold the fuck on, you let this guy take your bike on a test ride, WITHOUT HOLDING anything of his, and you also gave him your jacket, helmet, and pants?

Let this be an important lesson to everyone. Do NOT allow test rides without CASH IN HAND.

[monkey99]

Is eating the rodent after catching OK?

[Swoop]

Top Tip:
ALWAYS take a photograph of anyone taking a bike for a test ride. Full face shot.

Make them aware of the reason WHY you are taking their photo...


Good luck with getting your ride back.

[breakaway]

Mate photos don't do shit, and neither does holding the keys to their car.

There are hundreds of photos plastered all over the place, "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN", I doubt they ever help in catching the perp. And as for holding car / bike keys, it could be stolen.

Money talks. Everything else walks.

[ukusa]

STOLEN!!
He also took my CLST Myth MC2 blue helmet (size small), Dri Climate Pro black jacket (size large), and Dri Blizzard black pants (size XL). SCUM!!

I hope this scumbag is caught, BUT fuck, did you give him your missus as well? Wasn't it a bit suss when he had NO GEAR!
I would have held the guys entire wallet when he came around, take a photo & compare it with his license. If he's got no gear should ring bells that he's not really a serious buyer.

You live & learn, I do hope you get it back though.

[Mom]

Terrible way to lose your naivety. I hope you do get a good out come from this enormous learning curve, I don't imagine you could feel any worse, so attempt to ignore the knockers eh.

[one fast tl1ooo]

Bad luck.. hope you get it back:):)

[CookMySock]

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Some good suggestions on security here - I like the photograph of the drivers' license AND the photo on the person.


Steve

[onearmedbandit]

Sucks to read of this. Good luck with getting your baby back.

[javawocky]

Man that sucks.

Recently sold my bike, quick call to the insurance said a $750 excess would apply if the bike was stolen or damaged by other rider - so anyone that wanted to 'test ride' it I said you need to give me 750 cash in hand. Soon sorts out the time wasters.

[pocketcracker]

I Like the Drivers licence .. pic id .. idea ..

and WTF ! .. i was bidding on that bike on trademe .. Grrr .. seen it withdrawn by seller and though ahh bugga i missed it ! ..

will keep my eyes peeled !

[Mudfart]

yep food for thought. good luck i hope it was insured.

[PirateJafa]

Yep, I always either take a picture of their drivers license or hold onto it, and take a picture of their car carefully including their license plate.

And even then, I only allow test pilots based on a character judgement. Either I judge you trustworthy enough to ride it, or you're shit outta luck.

Best of luck getting the bike back mate, pity you didn't get the cars plate!

[dogsnbikes]

Bastards ...sorry to here you lost so much in such a short time hope you do get a positive result though.....alot of that happening at the moment and hell winters not even that cold for them to be wanting to go back to the slammer......

If he called your mobile(if you Have one) at least there is a lead within the number he called from,But if you haven't already contacted Trademe I am sure that they Can supply if not you but the police that traders information

everything use too be on face value,now we are at no licence no cash no ID no ride now,if anyone was too turn up to buy one of my bikes without any gear and without the full price there would be no ride

[Gibbo89]

hope you get your bike back mate, i'd hate my pride and joy being taken like that.

not much else to mention except i hope the drop kick that stole your bike was close-lined by an object and your bike came to a stop in a field of fuffy pillows...

[NatalieF]

Interesting to read all of your comments. Thanks to those of you with constructive comments. Of course in hindsight I should of would of could of done alot of things differently, and it's knawing at my brain!! It's the first time I've sold a bike before and I guess I never really stopped to think about how different it is to someone test driving a car. It sucks to think that you can't trust anyone, looks can be extremely deceiving, but I guess i had to learn someday.

The police have a few leads that they are following up through TradeMe and Vodafone. Also, someone spotted the bike driving around St Heliers on Sunday with no plates on, so please do keep an eye out.

pocketcracker: Sorry about that!

Got a feeling that this one may work out ok.

Best result would be the same happening as last time a ZX10R was stolen :yes:

what happened??

[imdying]

The little piece of filth that stole it crashed it and killed himself :yes:

[quickbuck]

what happened??

Lets just say the muppet jumped it over a round about at about 200km/hr in a city near me..... And ended up in a fence, and a box.

Edit: Woops too slow....

[madbikeboy]

The little piece of filth that stole it crashed it and killed himself :yes:

The world will miss that fuck (not).

Okay, I swap keys - meaning when they ride up, I grab theirs, and they ride mine. Or I grab a small deposit, aka the sale price of the bike.

[imdying]

Okay, I swap keys - meaning when they ride up, I grab theirs, and they ride mine. Or I grab a small deposit, aka the sale price of the bike.Don't run with that idea man, the only thing you might then have in your posession is the bike he just stole 30 minutes ago from the last guy :(

Swapping the keys won't ensure your safety though. About 20yrs ago in ChCh some guy stole a flash pushbike, took it to a cheap car dealer, left it as security and test drove a car. He then took that car to another dealer, offered it as a trade on another more expensive car and took that for a test drive. He repeated this proccess throughout the day and ended up in a flash Euro. I don't think he was ever traced.

Not that I don't believe you but a source would be good. Sounds like a good plan though.

Not that I don't believe you but a source would be good. Sounds like a good plan though.He was in said car industry at the time.

He was in said car industry at the time.

Actually it happened only a couple years before I joined the car sales industry, but it certainly tightened up test drive procedures. My point is, just accepting that the vehicle someone turns up in or on is actually there's may not ring true. Honestly, you could still employ this tactic now, but you would want to say you're either keeping the vehicle or have it sold elsewhere otherwise they will run a security check on it immediately and find out the true ownership.

Heard this on the radio today here in the Naki...!!! Mistakes and all - its all been said.......

Full story Nats... might help even more....?

You're getting married, your bloke sells bike so the wedding can be paid for. Arse biscuit steals the bike and if that wasn't bad enough - then the clanger.............. no insurance................!!!!!!

I hope it gets sorted and returned real soon for you both, so the plans don't go down the gurgler...... and may the arse biscuit spend many an eventful night as Bubbas bitch man whore, rented out to the cellblock neighbours......

Selling the bike to pay for a wedding?, that is just plane wrong!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your concern. This guy will get whats coming to him one day, soon I hope. He won't have fun in prison at all - hes a scrawny as white boy!!!! Haha

[cowboyz]

real shame! your bike was high on my watchlist.. only failing grace was its not green. hope you get it back in one piece or your insurance doesnt do the big exit and claim failure to protect insured item in all. (which sorry to say they probably will)

[aprilia_RS250]

I had a towey looking at my bike the other day and said he'd tow it. He put his hand on the handle bar and my blood started boiling. I asked him to take his hand off immediately. Lucky he did because I would have done something stupid. Two types of people I hate in this world are thieves and tow truck drivers. I hope you find those fuckers that stole your awesome bike and pay them back with some serious retribution. Shit like this really makes me want to get a snitch installed...

[NatalieF]

If any one gives me info that directly contributes to getting my partners bike back in one piece, we'll give you $1,000 cash! And if you knock him out, we'll give you an extra $500 ;P

[Mom]

Wheres Renegade Master?

[steelestring]

Thats a huge downer guys...... man there is some rs'wipes out there!!
You have my eyes peeled in wellington and the wairarapa.
I had my car stolen 5 years ago and only paid the last of it off last month. (3rd party only... under 25, turbo moddified)
I know who.. and where the guy lives. So do the cops. They have nothing solid on him.
I hope you do better than me.

Good luck

[alistairhay]

Hey mate, what was this guy's name? Was it Mase??? Did he speak funny? Cause my bike was stolen in EXACTLY the same way tonight. Reason I found this post by you was cause he told me he had just recently sold a 2007 Blue ZX10, so I thought I'd google it and bingo! My bike is (was) a 2007 Yamaha R1, Black - Rego 83 YYF. My contact details are Alistair - 021776730. This took place in Drury (Auckland)

[Warr]

Any news ................ ?

[NatalieF]

Yep, the police are finally making good progress. Will let you know the outcome...

Gee thanks for bringing up all of those valid points which haven't been mentioned before. Your input has been invaluable.

[Spearfish]

Said it once, say it again. Once he is convicted bend him in half a stuff him groin first into a woodchipper the deterrent effect would be huge.

Seriously though I bet nabbing him for yours will solve a few others as well.

Just couldn't help yourself could you fool?

Who's the fool ..............
Theres a saying that goes like this "A fool with there money is soon parted"
Have you finished wanking over Natalie yet, because she is a girl does it make any difference?
Sorry but your bike is like your missus you dont let others ride em:yes:

any progress?

[NatalieF]

This guy has stolen 7 bikes so far from around Auckland that we know of. Thankfully, 2 of them have been recovered. Not ours though!! :( but there is still hope.

Will keep you updated.

All I will say at this stage is that the theif is a DUMBASS and made some really dumb mistakes!! (Lucky for us). And it's not long now until he's being raped in prison. :D

[one fast tl1ooo]

I hope you get your bike back. :):)

[ukusa]

And it's not long now until he's being raped in prison. :D

this is of course the ideal outcome, just hope the judge is not a namby pamby sympathetic tosser who thinks this person (or persons) is genuinely sorry & can be rehabilitated & that prison would be unduly harsh.

[Coldrider]

[ttmadness]

Have you finished wanking over Natalie yet, because she is a girl does it make any difference?

I agree with you mate, what the fuck difference does it make if she's a woman. Too many softies around here.

As for the thread starter.... my god I feel for you, I really do. Usually the people who have bikes stolen have insurance and it is not too bad reading these threads. Probably spent what... 16 grand on that bike? Just taken away like that. No words for it.

But really people, what the fuck is it with so many folks practically giving away thousands of dollars of machinery?? Are you all just millionaires or waht? Honestly, even for falling apart- pieces of shit 250 cbr's I have always withheld keys for a car or money in hand.

A fool and his money is easily parted. Please, please get your bike back and keep us updated... all the best. Am keeping an eye out.

[gazmascelle]

I know its already been said so many times, but good luck with finding the bike, and I hope that guy gets fucked up one way or another.

that last zx10r looked a bit messy.. every time i see that repaired fence i wonder what makes people think it's worth fucking up someones pride/joy/efforts, or your own life, or someone elses, just for a bit of fun? i guess that's karma. can't say the same for the owner of the bike, or the girl that was riding pillion though.

lets built some more prisons :2thumbsup

[alistairhay]

Got my bike back and the cops certainly are onto it... they'll catch this dumb shit!

[ttmadness]

fuck nice!

[NatalieF]

CAUGHT THE FUCKER!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!! :D

Luckily the dumb ass made some stupid mistakes, which has eventually lead to his arrest..! :)

He'll be appearing in court next month. Hes pleading not-guilty which is fucking stupid as he has numerous eye witnesses who have all identified him.

Still havn't got our bike back, but I know that the two other people on this forum who had their bikes stolen from the same guy have got theirs back safe and sound so I'm happy for them.

I know that our bike is still out there as my partner saw it being driven around in Greenlane about a month ago (he was in a car and couldn't get through the traffic to catch up). Still has the same plates on it - 69ZZN. If you see it and tackle the rider to the ground, that'd be much apprecaited :). Seriously though, if you do see it and manage to get our bike back to us in one piece, we'll give you $1,000.

Please keep your eyes peeled!! Blue Kawasaki ZX10R 2007, no pavillion seat, plate 69ZZN.

Thanks!!!! :)

[rustyrobot]

CAUGHT THE FUCKER!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!! :D

Awesome (with a capital O!). That's such good news!! You'll probably even think about reselling it when (being positive here) you get it back huh ;)

If we get it back we will definately have to sell it cos we really need the money. But this time, no test drives with out cash in hand... lesson learnt!!! Can we have the bike back now?? ;p

Glad he is out of thge system for the mean time

[Argyle]

As I've mentioned in previous threads.. Bring back the mid evil punishments, stone the fella or chop off his hand! Or put him in a cage naked in the middle of Auckland so people can spit and throw stones on him till he starves or get killed from his infected wounds!

Nothing like watching him work up the courage to apologise!

There is another light fingered cunt from Pukekohe called Sean, Shaun or Shawn Ginty.
He nicked a couple of race bikes on a trailer from me a (long) while back. If you see him, give him a good hard kick in the nuts for me. Cops knew he did it but couldn't pin it on him. Andrew from the Pukekohe MC Graveyard wreckers helped out heaps with the recovery of some of my stuff, cheers to him.
I fucking hate thieves!!!

Anyone wanna buy a ZX10R ? ?

$2500 ono its pretty mint apart from the shreded back tyre....:yes:

Crazy Steve.

[haimsadia]

what's going on with it?

you said that it was still using the same plates.... right?

if that's correct can't u carjam it and get the owners address if the bike was sold in a legit way?

[haimsadia]

oh shit... no... you cant.. if the ownership was changed over you would have known who it was.....

ignore the looking for owner part above...

[NatalieF]

Bike has now been recovered (last week) - yay!!! :)

[cowboyz]

in one piece?

[NatalieF]

in one piece?

yep! havn't seen it yet but cops said its still in good condition :D

[Gibbo89]

yep! havn't seen it yet but cops said its still in good condition :D

great to see your bike was recovered. did the popo catch the fella that taxed it? or was it just 'found'?

[NatalieF]

Yeah the guy who was riding it claims to have brought it legitimately off TradeMe but I don't see how cos he wouldn't have been able to change the ownership papers since it had been reported stolen. Plus he said he paid $7,000 and its worth like $12,000 so you'd think there'd be warning bells going off there ay. Not sure what to believe but just glad we got it back we thought it was long gone. Still had same plates on it and everything

[marty]

pretty simple to track that purchase I would have thought

[The Everlasting]

That's great,especially since it's been a few months!!

[avgas]

Do you have a name of the thief?
