[Fast Eddie]

[Tigadee]

[Latte]

What the heck is wrong with Hamilton? :crazy:

Proximity to Auckland?

[Berg]

I'd suggest fingernail pliers but I don't think my bosses would like it.

[imdying]

We know what address he is registered to, and some of the address his mates live at.Go there, before dawn, set the house on fire. You'll get no justice any other way. Make sure he and his mates are in it first though, no point wasting a perfectly good house.

WTF is with all these bike getting stolen around here lately?

[Coldrider]

What the heck is wrong with Hamilton? :crazy:the fireblades are all getting married.

[Fast Eddie]

the fireblades are all getting married.

better than getting stolen! another reason not to own an r1.. every p addict wants one.

[tigertim20]

I think Id be saying fuck the consequences, and finding a way to hurt the cunt. You know his name, it wont be hard to dig deeper and find a way . . .

All the cops can do is charge him.

I hope you are insured?

My 2008 Yamaha R1 was stolen on 21/04/2013 (Sunday evening) by Kennedy O'Conner Williams.

The bike was listed on TradeMe and Williams came over to look at the bike. He said he was keen, said he had to go and arrange the cash and trailer for pick up, came back a few hours later and took off with the bike when he was testing it around our culdesac. He had no helmet, no riding gear. He even gave us is driver's licence details and full name.

He was caught by the police about an hour later in a car with 3 other people but there was no sign of the bike.

He is well known to the police and is associated with P in the Hamilton area, as well as links in Tauranga, Rotorua and Auckland. We know what address he is registered to, and some of the address his mates live at.
We think that he has had a debt to pay and he has arranged the bike as payment. There's no way in hell he will tell the Police where the bike is...he knows his treatment at the courts or in prison will be much better than getting the shit beaten out of him by the guy he owes. The bike is probably stripped into a million pieces by ow but please keep a lookout for it or any parts you find for sal
Rego is A9KCB, bike is gloss black and has a QMOTO on the bottom of the right faring.

All information is appreciated!!!!

Sorry to hear mate. My R1 was taken on Saturday while i wasn't home. Ive put a post on here as well. Im glad he got caught. mongrels. Thats a good result for you. Frustrating aye how easy it can happen.

I wouldn't bother getting your hands dirty. You may know his/their address but they sure as hell know yours. Retribution won't get your money or bike back. If you're insured...put it down to experience. If you're not insured...erm...well many of us have been there. Put it down to experience.

No doubt they'll get the usual slap on the wrist from our judiciary....if they're even charged. No wonder the cops get frustrated.

Hi everyone - thanks heaps for all your suggestions and support.

On Wednesday I went and stuffed about 20 fliers with a photo of the bike and my cell number on it into the letterbox of Kennedy Williams. Yesterday I got a phonecall from a random guy who said he had the bike and wanted $1000 for its return. We carranged a time and place to meet - without any police involvement.

So I phoned the cops, told them what happened and arranged a time and place to meet them. Two plain clothed cops came in the car with me to meet the guy.

He was there by himself with the bike on a trailer....excellent result!

He's now in custody, charged with possesion of stolen goods, as well as having $2000 cash on him, police scanner (why didn't he use it???), meth and dope on him and in the car, no warrent, no rego.

My R1 is now safe and warm back in my garage, soon to have a big f*** off chain around it (until it's sold to someone who actually want to pay for it!!)

If your bike gets stolen - be really proactive in getting it back. Do your research, find out names, advertise it. Lesson learnt!

[cruss]

That is a great result.Good work

[Glowerss]

Excellent result, glad to hear it!

Moral of the story seems to be, never underestimate the stupidity of crims :bleh: Glad to see some hard work paid off :) And goobjob restraining yourself and not docking him one in the face. Thieves deserve a good belting as often and frequently as possible :Police:

GG - however i would sanitize any details of yourself in this thread, and also change your cell and home numbers....

lest one of his mates decides on retribution....

[Dogboy900]

Good job, well done. Glad you got it back.
Good advice from Xsannz there too.

Good result and well done to rely on the police who really came through for you.

It is a wonder sometimes...

Possibly a good idea as those invloved with P seem to be pretty mean. Could ask the Police what they would suggest in this.

I think he may already know where he lives.

[sil3nt]

Excellent news! Should have taken a camera and recorded it for us :bleh:

[BigAl]

Awesome news, let's hope he is put away but somehow I doubt it.

[Coldrider]

Awesome news, let's hope he is put away but somehow I doubt it.no, easy come, easy go. Part of the churn, steal, catch, release, repeat may times.

[breakaway]

Excellent outcome.

I hope you learnt not to let people out with your shit without CASH in hand. No, keys to the fuckers car won't do, because it could be stolen. Drivers licence? Can be faked.

[Maha]

'' He had no helmet, no riding gear''

Yet you let him take your bike for a ride? :niceone:

[Mom]

Big lesson learned. Really glad you got your bike back.

OMG! Just how desperate are you to be rid of your bike?

THINK!

[tigertim20]

great to hear the piece of shit got caught! nice job!!

bike all still in one piece? any damage?

[tri boy]

I'd bet money his mates like to wear red and black.
Tis an old mob game.
Steal the bike, then extort for cash.

[Mom]

Awesome news, let's hope he is put away but somehow I doubt it.

I reckon he will get a warning not to do it again...

Or, maybe a few hours weeding a roundabout to teach him a lesson.

Bet he never turns up...

[tigertim20]

Id be inclined to increase the security at home, not just the bike itself, these cunts probably work in groups and won't like their mates getting caught.

[almd]

No damage, bike is in perfect condition. Very lucky!

Not much more we can do unfortunately. There's got to be a point where you stop and think there's no point living in fear. If they want to get in, they will and an alarm, afew extra locks or changing a cell phone number isn't going to stop them. This has definately made us more aware of what these pheads are looking for though.

Police don't reckon there's much of a chance they will seek retribution - none of the guys we dealt with has a history of violence but I guess you never know for sure.

[scumdog]

Moral of the story seems to be, never underestimate the stupidity of crims :bleh:

So true!
Oh, there's a few sharp ones out there - but most struggle to lift their mental ability to the rank of 'fuckwit'.

[rocketman1]

Thanks for the post, I dont know what the answer to stopping this sort of thing, maybe take a photo of everyone that takes your bike for a ride? Seems a bit over the top. Will be make me very cautious in future sales

This has happened with dogs as well. A Hamilton gang has done the rounds of the supermarket car parks, spot someones pet in the car, followed them home, then stole the dog.

In one case,the elderly lady got a letter saying $2000, or the dog would be butchered.

The mongrels knew that an elderly widow would be to frightened to do anything to challenge them.

In this case the bastards got away with it. The lady remains absolutly terrified of them coming for her pet again.
