Stolen - 89 FZR 400 Red White

[Shade]

Hi guys,

Just a quick post - bike got stolen from the new Warehouse Sylvia Park at 2:58am 14/06/06.

Was motoracers brothers (Sulav)'s old bike.

Guy who took it - White, 25-28, skinny with short hair. Shortish stature. (almost looks like White Trash, but not as tall).

Loaded it in a White Hiace van, black stripe down the sides, but didnt get a number plate.

Will post the video from the security camera tomorrow when i get it. Apparently he is known for stealing bikes / scooters from Botany downs. Any info would be much appreciated.

Video to come.

Rego - 71WEJ
Colour - Red white, with a bit of blue.
Distincive features - Short aftermarket exhaust can on it. Right hand engine casing scuffed from sulavs slide. (still, i know! :))

Cheers
Shadey

Shit! Not poor ol' "wedgie"! Bugger, there seems to be a theft curse on our family at the moment! Sorry to hear about this Shade - I'll keep an eye out for it!

[SwanTiger]

Yep.

I'd offer my Hyosung, but nobody wants to steal a Hyosung (touch wood).

[Flyingpony]

Good luck with it's recovery.

Asking an obvious question: Was the steering locked and another locked attached to said bike?

I find it absolutely amazing the number of bikes spotted that don't have at least their steering lock done up :nono:
It might not offer much, but it's a start. What is even more interesting, the more expensive the bike, the less likely it gets locked up. Yip, the old step through 50cc Honda from 1970 has more than many under 10yr old GSXR, Triples, CBR's etc.

For example: right now, I'm sure that silver GSXR-600 I've seen a dozen times is still not locked up, just waiting to be wheeled away. However the 1980's GN125 parked beside it is another story, would need a few engineering tools.

[Motoracer]

I got a baseball bat and I'm keen to lend a helping swing for the sting opperation. I don't think I've got your celly number since I changed phones. Just let me know if you require assistance. I'll come and help at what ever time, where ever.

[Shade]

No luck yet - keep you informed.

[Ixion]

Just one thought that occurs.It is entirely possible that the perpetrator is a member of this site - or if not a member reads it as a guest.

After all, he must be into bikes in some degree.

And if so, then he presumably knows all about this thread. Which makes it rather a vain effort?

Good point!

[sAsLEX]

Good point!

Alas you are assuming these criminals are smart!

And from the sounds of it, it was rather oppurtunistic, the fact he had to go and find some wood to get the bike in the van suggests he wasnt prepared.

[Shade]

Exactly -

I considered that he might read these forums, but if he was a bike theif, he would have a bike ramp in the van, wouldnt he?

I think hes a thief, out with an empty van looking for something to steal, probably cruising around the back by the stockroom lookin for somethin left out. Saw the bike, grabbed some wood, and see ya later.

Have the video now, 684mb :/ ugh, 15 mins footage, anyone know how to compress it?

[Ixion]

But, from the original post



Will post the video from the security camera tomorrow when i get it. Apparently he is known for stealing bikes / scooters from Botany downs. Any info would be much appreciated.


Actually, on that basis might be better to stake out Botany Downs

[sil3nt]

Have the video now, 684mb :/ ugh, 15 mins footage, anyone know how to compress it?if your using windows XP then use windows movie maker. Just import the video then when you save to your computer it will ask you what quality you would like. A 15 minute video could take 30 min or more to compress. If you need some screenshots for instruction just ask.

*edit*
15 minutes of high quality video will be about 200 megs. I wouldnt imagine you could get anything watchable below 100 megs. You could cut the parts of the video that arent needed though.

[Shade]

Police just knocked on my door -

Apparently the bike has been recovered out West somewhere. Being held in a tow yard for me to pick up.
Dont know what condition the bike is in or whatever, but sounds like good news!

[Sniper]

Good to hear

[paturoa]

U got a visit, you'd normaly just get a phone call.

Hope not too much damage.

Don't forget to take cash, the towies prob wont let u have the bike without paying.

[Kwaka-Kid]

WICKED News! Rcokin' :D

[Shade]

Yeah, good call that one :)

[Badcat]

thanks brilliant Shade.
hope the bike's still ok.

ken

[Shade]

Hey guys,

Thanks to all those who offered support to me with regards to the bike.

Much appreciated. Really good to know there is still decent people in this world eh!

Hopefully the bike is in one piece. Will find out tomorrow.

Cheers - Will post some screenshots of the guy when I get the video back.

[Motoracer]

Nice one! Warms my heart to hear happy endings.

Good on the Po Leeece too!

[sAsLEX]

Good on the Po Leeece too!

2 from 2, this is getting a bit dismal for the police knockers on the forum aint it:gob:

[Dutchee]

2 from 2, this is getting a bit dismal for the police knockers on the forum aint it:gob:
Still plenty stolen out there - our three (tlm200, fantic, drz250) from late last year/earlier this year, a couple of supermotards (klx650 & ktm from memory).
Good to hear some bikes are coming back though. Hope they throw the book (plus anything else heavy they find) at the scum.

[Two Smoker]

Wicked you are getting your bike back mate :niceone:

[sAsLEX]

Hope they throw the book (plus anything else heavy they find) at the scum.

More than likely all they will recieve thrown at them is a wet bus ticket and some compensation for their hardship of being caught!

[u4ea]

BLOODY FANTASTIC NEWS.:doobey: :yes: what a way to start the week,defnitly put the bastards profile on here PLEASE .be good to know what scum is lurking out there.:nono: you never know where they will turn up!!!!!!!

[paturoa]

Shade - u out there - how's the bike?

[FlangMasterJ]

That's good news.

There's still hope.

[NodMan]

Wicked you are getting your bike back mate :niceone:
NOT so great for Shade...I went to pick it up for him, its well crashed/write off (and still waiting for release form)..back to me mate soon as its cleared

[DemonWolf]

Bloody hell.. thats not good at all.

So how was it found.. and did the bugger that crashed it know it was stolen (or wasn't anyone around when the bike was found) Any PIC's?

[Clivoris]

Bummer. Sorry to hear that.

[Biohazard]

F**k sorry to here she didnt make it m8...

Im well and truly gutted for you m8.

[NodMan]

Bloody hell.. thats not good at all.

was crashed. heard one located with bike BUT not the mongrel that lifted it! He still outstanding at last report...sorry no pics yet will take some once shade gets back to me to uplift it

[Shade]

Hey hey,

Sorry, been working stupid hours, and havent managed to login for a bit.

Bike was butchered before the crash, ignition barrel ripped out, hotwired, number plate changed with Vivid (idiots), tank cap ripped off - then crashed.

Damage - Right hand side engine case smashed, big hole in it, front screen/fairing hammered, not sure if intruments were intact, forgot to look.

Right side fairing has slide damage etc, left side fairing, big vertical crack, probably from when they threw it in the van.

Handle bars bent, dont know how the forks are etc.

Anyways, back to the better news. They have the idiot who was riding it. Also, have pictures of the video that I finally have in my posession.

Anyone who knows this Numpty, or has seen this van, please let me know ;)

[Ixion]

Surely, whoever was on the bike when it crashed (and mr Nodman says they have him), MUST know who he got the bike from? Who presumably is the thief. or if not, follow the chain back.

[Shade]

Thats the plan dude :)

[paturoa]

distinctive van with black stripe and dented front door - will keep my eyes out in central and west

[crashe]

Is the thief wearing a white mask?
Or has he seen no sun in a very long time?

He has a receding hairline as well.


Will look out for that van out west as well..

[Sniper]

Anyone who knows this Numpty, or has seen this van, please let me know ;)

Remember, this is case number 5.

PT. Shit news to hear that it came back damaged.

[Shade]

Mod - delete post.

[sAsLEX]

Looks like that guy riff raff was/is seeing!

[slob]

NOT so great for Shade...I went to pick it up for him, its well crashed/write off (and still waiting for release form)..back to me mate soon as its cleared

Damn, that sucks! I really used to love that bike back when I owned it - I've never held more corner speed on another bike!

Any chance of getting any compensation out of the culprit Shade?

[Shade]

Video of idiot

[paturoa]

has he got sunnies on or just mega brows?

[Kwaka-Kid]

GRRRRRRRRRRR Makes me so mad.

Well helps here dude, as much as i can anyway. Itll work out, and this guy had better get done dry for it!

[Shade]

Hey Slob -

Yeh, well, ill do my best to get what I can outa him. :/

Makes me so mad aye, but it'll sort out.

[paturoa]

GRRRRRRRRRRR Makes me so mad.

Well helps here dude, as much as i can anyway. Itll work out, and this guy had better get done dry for it!

anyone want to wager with me that he either gets off or community service?

(I had a bike stolen a few years back, both got off)

[Jonny Rotten]
