Some m*therf*cker stole my Buell (Auckland, 2 April)

[Badcat]

well - last night some lame fools stole my xb12x.
parked in a locked garage (apartment building)
reg number 79 ZEG
VIN 5MZDX03J263700844
It's black - with michelin PR2s (new of course) and has an australian ECU (of course i just had it all dyno mapped)
the only thing not standard is the ECU - as i replaced the jap one it had - i have the serial number if needed - but i doubt the bike will surface, it was obviously stolen to order ...
early this morning (02 April) 4.30 AM - orange van broke in and loaded it up.
i will view the camera footage today - i'm told we have almost the whole rego.
if anyone has a lead, i'd be keen to hear it. and i will follow it up -if you get my drift.
i'm a bit ticked off, just quietly.

rachel and i were totally loving the bike too - will prob buy another if the insurance co treat us right.

How are they able to pinch bikes apart from loading them? Jumpstart? Also what if the steering is locked?

[ManDownUnder]

Post the van rego if you get the chance... there's a number on here that may be able to look it up... We can keep an eye out for that too (bike might be chopped/painted etc ... but less likely the van will be - and it's easier/bigger to spot... slower/easier to follow...

Which part of Auckland was it?

Any chance of getting a clever dick to post that security footage online? Might be fun to see what we can do with it (ID people, the van or whatever). Who knows... but nothing ventured nothing gained.

[Badcat]

How are they able to pinch bikes? Jumpstart??

two guys and a van.
lift - stuff - drive.

[Blossom]

Man there are some real pricks out there. :angry:
Hope you get her back real soon. Ya never know. Good luck.
Have you got wheels in the meantime?

as soon as i see the footage i will.
it was in the bottom of town - by the vector arena.
thanks for the support - i feel a bit angry right now.

thanks .
i have a cage - and the mighty 500 streettracker - so i'm good.
rachel's gutted - it's the best bike two up we've ever ridden...
off to amps i think...

[Crasherfromwayback]

I'll tell the guys in Spares to keep an eye out for anyone wanting bits for said vin number mate!

PM me if you get the rego number!

Pete

[Finn]

Condolences. Regardless of catching them or not and an insurance payout, it's still a major inconvenience and a total piss off.

If one thing tips me over the edge, it's thieving scum, especially given what doesn't happen to them in the courts.

thanks pete.
really appreciate it.
the ecu is the only thing that's not normal - we reprogrammed an '03 xb12 one (my bike is an '06) and i will have that serial number soon.
will put all info up when i get it.

Post the van rego if you get the chance...

If he only has a partial rego, then it'll be up to the cops to run the search. Still, can't be too many orange vans around unless that's stolen too. Probably has fake plates as well.

All good. I'm running on the theory that all information has value - who knows if anyone on here can use it in some way.

The orange van is a stand out feature like you say. Curious to see what kind it is too - between make/model (year?) and colour there won't be many, so even a partial match on a plate if I see it on the road could be interesting.

[Livvy]

Here's hoping you catch the bastards. Theft is awful... But at least you got security footage - the little cunts probably didn't think of that (either that or they're damn ballsy in which case they're liable to fuck up somewhere along the line and then you'll have 'em...).

[barty5]

sorry to here bout bike needless to say that the video footage will proberly not help as i video footage of mine and the cops took one look at and new the guy by name this was back on 3/12/2007 and he is still out there they have done nothing about it cant be that hard to find someone when you know there name. Anyway hopefully you have better luck than i im just glad my insurance paid out thankfully.
ps. i can trace the plate through work for yah

[nudemetalz]

Really sorry to hear that, Badcat.
There is some scum out there.

[EJK]

You will get that fucker :niceone:

[kevfromcoro]

You will get that fucker :niceone:
Go get them EJ .......and bash the daylights out of them

[Badcat]

forgot to mention the bike has wave pattern discs front and back.
never seen a buell with a wave disc on that wierdo rim mounted ZTL front disc - so that may help anyone if they see it.

ken

[HenryDorsetCase]

condolences. I look hard at every buell I see because I want to own one.

If I see wavy discs or whatever I will be right on the phone.

bright side? maybe you can get an 1125R next?

no - the xb12x is perfect for me - and rachel.
i'll be buying another one.
preferably soon.

Dude, you got another pair of eyes on the look out here! Lets see if the KBers cant spot it and get it back for you. Good Luck.

Still say lifting a bike with 2 guys would be a hard job considering the weight of the bike.

Mate, I understand. Thinking how we can better protect bikes.

[Waxxa]

Dude, if some mofo wants the targeted bike, there is very little that we can do to stop them. Alarms/locks/chains etc...they're all preventative measures but to professional crims' this is there job and they will stake out the premise (and you) and get any equipment they require for the job.

Some friends of mine had there business broken into just recently and the effort the crims' went too, to clean out the place was incredible!

[Coyote]

Shit. Once I get a flat, my bedroom will be where I sit my bike and I'll make sure any cretin can't get the bike out without disturbing me. Considering I won't be able to afford insurance...

[slimjim]

yup that's about all you can do, keep stuff insuranced , very little chance of getting stuff back , and cop's goverment and insurance company's should display photo's alot more on tv, cop 7 programme i watch mostly to see who's mug shot the cop's want a hand to find should be for petty theives as well be nice to see alot of these photo's Air

[Badcat]

ok - just viewed the security camera footage.

the van (and i saw the fucking thing drive out with my bike in it) is a red or orange ford econovan or similar - quite modern.
the plates are either
QY4708
or
RY4708

can anyone help here?
some info would be great - as it looks like someone that lives in my building let the thieves in. oh boy, would i like to meet him.

Sorry for your loss. Hope it doesn't get ridden through a brick wall like the last stolen bike on this site.

Open to correction on this but if I understand correctly there was no "Q" series numberplates...

Anyone able to confuirm name rank and serial number of the van in question?

[Badcat]

just spoke to the cop shop.
RY4708 is the number - red econovan - also stolen so a dead end UNLESS someone knows the whereabouts of that van.
anyone seen it?
has tints, and some small stickers (couldn't make them out) on the windows and rear.
theft happened 5am-5.10am this morning.
man - i got pretty wild seeing that van leave on camera with my bike in the back.

Hey.. badcat - you got a description of the guys?

[ajturbo]

shit man... i dp hope you managed to get these fuckers... and

well lets say i hope you have "contacts"...

[barty5]

forgot to add the people in vid if you saw them wasnt a dude with tats down left arm large beard possible pony tail. kinda like this fucker.

That is the dude??? Should be instantly recognisable to any Gang Liaison Officer at Auckland Central...

[LilSel]

prob the same assholes whom got distrubed stealing my bike... luckily they took off... albeit close to a grands worth of damage to my bike from them 'picking it up' & carrying it over the cars in the drive to where they were about to load it onto the trailer... grrrrrrrrr

Hope they catch the bastards!!... It sucks... !!!

[LilSel]

Seriously... what about a stake out one night?? I'd be in... have large cable ties at work to zip around hands and feet... citizens arrest... then wait for the plod to arrive...

[barty5]

If it is the same guy he is well known to police hi MO is high perfromace bikes cars and boats personally i think it should be a high perfromance fist to the head followed by a high performance boot also to the head area.

[HungusMaximist]

It's pretty ridiculous how all these theiving cunts are popping up in Auckland.

I will keep a look out but being stolen, it's highly unlikely they're gonna ride it around considering it's got a chipped ignition.

Trust me, you can never be too careful with your bike, insure it, wire/chain lock it, disc lock it, add an alarm and ground anchor it if it needs to.

Last year I remember some guy got his nice Harley taxed, and it was like a similar scenario where's its locked up in a apartment garage. What he found that it was most likely an inside job, so keep your eyes peeled on those gatekeeper/security chumps.

Like I say everytime in these posts, our uni motorcycle club has a txt-to-bash scheme set-up last year to combat those opportunists. Just let us know, we'll be in to give them a bash.

[Japtwin]

condolences mate, that really sucks, theiving scum. Yep would like to know more about the van, make, year, size then we can all keep an eye out. Way to much of this shit happening.

[rocketman1]

About time some honest bikers started up a vigilante gang to catch these bastards, and deal with them, I mean report them to the police...NOT

[Badcat]

1993 Ford Econovan 2.0Swb V Light Van - red
Plate: RY4708 - it's stolen too

also - just found out a 2006 GSXR 600 (black) was stolen at the same time.
will have the rego tomorrow - was my neighbour's....

ah jesus mate! i really hope ya catch the pricks and the bike is undamaged .

My condolences mate, I hope someone out in KBworld finds these lowlifes so we can "report" them for "disciplinary measures"

Holy crap,

Cant describe how crap that is... :( I hope someone finds them and hands them over to the relevant authors.

Hope people keep their more serious messages to PM's, those fuckers are into bikes, wouldn't surprise me if they knew about KB, also, less public evidence is probably better in case someone does bump into those in question.

[Badcat]

when i called the cops and told them i had security footage featuring the rego of the van and the offenders they still wouldn't send an officer to take a look.
i'll copy the footage and drop it up to the auckland police station.
maybe they'll take a look if they get a minute...

Sounds like something Campbell Live might want to look at though... the footage, the evidence, the fact the cops didn't bother showing up... get the Minister of Police on there... election year and all...

... oh and the fact that some theiving bods get their faces plastered into national TV and someone out there in TV land might know who it is...

If you can see the guys, put a copy of you tube and post the link on every forum you can find.

people here could do the same. Fuck - even post the link on trademe forums.

For some sad reason newso's hang out in there - you often hear trdeme bords being mentioned on the news.

Once someone picks up that a story that there are 400 bikers looking for someone on you tube - at least one news org with a slow day will follow up.

YEAH BABY! How do we get that video, convert it into a format suitable?

I'm up for that - brilliant suggestion!

[Bikernereid]

Sorry to hear about you bike that is such a pisser. Thieves are scum and are the lowest for of life. The arabs have the right idea about how to treat them!!

Agree with posting the footage on youtube etc you never know and you can access a wider audience too. All the best.

i'll get it tonight and see what i can do.
i'm pretty video savvy so should be able to get it into a form we can post it everywhere.
also considering TV3.

Hire somone else to do it :D (p/t)

[vifferman]

This is all a bit sad. Apparently, the pleece don't put much effort into investigating motor vehicle thefts now because they don't have the resources and because MV thefts are so common. It's nuts!
What's the total value of the theft here? Two bikes and a van - $60k at least? If there was an armed robbery of this magnitude, or someone doing 100km/h over the limit, they'd be all over it. And what's really galling is that you have a video, and they're still disinterested in investigating.

Things are pretty fucked when more resources are put into enforcing speed limits than into crimes like this.

But you knew that. :zzzz:

Awesome... be sure to post it up here!!...

The guys that got 'interrupted' stealing my bike were in a blue holden ute towing a cage trailer with a concrete encrusted wheelbarrow in it (contractors I guess)... but then no doubt that vehicle was stolen too...
Mine was out in massey at the time...

Could possibly be the same guys/ring??

Fuel and its vapour in the tank probably wouldn't ignite all that well, plus the tank will absorb alot of the force.

I say C4 Moulded Tank Pad. Let him live with no balls or lower intestines!

Bad news Ken, I know how pleased you were with the bike.

Just for general interest, I have Ken's Ducati ST4 which he traded on the Buell. Lovely bike in showroom condition and a credit to you, safely locked up in my garage...but I'll just pop out for a look.

Bastards!!

Hey guys, I am the other victim with the black GSXR , firstly I want to thank you Badcat for all the work here (cutting the footage, finding out the rego # of the van etc.) I’ll promise to will help you kick/cut the guy’s balls who opened the gate and let the van in. So guys if anyone sees a black/silver gsxr 600, K6 rego number 79YKN pleeeaaaasssse let me know. Actually Badcat’s bikes year is also 2006 and the rego number similar 79 ZEG, maybe it’s a coincidence????!!!!!
Well my bike wasn’t insured so I wont be buying a new one soon unfortunately …will have a break for a while.

Still say lifting a bike with 2 guys would be a hard job considering the weight of the bike.

[Dafe]

How did you go with identifying the access control device used?

If you post a pic of the access control device or can describe it to me along with a description of the reader head, I'll tell you whether it has an archive.

Be aware, many access control systems have very limited buffers, therefore the card access information may be overwritten in a day, otherwise it could be years if it's a good commercial system. You need to get the building manager to extract the info ASAP.

How else can the gate be opened? Is there a Push Button or does it tie into an intercom system with a handset button release?

Also, Have you considered talking to the council? You'll generally get good assistance from them. There isn't too much traffic on the roads at that time, tracking the vehicle via the councils city wide camera network could be interesting.

I find it interesting that the cops don't consider this a top priority, If this is an organised ring then its operations could run into the millions. Even with that possibility the cops still don't seem to be proactive? Not a good look. Definately would make a good TV article.

How's the video footage coming along?

Sitting on the backside of the overpass on the Ramarama straight is worth more......

Are all bikers honest? This is the problem - nice bikes stolen, just like us KBs like to ride. The thieves have to sell the bike to someone and the buyer must know or suspect it is hot. Wot are the odds that someone on KB knows the thieves or future buyer. And how many kbs are riding hot bikes?

My point is - theives have to have a market to sell the bikes to and if all bike riders were honest there would be few bikes stolen.

Me too for the vids not playing properly

i'll take a look again tomorrow - and if they are still a problem, i'll re-encode them as quicktime and re-upload.
sorry - but i'm buggered after a huge weekend with my little ones.
had to explain where the bike went to my boy today - he said "you must be sad daddy" and gave me a hug. not bad for a 4 year old.

[Conquiztador]

Clips work well for me.

Dude, that is chilling. To se these lowlifes come in and rip the bikes off. Like it was the most natural thing in the world. These guys knew exactley what they were doing. No opportunist stuff here. Somehow they had got the info. Wonder if the Buell was not what they came for, but then decided to grab the other one too while there...

What a wakeup call!!!

Here is hoping that this will get someone to tell you something that will get these bastards!!

[HornetBoy]

Me too for the vids not playing properly

guys go onto the you tube site and search "these assh@les stole my buell" and all the viids will show up ,they work properly on the website for sum reason.

farken b@astards,weird they knew where all the camera where tho

whoever let them in and informed them about the bikes deserves to be shot

[Bigsexy]

:2guns:Fucken Bastards I will keep a look out mate.

[davesh]

Mate sorry to hear this a few mates hear in Rotovegas if anything comes up down this way let us know

[paturoa]

One thing occurs is that they must have had a good look around before.

Can you get the vids from earlier? I'm thinking somneone that walks in but doesn't leave in a cage.

Any luck with the security access codes?

oh and you've got a gem of a kid there!

Just a thought the vid were the two guy walk in heads covered then one in the black walks back he looks like is is on a mobile which would have to workin of a tower close by givin time of morning it was may be traceable as there is a time clock on the video as well to cross match times long shot but could be worth it also they kinda look rather youngish

[Sollyboy]

Just a thought the vid were the two guy walk in heads covered ........... also they kinda look rather youngish
Might be killer bees , might pay for Sth Auckland people to keep an eye out , sadly the gangster vids they watch from the usa have popularized sporty type bikes so expect more of this kinda crime and even less police action .
I will certainly keep my eyes open , sorry for you fullas loss

[Badcat]

the bike was involved in a major accident this afternoon.
it caught on fire the cops told me - outside the mt albert pak-n-save!
cop said he turned in front of a car - cat hit him and "poof" it went up -= in a big way.
well - at least it won't be sold to someone.
i feel better now - not sure why.
the rider was injured (maybe that's why?) and was collected at the roadside by a car that may have been following him.
that's all i have as of tonight.
will post any more developments...
k

[cynna]

shame he didnt die

[Conquiztador]

Here is hoping that someone got the cars rego and more details. These azzwipes have to be stopped!!

How bad do you want to bust these guys?

It will require you obtaining two pieces of info.

If you can get the Auckland council to use their motorway CCTV system to identify which suburb the van traveled from and then follow them again on the departure, you can cross reference their journey with vodafone/telecom cellphone tower sector registrations.
On the cell records, you'll see them passing in and out of the cellular sectors.
All phones registering the same towers at the same times on their trips in and out are the phones belonging to your culprits.

Depends whether you can be farked nailing them really! I'd definitely do it if I was you.........

You'd think the cops would do this and simply put an end to it??????? For the sake of two inquiries.

hey dafe - thanks for the tips!
what was the result when you did this?

[Subike]

the upside is it has been recovered,
insurance cannot refuse to pay out
down side the fuckers got away.
have to admit carmeras are the only thing we have these days that wll slow them down, nothing else does
So now you can plan a new ride, order those parts again, spend winter setting her up for summer.
In some ways this eppisode is now over and life should go on without being consumed with anger against the fuckers who did it.
Even though they deserve it, dont let them rent space in your brain with the anger.
Karma has already given the fucker a sore ass.

The motorway CCTV system is operated by Transit, not the Auckland Council.

The cameras are part of the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS).
The video footage feeds into a control room and human operators monitor the network for congestion, accidents, queues, flooding etc. These operators use the information to post messages on the big electronic overhead gantry signs. The ATMS operators also work with police and emergency services - but only for live monitoring. As far as I know, the CCTV camera footage is not generally recorded or archived.
