Bike stolen today (5 Nov)

[1vanvan1]

My house was broken into today and just my motorcross bike was nicked.

Its a 2004 Yahama YZF250. Blue in colour. Has a Bills pipe without baffles for it is real noisy. One of the Radiators is squished so the plastic is all bent.

Was taken from my house in Dannemora somewhere between 12pm - 2pm.

Any help with people keeping an eye out would be much appreciated!!!

Sorry to hear mate!!
How the hell to they get onto these bikes so often. They must have permanent patrols around Howick and East Auck to spot bikes and follow them home.

Question: If your car or trailer is registered to your home address can they just spot you anywhere on your travels if your bikes on the back and track your address down that way so they can nick your bike???

Funny though how a lot of them are in East Auck!! What are the cops doing about it 1vanvan??

Bloody thieving SCUM!!!!

Not sure, Sister spoke to the cops and she is fairly useless.

I'm thinking it might of been all the DARK skinned people that have been coming around for inorganic lately and they were just waiting till no one was home. Just glad i took the road bike with me today!

[Ktmboy]

Jeez mate thats not good. East Auckland yeh? Seems to be a epidemic out that way.

Noisy bikes are easy to spot. I'll keep an eye out... rather, ear to the ground.

[2_SL0]

Mate it was my house last week same area, and KX250 taken. It sucks.

[Reckless]

Ah ha! Trouble with Dannemora all the garages face the street so when you come and go they can see it all and there's nowhere to clean your bike except out front.

Some fucker stole my re issued credit card out of my mailbox and used it over the last couple of days! Thank god for Internet banking, I put a stop to it pronto! Banks gonna swing for the money as well!! So thats OK. We have inorganic collection here as well!! So leave you all to come up the your own conclusions.

Van watch out they don't come back for the road bike!
Life in the New NZ!!! living fear of the fucking thieves! Great isn't it!

[1vanvan1]

Yep, Im justing lucky they didnt take my leather pants. My other 2 helmets, motorcross gear. And then they didnt venture further into the house. I guess they planned to only come for that.

Fuckers! They let a hat though which is a hat a lot of dark skinnned people wear. So that my conclusion!

[1vanvan1]

Dunnno, This crime seen lady came over and tried to get finger prints off a helmet the were going to nick. But it musta been to small so they took my other one. Fuckers. But no avail with the finger prints. She took the hat and will get back to me about the dna

[2_SL0]

The crime scene lady mention many other bikes being stolen, I imagine its the same person we had dusting our place for fingerprints.

Fark man... really sorry to hear... I came and had a look at your bike a few months ago when I was hunting for a bike... Yours was one of my final 2...thought you would have sold it by now...

Really sorry bud...

FYI for everyone.. Insurance is about $170 a year through NAC. If its in a locked garage...
it covers theft, damage during transport and damage because of natural disasters... excess is $300...

Yeah, It run outta time on Trademe and i forgot about it and left it for ages lol.

[Hemex]

Oh shit...lol... Really sorry though bud...

Any neighbours got security cams or anything? Will keep a lookout when I'm out riding..
Any stand out features other than the squished radiator?

[1vanvan1]

Not really. The front plate has a lot of different stickers on it. See the photo. And its got a real distinct sound. I havent heard many other like it.

a big hardend chain and a $75 paddlock protect my pride and joy now. ever since my neighbour took my bike a while ago... still makes me laugh..... ha ha ha ha ha when will they learn not to f**k with me....

[B0000M]

no consolation or help but...


theres no dirt bikes being stolen down here......... and about 1% of people own dirt bikes here too not including farm bikes

[Hemex]

a big hardend chain and a $75 paddlock protect my pride and joy now.

Will this be enough? I still havn't got insurance and was contemplating a simillar solution... If the bastards have the time to break in in broad daylight as with the case of 1vanvan1... How hard will breaking the padlock and chain be?
Then again insurance companies are thieves too... :argh:

Cheers for that MXHeman - fk thats cheap aye!- must look into it soon. Sorry to hear about these scum takin your bike 1Vanvan1 - this sucks.Hope it turns out to your advantage mate and the cnts get caught. Tossers!

[howdamnhard]

Sorry to hear about your bike,will keep an eye out for it.Thanks for the head up about bikes going missing in our area,might have to dust off the disc lock.

[Pierce]

I say this everytime i read one of these threads but i feel for oyu mate. Bad Bad news indeed.

Keep an eye out on trademe, they may try to resell it on there.

[Hemex]

No worries mate... I got a quote bout a week ago...still havnt agreed with them yet though! Should do it soon... Well worth it I think... Although i still beleive Insurance companies are theives :)

[oldskool]

Sorry to hear, we're having the inorganic collection in our area too, and I have to say we're getting dodgy looking people slowly casing our streets as well.

My content insurance only covers for bike parts and the parts can't be attached to the frame, so unless I completely strip down the bike after the weekends it's gonna be a big padlock and a motion activated web cam. Fortunately my bikes aren't that expensive to stress over.

What happens to the stolen bikes anyway? Are they stripped down and sold as parts? Left at cuzzies farm?

[Blair.DRZ]

Sux to hear about all these stolen bikes !!!AMI do bike insurance as well, costs me about $6.00 a month for mine, covers theft from garage etc, just doesn't cover theft if its sitting on a trailer or ute somewhere. Even though we don't seem to have the bike theft problem down here in the lower North, I still keep mine in a locked garage with a big ass steel cable and padlock on it.

6 bucks a month!! Shiit...I should find out about that...Does it cover anything else!? Natural disaster damage? just wondering...

Theres no real chance of it getting stolen of a trailer really...Unless there are guys hovering around looking to nick bikes of a trail... Like at thunder a wee while ago... Guys in a ute, walking around the far end keeping an eye out for bikes that cant be pulled out and the rider goes back to call for the quad! Bastards!!:bash::ar15::ar15:

sounds pretty good. One thing I'm not clear about is if there is damage caused by accident when bikes in transit between house and bike track. Is this covered with your vehicle policy because trailer (or bike on ute) is attached to car?

[slimjim]

yea mate ...only way to way is to have a heavy ass chain...bolted to concert floor...even if you reckon your home is safe...cause it aren't really when you read about the amount of thiefs....only going to get worse as more look for a cheaper opotion for cash...

yeah mate $6 bucks, but my bike is probably not worth as much as yours.
I'll have to check the finer details on the insurance paperwork, but from what I can remember, it covers theft, fire and more than likely natural disasters when stored in the garage. I think it is covered in transit as well.

I know that this (cover during transport) is covered with the NAC policy... although that is $170 bucks a year and not $6 a month!! NAC also covers damage due to natural disasters...

Must check this option out!! Although what you said about bike value will make a big difference...:pinch::gob:

[cheese]

AMI will insure a dirt bike only if you get all your insurance with AMI. I was quoted $80 a year to cover mine for 7k. and that included if it fell of the trailer in transit or stolen off the trailer in transit, but not anything once you are at the track.

Thats not bad either... Have to renew my House and contents policies in December... so maybe I could get a quote from them... Thanks cheese..

[Blair.DRZ]

OK, AMI cover all theft, fire and natural disaster if it gets nicked from your home, it covers when in transit, so even if it fell off the back of the trailer its covered, or if some dumbarse runs into ya. The reason mine is not covered for theft off a trailer is that I don't need a key to start it, so may be different if you need a key. But as Cheese said, once you are riding it then you are on your own.

[dafydd roberts]

I just sent AMI an email asking if they cover dirt bikes at home they say they dont??

[B0000M]

insurance companies never seem to tell the same story twice, one minute for one person something is covered, next minute for the next person the same thing isnt.

odd

Sounds a bit odd mate, i checked with them ( AMI ) today about the details of my policy, and its definitely covered, by home i don't mean its covered under home contents insurance if thats what they mean, its a special insurance for dirtbikes.

Here is what they said.


Thanks for your email,

We do not generally cover trail bikes.

I guess as cheese said... They probably will only if you have all your other insurance with themm too... I could be wrong..

[xen]

Damn that sux 1vanvan1 , shit theres heaps of them being taken.

I rang AMI the other day, I have contents with them, they said would only cover my bike for fire not theft cause it doesn't have a key ignition. Screw that!

Will check out NAC

[2_SL0]

I am not going to comment much on insurance online, however mine was covered but it was not straight forward. I strongly recommend everyone to confirm their insurance coverage. Particularly if you live in East Auckland.

[tommorth]

that sux hope you get it back .I reckon bike thiefs are the lowest form of thief maybe a tree will fall on the fkrs

ps not all of use brown fullas pinch shit
