    I thought I would ask on here as well as trying to figure it out myself. I have a pair of Brembo 05's for a Post classic race bike. I got them to replace a pair of sliding pin caliper's on it originally and just used the Master cylinder that was all ready on it, it was a bit wooden but OK. But for...

    Hy there,

    My bike (2009 GSX-R 750) was stolen from the garage of the hotel that I am staying here in Auckland (just moved from Christchurch).

    I edited a video showing the criminals and giving some information.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WTOqOsMy6k

    If you know anything about these criminals or the bike please help!

    Thank you!

    Marcelo

      Yeh right!! when the dicks get handed a $400 fine (like in the thread referenced), a slap on the hand with a wet bus ticket and Poor Marcelo never even gets the reparation for his Insurance excess!
      No wonder the Revenue gatherers are all out behind their laser guns, more dollars for much less work!!
      I've lost a shit load of respect for the cops lately but I must say putting on all that work and seeing these scrotbags get fuck all, must be a bloody frustration!!

      Be interesting to see what they get! Keep us posted on the charges and penalties Marcelo!

      Oh BTW pleased for you mate!!

Theft of two vehicles, possession of breaking and entering tools, doing a runner from a gas station, etc. etc.

      The Police knew what they were doing and they were right in your case and my tenants.
      Because they're the cops, and "fuk da police" didn't ya know? Too busy dissing to be able to report the good news. Same clowns who spout off negatively about the coppers are the ones bleating for help when it goes pear shaped for them.

      Glad they nailed these two guys, hope they get what they deserve...good jail time.

      Good result. Lucky you, though it is still a shame it happened at all.
      Name and shame for sure although you won't be able to do that legally until the cops get a conviction.

      Thats half the problem right there- the judiciary! An old friend (police sergeant) used to despair after knocking himself out to catch the scumbags then have the judge/ social workers go all soft. (After they have been defended by legal aid at taxpayers expense i might add)

      It's not the Police, mate, they did their job and did it well, it's the Courts that make their job as frustrating as it is. They do their job, lay the charges and the Courts hand out the wet bus tickets! Get on the Judges' case, not the poor sods out there getting beaten up and tarred for our sakes!

      Like Edbear said, have a go at the courts, its them that hand out the sentence not the cops, they did their job and very well by the sounds of it.

      Well they did have a video. Wouldn't be too hard to find Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee seeing as they are bound to have previous.

      Glad you got it back though, I know the feeling.

      That is great news. I'm sure you would have rather it not have happened, but I think this is the next best thing.

      I envy your police work down there. We RARELY... , I mean.. I have heard of it happening twice in like 10 years of riding, that police recovering a motorcycle up here. If your bike is gone it is gone. I have heard countless stories of individuals with CCTV video and just being told by our cops that.... too bad so sad, that is why you have insurance.... and they do NOTHING! So I am really amazed to see your police actually taking the matter seriously. Two thumbs up!

      The judges that will be sentencing these lads are, just like the police, there to make sure the law is followed. It's not up to them to randomly change a law and give a couple of bike theifs 5000 years in prison, even if they really, really want to.

      You've got to go higher than that, I'm afraid.

      Ugh.

      They don't "choose" not to. They have references they have to adhere to, previous decisions and the gravity, deterrence and denunciation of the situation - then add in early guilty plea discounts, mitigating and aggravating factors. It's not quite as simple as, "Yup, you go jail now k."

      Exactly! Sad it isn't different. Wouldn't it be great to have them in stocks in downtown square and bikers could go down and chuck stuff at them ......eggs, rotten friut, coconuts, bricks, large rocks, etc!

      no, the judges set the precedent not the government.
      the government set the laws and maximum. The sentence is there, they choose not to go out of the norm as the don't want any sentence to go to appeal.

      And it is just that simple.

      For the second time you have chosen to complete ignore the reasons I laid out on why they can't do what you're suggesting they choose not to do. I know when to give up.
      Armchair lawyers, love it.
