My first post - STOLEN KTM!

So the 18 year old that paid for the bike at some point just loses the bike and monies?
Wonder if the trail of almost owners will be traced back.

Glad you got your bike back. Brilliant detective work, shame it had to be done by you and not the

Best thread-dredge ever!

Wow! Can't believe you recognised your bike and finally found it. That is awesome. :

I hope they can follow the trail backwards. Although not sure if they will "spend resources" to do that.

Just track back the owners......

tough when you've got unregistered bikes changing hands and no real official paperwork.
if flang guy was insured and they'd paid out it would now be the property of the insurance company

Sorry to start off with a post about a stolen bike but hopefully you guys and girls can help me out.

I've just had my KTM250RFS (350 kit) stolen today. It's a road registered motard that I use as my sole mode of transportation.

I parked it outside my workplace as I always do (The Colour Guy, 20 Daly Street, Lower Hutt, Wellington). Parked it at 8.30 am and finished work at 5 pm, walked outside to get on it and go home and low and behold some mother ....ers taken it. They must have chucked it on a truck cause it had a lock on the front disc.

There has been alot of time and money spent on this bike not only by me but friends as well and any information or support would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a few pic's. It's very distinctive because of the XGXracing decals and purple 17" wheels.



P.S. If I find the pricks who took it I'm definately gonna break a few bones and spill some blood! Feel free too suggest some forms of punishment.

Wasn't an insurance job? reason I ask, is if you want help I wouldn't want anything to come back on you. If your genuinely asking for help I will look around. Would you like a full tank of gas also? upon its return if it isn't parted out? sounds more like an ex girlfriend seeking revenge so think outside the square a little… how many people want a motard KTM that has personalized work done on it? was it insured? what kind of distinguishable work had been done to it? flyers on lamp posts near gas stations will help unless it has already been sent to australia for parts. KTM was developed for high altitude applications so again, why would you want to steal one… unless you were into gurilla warfare.


Do you know anyone with boat sheds? an old enemy? friend?

All I'm getting at the mo is boating and farming, maybe parked in a residential hillside residence. or out on a farm by a dock of some kind…. should register in your mind as soon as you read this the general location, go for a drive who knows… get GPS fitted to the next one or if you reclaim her gps her. somewhere thieves won't think to look… even fabricate some part of the frame to house it. (gps )

Flangmaster great news.
Not good at all that you had to hound police for two weeks,that is crap.

That's normal. Found my bass drum ($6k to replace) that was stolen 3 years ago on TM about 18 months ago. Cops recovered it but still haven't returned it. Won't return calls, nor will they respond to our lawyer who has written to them at our expense twice.

That's fucking disgusting.

That's fucking disgusting.

Nobody was speeding and no beneficiaries abused their kids or partner. Not really crime, is it?

You're joking right. The OP found the whereabouts of the bike and had to harass the pigs for 2 weeks to seize it at the address HE gave them. It was lucky it was still there. Those lazy cunts sure as shit won't be bothered to go through the previous owners.
