STOLEN - 2007 Yamaha R1 - Black

**alistairhay** · 1st July 2010, 00:32

Dumb situation and in hindsight, a lot could have been done differently, but a guy (name was Mase, skinny white guy who speaks funny,they turned up in a new hilux) came around tonight to take the bike for a test ride. Said he loved it and would pay me the cash as soon as he got back if everything went sweet. His mate dropped him off and stuck around for a while. Got some car keys off the guy before he took the bike. Mate said he had to go pick something up and would be right back... and you guessed it.

Bike is a black 2007 Yamaha R1, rego is 83YYF.
My contact is Alistair, 021776730. And yes, I know what should have been done as far as deposit, etc is concerned, but hindsight is an awesome thing. This happened in Drury, Auckland.

You're kidding right!? Third one in two weeks? That little maggot has got it coming to him.

Someone in Auckland with a late model bike should get that sting under way.

That's the 3rd bike stolen this way within a couple of weeks. It's almost unheard of to have this many sportsbikes stolen, sounds very organised (ie shipping them off or giving them new identities). Was it advertised on TradeMe like the others were? Good luck with getting it back...

Yes, bike was advertised on Trademe. Came to look at it on the weekend and came back tonight for a 'test ride'.

I suggested it in the other thread. PB mag in the UK ran an article on some 'vigilantes' who took matters into their own hands. They left a bike parked up in the dark, 4 big dudes sat waiting in a van watching the bike. The rest is history, for the theives they caught. I honestly think it's time someone up your way organised another bike for sale, with that GPS tracker. Fuck 'em up large.

Note sure if its been asked in the other threads...

(No I'm not a cop...) but
What color was the Hilux?
Did it have tinted windows or anything else which might make it stand out?
Can you remember the plate or any numbers from it?
The Skinny white maggot, did he have any distinguishing marks? Scares etc.?
Did he have facial hair? Glasses? Mullet? Short haircut?

Might just help to keep an eye out for a skinny white dude driving an X color Hilux. We could just beat up all skinny white guys, but the Hilux might narrow it down a bit

.

But seriously, sounds like these pricks know how to establish trust. The fact that they are using the same M.O means they can be caught

Really sorry you've had this happen...bit of it going around up there. Damn nasty. I'd say these guys will be caught shortly as they'll get too cocky. I do like the idea of setting them up....I'd go for the quiet follow them home and then.....ha that would be when the nasty payback could begin. When you've finished you then call the police, anonymously

**hayd3n** · 1st July 2010, 07:29

was your contact number listed on trademe ?
or did the wanker contact you via his trademe name?

**crazyhorse** · 1st July 2010, 07:30

Let this be a warning to ANYONE selling bikes that if you see someone approach in a hilux - ring the cops!

**steelestring** · 1st July 2010, 07:54

Man that sux! I will keep my eyes open for quick sales.
Gotta get those shits!

**one fast tl1ooo** · 1st July 2010, 08:13

lets set up a trap. and when we get our hands on this prick.. we can hold a kb, kick the shit outta the prick party

**dogsnbikes** · 1st July 2010, 08:22

WTF not again,so next week it will be a CBR,that will complete his Jap collection........

these guys be lucky to be able to walk when they are caught

please tell us he didn't borrow your riding gear

**javawocky** · 1st July 2010, 08:27

should set up a special back room in Colemans for such purps - 'So whos in the room today? Ah some skinny Eminem, still another week till we call the cops on him'

At the very least organise a compulsory rugby match between The Kiwibikers 15 and the Thugs 2 on the way to the station.
