Yeah he hacked the ignition...and the fuel tank lid too.
I still have the orignal key but now any key/screwdriver will start it.
I got a quote to get the ignition and the fuel lid replaced with a new key...around the $900 range
To those who are interested, the address where it was recovered from was 4 Tauriwa Ave, Point England.

Argh. That sucks! Glad you got it back, but gutted to read about the damage. As has been said, that is one nice looking spada. Looks a totally different breed from my old dunga. Where did you get the custom bits from?

Make sure you supply details of the repair costs to the police and ask for reperation.
Please keep us informed. I would be interesed to know what happens to the little tow rag in due course

Glad she came back, even if she was violated.
Not sure if they will do anything re payment for damage. Some years ago a drunk driver smashed in to my car while I was out driving. I phoned the police on my mobile and kept telling them where we were while following him. They caught him and he ended up in court. Lost his licence and also his job. But nothing was done re re-paying me for the damage. Apperently that was nothing to do with them. I had to take the azzwipe to Small Claims Court, but that was a total waste of time as they have no teeth.
Scooter boy
Agree with others, get to court if you can, and name and shame the prick.
Then have a go at small claims court for your repairs, yes they are mostly useless, but not always, some times these losers have decent parents who make them cough up.
Small trick to secure a bike, a small stubby padlock through the drill hole of the front rotor, difficult for the opportunist thief to wheel away.

$900 for ignition an fuel cap, you could buy a complete spares bike for that.
I'd say just get a disc lock and be done with it. Who cares if a screwdriver will start it, it ain't going nowhere with a disc lock.

Well I got the official quote now from Botany Honda, not as high as first thought:
$996.10, though they can no longer get an ignition barrel so will have to source a 2nd hand one if needed. And I still need a quote from a paint/panel shop to repair the paint damage from when they dropped it on each side
This would bring it up to the same condition it was originally. That's one bloody expensive joyride

Can't you claim insurance for the ignition and other damages?
That person will be responsible for paying the excess. Even if they don't end up paying, at least you won't need to pay full price to get it fix.
