Guess who got 'stung'?

The shopkeeper that set a "man trap"?

Details as follows:

Dark Blue mazda bounty B2600 ute (with distinctive ding on left wing

) rego UL3817

Fairly new Blue Suzuki Gn125 rego A3 DBS
Older red Suzuki Gn125 - no rego

All three vehicles have Riderskills motorcycle training (doors and tailgate on the ute) tanks on the bikes.

... our thieves should be very well protected now with a selection of helmets, gloves and hi-vis gear to choose from.

Eyes peeled,

Philip

Thanks for info on bikes, and will keep eyes peeled around West Auckland. Might sound a bit presumptuous but have you had anyone recently on your courses that didn't seem quite kosher? No offence to your students, but it is quite possible that you may have had someone who was more interested in scoping out your gear, instead of learning to ride. The theft doesn't quite sound like it was an opportunistic sort of thing, more like a deliberate targetted act.

Philip, very sorry to hear this mate. I do hope these turn up undamaged or at least insurance pays out in full. Not the sort of setback you want when you have a business to run!

Certainly hoping they get caught.

Sorry to hear this,I hope the police or someone else sees the ute/bikes,and you can get them back.

I've been keeping an eye out for it.

bloody thieves are lowering the bar lately, first a GSXR750, then a Street Triple R & now a pair of GN 125's. What next, a chinese import scooter?

Seriously though, hope the thieving bastards get their dues.

Ute was found and recovered today. Was left abandoned in a car park in shortland street for last few days. Mostly intact and drivable, but with a screwdriver as an ignition key and access only through the passenger door.

All the gear and the bikes are still missing but just glad to get my workhorse back.

The motorcycle community is a family and excels when it rallies round to help a fellow biker. To everyone on here, a sincere thank you for all your help, good wishes and practical assistance. You guys have been awesome.

Particular mention the police motorcyclist whose consistent diligence led directly to the recovery of our vehicle today.

Be safe out there and watch out for the low lifes.

Philip

They obviously just wanted the bikes then. Glad you got the ute back at least. Hopefully the Police diligence will help catch the scumbags as well...
