2008 yzf450 stolen today (12/07/11)

[barty5]

I was contacted via my trademe add for the gsxr by a guy claiming to be from Hellensville.
He txt me saying he would give me my asking price, wanted to pick up my bike that day and would make a bank deposit straight into my account before meeting me to pick it up. He asked if I could meet him at Westgate.
Sounded a bit odd, guy keen to buy it without seeing, and when I told him that i wasn't willing to give out my bank details to someone I had never spoken to, but that we could meet, go to the local ASB where he could give me the cash, and once change of rego was done, he could take the bike.
After numerous txts back and forwards, I gave him a call. He was insistent that he make the deposit first as he was worried about me taking the cash and then doing a runner (did he think this part through first...I mean, I would have the cash deposited AND still have the bike under his scheme) and that he was having to borrow it from his parents. I told him that he could either get me a bank cheque or bring me cash, that was it...haven't heard from him again.

I am sure he was trying to scam me. Almost went along with it to see what they were up to, but then thought better of getting involved in something dodgy.

do you still have the text it will be same people young sounding guy we could set him up if not i have his number might pay to set him up tell him you have re thought it and happy to meet him.

Pass his number on...tell someone to contact him offering him their bike, as you gave them his number as you've decided to keep your bike. Set a meeting point, and collar the cunt.

Yeah I still have them. In fact, txtd him this morning asking if he still wanted the gsxr, he txtd back:

Me: hey mate, are u still keen on buying the gsxr?

Him: how much

Me: Same as ur offer the other day

Him: I was lukn at a few kant remember sorry.

Him: hae mate ill give u 8100 for your gsxr todae

Me: Ok, where in the country are you from.

Him: helinsville would u b able to meet me in westgate,,

Me: Yes, when?

Him: in abowt an hour, wats your bank detailz so I kan make a cash deposit in to your acc

Me: most banks are at westgate, can get bank cheque or cash out there and do the change of rego at the same time.

Him: I do that online and im putting cash into ur acc bcause i need receipt u kan check it as soon as ive put cash in it shows up instantly.

Me: Sorry mate, a bit wary of scammers on trademe, not really willing to give out bank details to someone I have never met or spoken to. Just try to call ur number but went to voicemail.

Him: sorry mi ph plyn up, i kant do anything with ur acc num but deposit cash in.

Me: Who do you bank with?

Him: tsb but it doesn't matter i taking cash to ur bank and putting it in 2 your acc.

Me: do you have a landline I can contact you on?

Him: no i dont, and ime dpositing cash, not a bank transfer.

Me: The give cash straight to me when I give you the bike and I will take care of it. I will give u a written signed receipt or we can deposit it into the ASB at westgate together.

Him: kall

* So I call him, he tries to explain that he doesn't want to do it at the swap because he has had guys just gap off with his money on him...(how is giving me the money earlier via a deposit any better???) I offered to meet him at his house to do the trade and he made excuses saying that he lives in Hellensville and it is really far. This is when he told me his parents were giving him the money to buy the bike so would need to talk to them first. Never heard back from him.

The I sent the text messages this morning and got the replies above.

Happy to do this, but if you want to go down the path of getting him prosecuted, not sure how this will stand up legally (entrapment). My brother and his gf who both live out by Westgate are cops, could see if they can give us a hand, or organise some of the local cops to give us a hand. Yes he was a youngish sounding guy.

text him back & tell him rather than cash, you're keen for a swap with a dirt bike of similar value if he has one.

Yeah thought about it, but don't want to get his suspicions up. Hopefully he hasn't already decided I am trouble, he hasn't text me back since I told him I want to go ahead with the deal.

A guy on a stolen bike has crashed into a car, I think in West Auck, and is in a serious condition. Maybe thats him

Yeah, unfortunately the bike's likely to have sustained fairly significant damage too.

If it's the YZF, it won't be too bad I'm sure! After all...I slammed my RMZ into an immovable object at around 120kph, and it broke the clutch lever.

What sort of fuckwit would be riding around, on the road, on a motocross bike the day after he nicked it anyway? Surely no one's THAT fuckin dumb.

You'd be surprised. He may have also just stolen another one!!!

Have spoken to the cops, this guy and his group have stolen over 25 cars and bikes now. If it is them, it will be a different bike to the YZF stolen from Newmarket.

[L Rider]

He rode it some distance on the road after taking it yesterday - so not the brightest crayon in the box!
My guess if its the same guy/group this was probably the lastest bike they took today.
