Stolen! Help me find my motorcycle

On the night of 25/26th March some car theives took off with my motorcycle from Poronui Street in Mt Eden. I found the little spark plug on a string which they use to smash car windows so it wasn't an opportunistic drunk person.

I've scoured the neighbourhood so they must have taken it away in a van

Help me find my motorcycle!!!
1994 Honda Magna - Silver. Four holes drilled in each of the baffles make the exhaust sound loud and distinctive. It's done about 29,000km and I want her back!

If I find theses guys!!!......man,,,look out.

That sucks, hope it was insured...

In regards of the "If I find theses guys!!!......"

Not to burst your mates bubble, those thieves are likely hardened criminals... so not sure what is he planning to do if he by any chance finds them

So if he thinks that he can use some secret hipster ninja skills on them ...then tell him, dont!

Last thing you want is to get beaten or killed over a bike....

So just a happy ending to this story. My Honda Magna that was stolen in MARCH......is found!!

The police called me late last night after pulling over some young punks playing around in the backroads of hamilton. All the bikes split but the cops followed my bike back to an address where the guy admitted be purchased it for $200 knowing it was stolen from a guy in Auckland.

Anyways. Ive been in touch with the salvage company. A few hundred dollars of salvage fees later and a new years eve road trip to hamilton....and I get my bike back!

best christmas ever :-)

Great, glad you're getting your bike back!

**scumdog** · 31st December 2011, 10:21

Good stuff!

Any damage and how many more km on it?

Shows the Police are interested in this sort of thing and do keep their eyes out. Well done and I do hope it's okay! The Magna's are a great range of bikes!

I hope you get to add the cost of the salvage to any reparations that the courts order and I hope they pay it. Hope it all goes well for you.

It doesn't matter if the cops are interested or not if the courts lack the power to send and keep these people in jail for a long time.

Too true. It's high time these low-life's learnt consequences that mean something and the courts stop wasting Police time?

Hey, could the Police charge the court or judge with wasting Police time? Wotcha reckon Scummy?

Great news to start off the new year with!

On that note: I've just bought a Kymco Venox, a Taiwanese copy of this Honda 250 Magna [Kymco built this bike for Honda and then shipped it to Japan for badging]. It will be arriving in a few days...

So if they weren't doing anything ticketable would the cops have followed the bike home? Sounds like they didn't even run the plate until they had him at home bailed up.

With that thought I wonder if Katman stole his bike in the 80's and cops have never cottoned on.
