Stolen 2008 Ducati 848

[Halds]

My red Ducati 848 was stolen on friday night on haining st in wellington. it was in the open car park just behind my apartment building on taranaki st. The location where this was stolen from is less than 100metres from where the triumph in other post was stolen from. My bike only has been parked in this location 4 times for generally only overnight as i have a locked up car park further down taranaki st. This happened between 12-7am on friday night/sat morning. make me think it one of my neighbours

whole bike has been transferred into a 1098 frame

Has it got a hidden kill switch anywhere, or is it just hard to start?

[Halds]

you'd never get it started without the keys. as has transponder key.

my apartment is only 20metres from where it was parked. with the exhaust on it i would've heard it start so think it would've gone on back of ute or in a van.

Shit - really feel for you mate. will keep eyes peeled, but suspect it wont be round these parts for long.

[Halds]

the aftermarket parts are all very rare. most imported for italy so doubt anyone else would have these

[BALZYBUELL]

bloody wankers,note to self dont park in that car park,heres a dumb question,it wasnt towed was it

[willytheekid]

So sorry for your loss Halds, from the list of parts it clear you had spent alot on this bike...just for some theiving peice of shit to take.
Truly hope you get it back.

ANOTHER! bike taken from wellington...has some prick has setup an operation in the area?

...bout time someone set a trap for these bastards!

[Halds]

i called all the towers. it was parked next to a ninja which was still there in the morning

[Halds]

yeah makes me think something is going on with the triumph stolen only 100metres around the corner. And when my bike is usually always locked up in another carpark on taranaki st which is swipe access. I came home friday night and parked up behind my apartment building cnr taranaki st and haining st as had been out to see damon at cycle works to get exhaust redone and want to go for ride in the morning so didn't put it in garage. The place it was parked, its only been there 4/5 times so makes me think its a neighbour been watching out for it to turn up again

Why does nobody invest a couple of hundred in a GPS tracking box?

A cheap method of tracking...a smart phone hardwired and sealed on the bike (hidden), with tracking software installed.
You just jump onto a website, tell it the phones been stolen and the software turns th phone and its GPS on, then tells you its location.
Available for i-phone, android and MS smart phones....and there are various free services on offer (I use Lookout on mine )

What I suggested is the same thing but probably cheaper. What does a smartphone cost these days?

[willytheekid]

...What does a smartphone cost these days?

you'd get change from $50...or free with some plans, plus you can use it as a MP3 player etc and back up phone.(depending on location of device)
But yeah, fully agree mate, GPS is def the way to go ay...just have to hide the chosen unit well!

Yea but how often do you have to charge smartphones these days, especially with GPS etc... turned on with apps running in the background. Good idea mind you.
