    Sorry to hear and best of luck getting it back.

    That is one absolutely beautiful machine you deserve a DB for keeping it so mint. The thieving bastards should be hung drawn and quartered.

    The van was pulled over by Police this morning after a Norton enthusiast that saw the facebook post saw it being driven & followed it while directing Police to his location
    The driver is currently being interviewed by Police, but at this stage no bike.

    Yeah, nah! Unfortunately, these cunts know exactly what lies to tell to avoid charges and ongoing investigation. Hopefully this guy is a noob and lets it slip...

    The van has stolen plates, what is the bet the van is stolen too? No doubt the cops have impounded at least in the interim...

    FFS whats it coming to when the vermin just drive around with stolen plates in broad daylight stealing shit. Then know they were probably seen etc and didnt bother covering their tracks.. Has it really got this bad? Do they not care if they get caught or know that they are unlikely to get caught? FFS this pissed me off...

    Im hoping for a good result. Mike is a decent bloke & a huge Norton enthusiast.
    I sold him mine (not this one) recently & it couldn't have gone to a better home.

    Said vermin is often too lazy to steal a matching pair too. Heard of one awhile ago that did a petrol driveoff then stopped just up the road for KFC... caught greasy handed lol....
    You think that would be crime school 101, rapidly leave the immediate crime scene area...

    I'm in a quiet street now but used to have lots of suspect looking things pull up outside, damn that cellphone law giving people a plausible excuse for loitering.
    Anyway if it didn't flag as stolen i'd always check on carjam that plate matches vehicle model.

    Great news. The bike was recovered from a central Tauranga house earlier today & is at the Tauranga Police Station to be picked up by the owner this afternoon.

    Awesome stuff...

    What a buncha twats thinking they could steal a bike like that unless they had some serious way of getting it overseas or something...

    99% of Norton people in NZ would recognise it or the bits...

    Really pleased to read that, I hope the arseholes didn't damage it.
