My Triumph was Stolen last night: Stolen Motorbike

**the vet** · 17th December 2017, 11:36

Hi All, its been ages since I posted anything on the site. My moto tour of NZ which began as a visitor in 2008 evolved into an extended stay, a marriage to a Kiwi, and a permanent resident visa. A great story of my life.

Unfortunately I'm back again now with bad news. My maroon 1999 Triumph Trophy was stolen last night between 9 pm 16 Dec and 10 am 17 Dec. From Kumeu/Riverhead. The bike was a US import so the odometer records miles not kilometers---at had ~25,600 MILES on the odo. the plastic key ignition cover was torn off and left behind so I suspect it was hotwired and ridden away in spite of the steering lock. If anyone sees the bike in person or listed for sale, please notify me. current email is petemaguire8@gmail.com. I will try to attach photos. Cheers and thanks for any help! Pete

Not too far away from you, so will keep an eye out.

Hi Pete,

Very sorry to hear about the bike but great to hear that you're still around and belated congratulations on both marriage and residency. We're still in Coromandel if you're ever passing by!

Cheers,

Geoff

Thanks NZ police for arresting the thief and recovering my Triumph! It was recovered in Orewa when the officer thought the bike looked suspicious (a Triumph with Honda logos plastered onto it) and pulled the thief over for broken tail light. Apparently its in pretty good shape still!

Good to see some police actually doing the job they were employed to do.

I've said it before.
Get the Fuckers name and address, copy us all in and lets go party on their fucking head. Imagine the uproar, pissed off citizens stomp fucking crims head for stealing! Oh the irony.

good to hear, lucky a cop who new somthing didn't add up, now the cops may do all the work in getting the scum in front of the courts but the scum will be given a hand job by the judge and maybe a spanking and asked very nicely to please not do it again and the cops will be given shit for not doing their job by jo public
