Bike thieves

[Drunken Monkey]

Sort of like finders keepers?

Just like when people come around to your place when you aren't there and "find" your DVD player and your wifes jewelery.

Why not? While Sutage is at work pushing trolleys, why don't we all go around to his place and 'find' whatever takes our fancy. Need a T.V., perhaps a new couch or would you like to expand your CD collection? Don't worry, it's not stealing = we're not scum bags...

Well and truely burnt your bridges now Sutage. Even if this is a piss take, you still will have fucked off a lot of members here. LMFAO!

Bit of a warped view of the world there Sutage.

When you wake up to find your bike missing, I think you will have a different opinion.

not taking the piss at all
lets face if u dont lock it and someone wants it its gone, even if u do it can still be gone !!
its like leaving your wallet on the road.. if someone picks it up can u blame them?:P

Regardless of the fact that your viewpoint is totally fucked, and is a good example of why some people shouldn't take drugs, I don't see how you don't equate them being bike thieves with them being scum.

Thieves are scum, or expanded for your obviously drug fucked brain to understand; People who take other peoples property unlawfully are the dregs of society (or scum if you like).

People who unlawfully take other peoples motorcycles are the worst type of this scum (to a biker).

Basically, you're not entitled to your own opinion when it's totally retarded. And could you please let me know where your mum lives, I'm gonna go rape her when she goes to the shops. Because that won't make me scum, oh no, it's alright by you, she just happened to be on the street...

Sutage, you really are one of the most strangest, misguided arseholes to frequent KB. Infact, where do you live? Im sure some of us would love to "find" your personal belongings.

I find it interesting how a thread has changed (by staying on topic??) from being a simple "what's coming up on TV tonight" to where we are now.
Bike thieves are not very high on the evolutionary scale of things, but does anyone have any recent developments in, or suggestions for, security systems for bikes?

[onearmedbandit]

Ground anchors, disk locks, alarms, bike covers, big fucking dog, alarm system in your garage with a camera remote feeding to a website you can monitor, gps based alarm system on bike, parking it in highly visible places, never leaving it alone, stop buying 'cheap' bikes or parts off dodgey characters, etc, etc, etc.

GPS tracking is available. Might save your bike if it's not obvious, they don't strip it straight away, and the antenna can get a clear signal out from where it's stored. At a bare minimum, it should be able to show the route taken to wherever it ends up, so so long as they don't take it somewhere, disable the GPS, and then move it, you'll be ok. Having said that, you could make it fairly innocuous.

my ute was been attempted stolen twice in 6 months(September then January).
I've had 1 van stolen & also 1 motorcycle. 5 home burglaries, countless vehicle break ins etc.
everything was locked at the time. I lost count of the overall cost to me but it runs well into the tens of thousands of dollars & continues to cost me.
I strongly disagree with You Sutage, don't try to make allowances for this kind of behaviour.
I chased a stolen subaru yesterday hoping to attract the attention of some cops(no cellphone) but when they started speeding & running red lights i had to pull out. I woulda rammed them but i knew there'd be no insurance & i'd be in the shit. those assholes stole someone elses hard earned stuff then put others in danger trying to escape being caught. there is no need for these people.

this gps thingy which allows you to track the vehicle & recover it sounds great.

[imdying]

Only problem with the GPS is (from memory, I know Chch BMW were agents at one stage) the $1200-1500 install, plus I think monitoring (which you could also monitor from a webpage, plus unlock/lock/engine cut etc etc) started at about $50 a month. Still, very cool. I expect that they're still agents, always worth a look if you've spent good coin on your ride, you can move it to the next bike.

We have two stolen bike posters on our window at the moment...it suck!

[Beemer]

Yeah, what happened to the show? My husband made me watch it just for the bit on bike thieves and that was the ONE thing not on it!

Talk about teasing....

Dude youd have to get off the computer first do you do that?
i dont mean if you leave your bike its fair game i mean there aint no way 'cops are gonna crack down on bike theft' its impossible, people always gonna steal shit and bikes are a lot easier than cars especially if no locks/alarms etc are attached which i personally dont do, in fact ive never seen a locked up bike when ive been out and about
the chick i sold my old scooter to had her old one stolen and that was locked
we are an easy target ! all i was saying

Could be the link provided in your profile??

And seriously re-read your posts, because what you are saying you said is a fair way off the mark.

bike thieves arent scum

Do you really think a comment like that would go down well on a bike site, if so you're a fucking idiot.

lets face if u dont lock it and someone wants it its gone, even if u do it can still be gone !!
