Bike thieves caught in the act...

[R6_kid:Me]

(long) story from R6-forums:

Wow guys it was an unreal night. So I go over to my buddies house to watch game 2 of the heat vs. mavricks last night and I drove over there because it was too chilly to ride.

So game is over and a bunch of us are just sitting around when out of the front window we see a shady looking van roll by really slow with its headlights off. I knew drive by's didn't happen in this neighboorhood so I ask everyone where there bikes are. My buddy just got a 2006 LE R1 and it was parked in the garage. We all go out back to throw some hot dogs on the grill and I go inside to go grab some pop out of the garage.

I open the door to the garage and there are 3 guys in the garage with the van pulled backed up to the garage. One guy is sitting on the bike with the keys in hand (my buddy leaves the keys on a key holder in the garage. And the other 2 are standing in front of the garage watching out. So I yell "Guys call the cops!"

I look at the guy on the bike, "Get the *uck outta here man 5-0 is on the way." Now i've got some muscle to me, 6'1" 190lbs and I've been fighting MMA for like a year but I dont feel like getting into a brawl with 3 criminals who more then likley have a gun or knife on them. The guy on the bike jumps off and starts to walk twords me. I went into survival mode. I don't even think and jack the guy in the face and knock him on his ass. His buddies come after me and one sticks me in the face really good.

My buddy comes out who's pretty big too after hearing all of this from inside and beats the shit outta the guy who sticks me. The other cat who was first on the bike gets back up and comes after me again. Now for those of you who dont know I had my bike stolen last summer so its a sensitve subject for me. Now that its pretty much 2 on 2 ( the other thief is knocked out) I decide I'm gonna make these *ssholes pay for everyone who has ever had their bike jacked. I stick the one dude bad in the face and grab him by the arm and wrap it up against my body. I take him down to the ground and roll over. Now i've got this dick in an all out armbar.

For those of you who dont know its an MMA subbmission hold that basically damn near breaks your arm. Yeah, it hurts. This dude is SCREAMING IN PAIN. All I could think about was the pain I felt having my *hit stolen so I pull harder. He's taping my arm and i'm almost laughing that this guy is trying to tap out haha. Finally I pull until his body can't take it anymore and I hear a snap. Broke that scum bags arm. It looked bad too I almost kinda felt bad for a splitsecond.

Just as the other 2 are getting ready to leave the cops come flying in the driveway. They arrest all 3 and make me and my boy get looked at by medics (I had a nasty black eye and a few cuts). The cops are taking the report down and the one asks me, "hey just curious, how did that guys arm get broken?" "ummmmm, he might have fallen I think in the struggle." "Oh, yea I guess his picked the wrong garage to fall in huh?" He was laughing about it. Well luckily the arrested the guys for criminal tresspassing, breaking and entering, and attempted grand theft auto. 2 of them had warrents for snatchin bikes in the city and I would guess will be gettin locked up.

There's gonna be a court date for all 3 that we are going to have to testify in. The worst part about this was my buddies bike was on a pitbull stand and somehow the bike came loose and got knocked over during all of this. Fell down and just has some comestic damage, broken mirror and a few scratches.

Luckily none of us got hurt. Cops said basically all my crap was self defense since they were in my buddies place but I'm just thankful none of us got hurt. Somehow someway they had some sort of electrical device that tripped his garage door opener and opend the door. He called a local security company and is going to have a survelience system installed next week.

Good on him!, I would have done the same except I probably would have taken him out the back to our slaughter house and chopped him up then thrown the bits to our pigs or put them in the offel pit. Noone would ever know

Filthy theiving scumbags should be dealt to!!!.

[Colapop]

THis was where? The States I assume? I'm sure it would have made the headliners had it been here.

Similar thing happened to me when I was 4 1/2. Some Yugo's moved into our street and tried to steal my 3 wheeler. I told them they better not or I'd tell my father and he'd beat them up (He actually lived overseas then). They didn't understand english and took it anyway. I cried and ran home.

The guy's a vindictive idiot and get's no respect from me. He had him surrendered but then went on deliberately broke the arm of someone stealing a bike?

He's as low as the thieving scumbag and deserves locking up too.

[onearmedbandit]

Brilliant. I'm sure everyone here (maybe except Sutage) would've done the same if they could.

Yeah, poor whiddle bikey theif got hurty by big bad man. I see your point. Not. Deserves everything they got, and more so.

[The_Dover]

Fuck it, it was a Yamaha.

He could have just got the insurance money and bought a gixxer.

You mean a lynch mob? Nope - I stand by what I said, popular or not

[onearmedbandit]

Insurance company would've recognised it as a scam. I mean, who would steal a Yammie Dover??

Thieves don't steal Gixxers. Too common, no resale.

Get what your say MDU, but I dont know how id react if it was me. There would have been alot of adrenaline going through everyone... I know when Im angry ive reacted in a way that I wouldnt have had I had a chance to breathe. To be honest I may have reacted the same if it was physically possible for me too...

Fair point.

Yeah, but just think about the market for parts.

[onearmedbandit]

You got family in the states that ride gixxers Dover?

Hell, did ya hear about the guy that made the mistake of stealing a fireblade, he fell asleep on it before he made it out of the street!
The cops could not believe their luck, they were reported as saying "any other brand bike and he would have got clean away"
The owner was furious and vowed he would find a much better thief to do the insurance job next time and then had to cancel his order for the other brand liter bike. Bloody sad, but some people never learn.
