Struggling family done over by crooks

**Jonny Rotten** · 20th February 2007, 19:25

today at work our office lady was running very late so i gave her a call to make sure everything was sweet.

she then told me that four weeks ago they had brought off trade me a KTM85cc big wheel for there son who loves motorbikes more than anything in the world....they couldnt really afford to buy the bike but took out a loan to do so because they want there son to progress and make something of himself while doin something he loves doin.

when they picked up the bike it was a running rough and had stuffed plastics on it so in went a new piston kit and plastics at another 600 bucks on top of the 3500 bucks already spent....

then this morning the police turned up on there door step with a search warrent.....turns out the bike was stolen from cambridge a few weeks before this family had brought it of trade me....so on the back of the truck it went back to the owner who it was stolen off.

now im sure the kid who had his bike stolen in the first place was real upset and pissed off....and im glad he got it back...

to the guy who stole it and sold it to this family FUCK YOU!!!! I HOPE THE COPS GET YOU YA PEICE OF SHIT!!!!! AND I HOPE YA GET FUCKED UP THE ARSE IN JAIL!!! you have left a strugling family 4 grand out of pocket and a kid with no bike cause the one he had was sold to cover some of the cost of the new one....

Mate I am very sorry to hear that

Why do we do this sort of stuff to each other.

I know that we do need to be careful when we buy stuff, but that story really sounds like it hurts

yeah poor kid just got his race licence for the inter school motor cross....now he has no bike to race...im just hopping they catch the guy and that the family that had the bike stolen in the first place pay this family for the plastics and piston kit they have put on the bike...they would have needed to do it to the bike anyway.

if this bike was stolen of anyone on KB PM me if you would like the phone number of this family and would like to speak to them

Hey post the trademe ad will ya... we might keep an eye out for the lowlife involved (it WAS the trademe person wasn't it, or did they simply receive it... possibly in innocence?)

That really sucks.

I take it they didn't bother with the VIN report for around $30 and available online?

Actually I feel more inclined to donate $10 to this family than the bloody HRC, so where is III?

hopefully the family it was stolen from have claimed insurance,then the kind insurance company could GIVEit back to the new owner,hand off dick they won't do that too simple,as an aside i think there should be some way of making a cheap i.e $10 to register all bikes off road e.g motox or farm that don't get ridden on the road,when sold you can check the numbers of frame and/or engine,then if no numbers it's dodgy.wife worked for funeral directors in dorkland a while ago and the fucken lowlfe pricks who could read were stealing from the bereaved house as they new family would be away for most of day,they would get the address from the funeral notice which might say all messages to ...address,and check in phone book or electoral role where dead person lived,one island family were done 3 days before xmas stole everything under the tree,the bloody food for afterwards,all drink,and the food from pantry,shows how caring some folks are .
