**LilSel** · 6th October 2007, 11:02

ok... details of car...

late model 2002ish Dark blue holden or ford ute, had hard top over tray. two guys mid 30's-ish, couldnt tell ethnicity, was too dark. one had short hair, other guy was driving. towing a silver cage trailer with a wheelbarrow encrusted with concrete in it. presumably a work trailer

The way my bike was parked suggests they have bikes/own/steal/ride bikes...

Edit: know they steal them obviously, but they must ride something...

someone must know these guys... reward for info?!... lol... PM me if have any!..

Flatmate will recognize if see's car/trailer again... asked her to get rego if see's it around etc... will post it up if we get it...

If you see this car... towing that trailer... please get the rego... please post it up!... I want to pay them a visit

Errm, but she wasn't riding it. Your bike was parked at her house - quite legal - when it was stolen.

Do you have theft cover? Wouldn't hurt to see if it is covered.

Why does it take something like this for all you peeps to realize that locking the bike is a must. It may only slow them down or force them to make more noise. But it's a start. Also keep the bike out of sight.

I dont... I was to get warrant today (expired yesterday) cant now, & get forms resent for insurance as I had them sent out not so long ago but never sent them back as I went overseas just after I got them n I also dont know where the vin/engine/chassis numbers etc are...

So yes it is my own fault I am not covered...

the amount it is going to cost to fix is less than the excess would be... so doesnt really matter... I had been hassling fb to get licence so when I get new forms she can be a named rider of my bike. I did not see any point in doing it before hand as I am not riding it n it at the mo... stupid I know... *Shakes head*... learnt my lesson now obviously!!

I still pissed off that people steal things that are not theirs... thats the lowest of the low... I work hard to earn my money n have never stolen a thing in my life... yet others just trott around stealing peoples possesions?!?... no fkn morals..!!

going to pickup bike in about ten mins, just got home in my car. Calling insurance place shortly

to get new forms & mum has said we'll take bike to mechanics on monday & get him to find the numbers etc as fairings n stuff prob need to come off to locate them?!... & he will write the digits down for me n also take off the broken front part so can get new one on asap.

**fireball** · 6th October 2007, 12:05

this is the only damage
not points where screen mounts to fairing..... all broken

**deanohit** · 6th October 2007, 12:08

No-one was riding it so licence doesn't matter, even if your the owner and you don't have one. As it's on private property not the road it shouldn't even need WOF and Rego. Your insurance is paid up for theft? and someone tried to steal it and broke it? insurance'd up dood.

edit... So you don't have insurance. Harsh, make it into a streetfighter! Don't buy more bits, sell some you don't need now and get some engine work done.
