    Yeah, I think that just about everyone on here has had some sort of experience with bike theft. This is an epidemic and for the life of me I can't figure where all these bikes are going.
    Having had a bike knicked recently we know how it feels. We have identified the signs of a theft about to occur. In fact we know that the pricks that hit us last time are back and snooping around waiting for the bike to be replaced and back into its container. Creatures of habbit, but the trap is being laid.


    We record all number plates now and match every name to them (yes it costs). We even collect number plates from the beach, purely for our own records so that when the next attempt occurs we have some evidence for the cops, because they sure as hell won't do fuck all to help.

    Andy, please send some identifiable pics through to our email and we will display them at the sign on office. If we can help in any way let us know.

    Big warning to all. Check who follows you home!!

    Can't beleive it got home from work at 1800 today ( Wednesday) and opened up the garage door to find all our bikes gone
    Just curious, were there no signs of forced entry? How did they get into the garage? Surely you can pinpoint when they were taken or was the garage not locked?

    Security can be a pain but its worth doing. I check for cars following as I near home, the front gate is always locked (I unlock it only when expecting someone) the garage is always locked if I'm not out there, its alarmed, and there is also an alarm that goes off when someone comes up the drive. You can't be too careful. I do have bike locks too but I'm going to invest in some new ones and use them more often.

    The phone often rings only to have the caller hang up. I believe its the thieving scum. Fortunatly I'm here most of the time and have good neighbours.

    I have a customer now a friend who is in the security business. He alarmed my garage and work shop with both motion and trip sensors. He also set me up with the driveway alarm. You might see his Optimum Security Hilux truck at some rides.

    Call Paul from Optimum Security Systems and support his riding habit.
    Phone 09 828 0608 or 021 482 664. Tell him Greg sent you.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    Mate i feel for ya, i had a mates bike stolen off my front yard last year.
    I felt real bad cos they only took his and left mine, on the bright side his was insured and mine wasnt so that was really lucky.
    Hope they were insured mate.
    It must have been someone that knew they were all in there and knew you were away.
    Bring on the weekend

    Stealing on any scale is low. But to steal children's pleasure from them is the lowest form of scum.
    Good luck with the recovery.

    Bummer Andy!!!
    The thieves love Howick. Its close to their patch, we've got stuff they don't and the Asians keep lots of cash around. I'd hate for the Z1R to get stolen so am a bit paranoid about burglars. You can't go down the local bike shop and get another of those. Always keep mine chained together, its a pain when you want to get them out or work on them but trying not to make it easy for the scum.
    Would they be covered under house and contents seeing as how they where at home and they are not road registered?? You must have been followed home unless some local asshole has your number!

    Bummer mate I feel for ya!

    mate that's horrible news. The worse thing is as well is that its not just one person's pride and joy but 5 peoples. Poor kids as well as dad. Hope you've got insurance and they're not assholes about paying out.

    Will keep an eye out on trademe etc. What year is the 250x?

    I have never met you in my life but you have my sympathies in this awful time.

    Makes you wonder how such cruel spineless cretins sleep in their beds at night. Taking kids bikes? Evil bastards

    Hope you get them back and I hope they get their comeuppance.

    Sorry to hear....We got 3 bikes ripped from our locked garage too...I went to the paper...they took some photos and put an article in the paper...People talk... I received several phone calls and got 2 bikes back after a while...admittedly one had been crashed, but still better than nothing. With the publicity the bikes got too hot to handle for the dirt bags...good luck

    we had shit heads checking things out here at Gulf Harbour for the last couple of weeks.

    They were driving 4x4 trucks. I saw them out at sandpit last time I was there (last week). they drove in with no bikes, had a siggy, I was having a break from riding. when i came back 20min later, they were gone.

    I saw them driving past my house 4 times the next day.... And its here at Gulf Harbour!!!!!

    I personally think investing $200 for a titanium bike chain, sold at bike shops, is a great idea. I'm getting one of them and will actually try to "break in"... Will use my grinder to try to cut up the chains... I'm sure they will be stronger that shit they sell at bunnings per meter, but just how strong????

    If we can all keep an eye on cars and license plates, and share them here, we might reduce and maybe catch these scam-bags!!!
