Helmet & jacket is not easy to hide quickly, they could have put into their car at servo - worth reviewing their footage, don't forget to ring the cops

Where did the theft happen? Tried getting hold of the video surveillance footage?

**GSXR Trace** · 3rd May 2009, 20:59

It happened at Shell westgate

Thanks for suggestion guys but tried getting footage for any link but they said not much chance of it getting on it.. and id say they stopped by it as they were driving out and picked it up.. so wouldn't be on camera anyway.

I rung cops immediately, but they pretty much said would be nothing they could do since i saw nothing, and i had asked around and no one else saw anything and no camera footage... but will got to station tomorrow to make statement.

Yeah so i may be out of commission for a few months till I can get together enough cash to get some new gear... but will use my old gears in the mean time (that hopefully mum and dad can bring up from the naki this weekend)

My helmet had a fair few white scratches on it.. but the visor on left side where pull it forward to let air in has road scuff... but obviously its a fairly non-distinct helmet.. but its an expensive one, so hopefully they will try sell it real cheap and can find it cause they don't know what they are talking about

So it is a flip face model?

best of luck tracking them down. maybe save them as a favourite search on tardme, then you can get daily emails of new listings,

Damn that blows.

I always leave my helmet on the seat whenever I go in to pay for petrol. I'm learning from this, helmet goes inside with me from now on.

So does mine, cause it's on my head!

Best of luck Trac and it'd be nice to think the pricks will be caught. Perhaps not with yours, but maybe the next thing they flog.

Man, that really stinks! Cruddy thieves leaving you stranded; I really hate the scum who steal other people's belongings.

I have often wondered whether I was being silly because I always take my helmet with me, and I see many people leave them with their bikes, when stopped for coffee or whatever. After reading what happened to you, Trace, I will carry on keeping my gear close to me.

Best of luck for getting your stuff back ASAP.
