Who's caught a person attempting to steal your bike?

[woodyracer]

Hae, i thought id bring this up because a few months back i caught a guy walking down my drive way towards the gararge, he obviously thought we were'nt home becasue there were no cars in the drive way. Me and my dad caught him moving in on the garage. We asked him what he was doing and he thought for a minute and then made a bullshit story up about needing a lift to taranaki {we live in auckland by the way..lol} We didnt believe him for a second and told him to piss off. I then followed him as he walked back up my street {without him knowing} and he stopped next to a bush, looked around to make sure nobody was looking and then he pulled out of the bush a crappy old bike and a packpack of tools {hacksaws, screwdrivers ect}he got on his bike and biked off. I then still followed him and he saw me and biked off fast into an alley way and disapeared.

Then today a suspicous fella parked in my drive way and starring at the bikes in my gararge as i was ceaning them, he stayed there for about 5 minutes.....i then walked towards him to ask him what he was doing and he reversed out quick and zoomed off......

There a a few bikes in the gararge, Suzuki M109R, KAWASAKI krr150, and a HONDA CBR125R......so its worrying to see people wanting to steal them.

Has you guys ever caught a burgular trying to steal your bike or bikes??

Got a camera - if you see anyone again, get a photo. Also wander down to the local cop shop and have a chat to someone - get something on record if possible.

You don't tell people if you caught someone trying to steal your bike(s).

Just just put the bits into compost bin and leave it at that.

Have a camera handy and just start taking photos of them. Phone with a camera is real handy. If things start going missing you then have some evidence for the plod.

Many years ago a familiar lookin XR200 was heading along Titahi Bay causeway as me and the boss were heading for lunch...whattaya know it was MY XR200 that I had left at home that day, so I thought

Followed the muppet to his house where he kindly parked the stolen bike in the garage, 3 seconds before we grabbed him....pre cellphone days that was, good thing my old boss was a big aggro bastard

yup got a camera, i forgot to mention my sister caught a guy trying to open my garage at the start of the year, she called the cops, and they picked him up trying to rob another house {because my garage has a secret locking system and he was too stupid to get in}

You'd better make the effort to lock up the bikes. get rego of the car and photo the driver if you can. I've alway made it a point to take pictures of strange folk who are on my property without a valid reason and I dont care if they know I take the photos or not... pretend if you have to and use your cell phone as a camera, then report this to your they cant help if they dont know anything

Yep. To quote Vincent Vega "it'd be worth them doin it for me to catch them in the act"

Time to get a Rottie.

Yep.

And surely you took down the rego and looked it up on carjam? (I mean reported it to the plod)

the bikes all have a disk lock each and a 1 inch thick cable wire locking up the back wheel, but that dosnt stop some people....

Im going to start being a suspicous person photographer.....

It sounds like your place is being scoped out.

I would take urgent action to secure your bikes for a likely upcoming burgarly. Make sure you secure them so they can't just be lifted onto a truck.
If you use a "chain" get that stranded wire stuff that bolt cutters can't cut (they use it for securing computers as well). And make sure it isn't attached to something that can be easily smashed off.

Go talk to your neighbours as well, and ask them to keep an eye out. Give them your phone numbers.
