Bike stolen (North Shore, 25 March 2008)

[Mully]

Bugger Dan.

Will keep my eyes peeled.

[LilSel]

Dude that really sucks!!! Will keep my eyes out too

Nah was hoping to get someone local. I guess i could try *555 and say he was speeding with no wof or reg. At least then they could setup a speed trap. But i have had a friend who had his bike stolen and parked just around the corner from the central station. 4 weeks the local plod walked past the bike, with the petrol cap ripped wide open.
It was the armed offenders that actually called in the plates - as they were raiding a local apartment.

if you are in a car and you see Dans bike then *555 will work as long as you say you are following the stolen bike and you are going to hurt that sucker real bad when he stops and actually sound offensive to the *555 operator. If they are thinking that public safety is in danger they will send out all available police officers ASAP and probably a rolling road block to catch the jerk but if you just say something like 'hey this guy on an internet forum has had his bike stolen and i am watching it ride past me' they will do almost nothing. the jerk who stole the bike needs a good beating no questions asked however the police are busy people and traffic offenses are i imagine low on their priority list. however if the cops think that justice is going to be served by someone other than themselves they will try and stop the guy quicker than you can say 'some assholes riding a stolen bike past me'

Hope she is found quickly.

I can only sympathise - currently in the same shitty situation myself and public transport in Auckland sucks.

Hope for your sake your insurance company is quicker than mine. My bike was taken 6 1/2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for them to pay out.

Will keep an eye out none the less - good luck in finding it.

[Gubb]

Good luck mate, will keep an eye out for it, hopefully it doesn't end up in Glenfield.

You have insurance?

thought you needed the correct license for insurance.

Bloody good on yer if you have though.

[riffer]

Not good news Dan. Will keep eyes peeled down here too.

[Deviant Esq]

Oh no

Condolances Dan, I hope it turns up again soon in unharmed condition.

[WickedOne]

I'll keep an eye out as well mate!!!

[PrincessBandit]

Although zeocen (and, I'm sure, gijoe1313) will keep their eyes open down our way, I will too. Hope all turns out well for you. The thought of having my girl stolen stops me from taking her heaps more places than i would otherwise. The fact that two-legged humanoid dog shit personages who steal bikes (or damage them just for their amusement) basically force me to use my car on occasions when I'd much rather take my bike really annoys me. Insurance or no, it still sucks. Keep us all informed!

[HungusMaximist]

Disco, let us know if the Uni boys/girls can help you out.

I'll keep an look out for it but I pretty surprised that your bike got taxed on the North Shore.

We've got a txt-to-bash system implemented since some idiot last year started nicking our bikes outta on Symonds St in day light.

[Japtwin]

asswipes! will keep eyes peeled cityside, quite distinctive so hears hoping.

[Madness]

I'm relocating to Auckland in a few weeks, and bringing my red ZX-11. I hope I don't get the bash, or dobbed into the plod once I get there, they'll do me for summin no doubt.

Starting to think the bike needs to be parked in the living room once I get there, it's only worth $5k.

Bad news Dan, time for a ZX12?!?
