ok - just viewed the security camera footage.

the van (and i saw the fucking thing drive out with my bike in it) is a red or orange ford econovan or similar - quite modern.
the plates are either
QY4708
or
RY4708

can anyone help here?

Sorry for your loss. Hope it doesn't get ridden through a brick wall like the last stolen bike on this site.

Open to correction on this but if I understand correctly there was no "Q" series numberplates...

Anyone able to confuirm name rank and serial number of the van in question?

**Badcat** · 2nd April 2008, 15:54

just spoke to the cop shop.
RY4708 is the number - red econovan - also stolen so a dead end UNLESS someone knows the whereabouts of that van.
anyone seen it?
has tints, and some small stickers (couldn't make them out) on the windows and rear.
theft happened 5am-5.10am this morning.
man - i got pretty wild seeing that van leave on camera with my bike in the back.

Pumped with adrenalin while pinching a top bike? Piece of piss... Two can do in record time.

That is the dude??? Should be instantly recognisable to any Gang Liaison Officer at Auckland Central...

prob the same assholes whom got distrubed stealing my bike... luckily they took off... albeit close to a grands worth of damage to my bike from them 'picking it up' & carrying it over the cars in the drive to where they were about to load it onto the trailer... grrrrrrrrr

Hope they catch the bastards!!... It sucks... !!!

**LilSel** · 2nd April 2008, 17:21

Seriously... what about a stake out one night?? I'd be in... have large cable ties at work to zip around hands and feet... citizens arrest... then wait for the plod to arrive...

**barty5** · 2nd April 2008, 17:22

If it is the same guy he is well known to police hi MO is high perfromace bikes cars and boats personally i think it should be a high perfromance fist to the head followed by a high performance boot also to the head area.

It's pretty ridiculous how all these theiving cunts are popping up in Auckland.

I will keep a look out but being stolen, it's highly unlikely they're gonna ride it around considering it's got a chipped ignition.

Trust me, you can never be too careful with your bike, insure it, wire/chain lock it, disc lock it, add an alarm and ground anchor it if it needs to.

Last year I remember some guy got his nice Harley taxed, and it was like a similar scenario where's its locked up in a apartment garage. What he found that it was most likely an inside job, so keep your eyes peeled on those gatekeeper/security chumps.

Like I say everytime in these posts, our uni motorcycle club has a txt-to-bash scheme set-up last year to combat those opportunists. Just let us know, we'll be in to give them a bash.

condolences mate, that really sucks, theiving scum. Yep would like to know more about the van, make, year, size then we can all keep an eye out. Way to much of this shit happening.
