hi all..

just alittle heads up - for all you brighton lot..
my bike was nicked from outside my house tuesday night - police luckily caught them as they drove off - with my bike in the back of the van.. nicked the two blokes..

hopefully not too much damage - steering lock broke - ingnition barelled - panels probs scraped. .. getting it back once scene of crime police have done there stuff..

just wanted to warn others...

thanks nick
 
Hard luck bud Hope you dont have to much work to put right , Barstewards need flogging then a good hiding.
 
Sh*t nick! sorry to hear that mate. At least they caught the f**kers! about the only way they ever get caught is if the cops actually catch em with it!

Guess that means your not coming out with me and spred this sunday? :/
 
be careful on storage costs, the cops use (or used) lantern recovery services to hold your bike - my Dayto was kicked outside my place in london a fair few years back and they managed to recover it a week later.
They notified me same day and told me they weren't going to fingerprint it (they didn't catch the scrotes) so said I wanted it back that day - cop said go to lantern in acton and pick it up, when I got there they wouldn't release it saying the cops needed to fingerprint I said no they weren't going to so guy wasn't wouldn't have it - eventually I got hold of ealing police and handed the phone over. He then agree's and charges me ....................................... 150 f%&*kin quid ........... and that was same day as recieved .................. f*&^kin sharks.

I have since heard (through a mate who worked for lantern) that if you have nice bits and they like them they'll take em and tell ya it wasn't on the bike when they recovered it, as well as draining your tank for a bit o extra fuel for themslves.

glad they caught the twats, hope they're both ***** daily whilst in custody :thumbup
 
thanks all.. headaches - but yeah im hoping they dont charge me as its the police who want to retain it.. ill kick up a right fuss if they do wanna charge.. hoping to get it back on monday so - near on 6 days in storage.. im hoping my insurers will pick it up ..

This happened to friends moped. By the time he could get there to collect it, they wanted him to pay more than it was worth it get it back. Its a f**king disgrace.
 
pita mate hope you get it sorted :thumbup

the insurance company will make it as difficult as they can i can assure you as their rather good at that:confused:confused
 
update..

hi all..

my rsv was written off by insurers.. only damage - broken steering lock.. absolute joke.. its been at least two weeks and no news from them - no offers - no replacement bikes - no nothing.. i feel like ive been robbed (legally) ..

nick
 
Cant you offer to buy the bike back cheap? there are ways to turn these situations in your favour I believe...
