Stolen R6 5 days old Just heard a very sad and annoying story from one of the lads at work. His brothers brand new R6 was stolen last night. I've been to his house and he lives in a very quiet village near Darlington. The house cannot be seen from the main road, and even if someone saw him drive into his street there are a dozen houses to choose from, so the thieves knew exactly where the bike was, locked away in his garage in a very private courtyard, impossible to see unless you are actually there. I don't have any details on registration etc, but all i'm saying is be very carefull no matter where you live. |
I live in Darlo. One of the hartside lads is a copper in Durham and he surprised me by saying that there had been a very large increase in bike theft locally of late. So, I guess I better start taking some extra precautions. |
I guess people are still not learning, like I keep it on saying: KEEP IT IN THE FECKING HOUSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! That will be another fully comp claim paid out in full, cant wait to renew next time... |

What an absolutely ridiculous statement - it must be nice on your planet. I hope we're not going to go down this road again ... :rolleyes: |

Sorry to hear that big fella, that sucks the big one! |
No we are not, I have already made my point, months ago, which was a valid one which the majority of contributers agreed with. 12 of us in our group, riding for 10 years, all keep our bikes in the house, non of use have ever had one taken... Draw your own conclusions Einstein. |

Yeah because everyone is capable of bringing their bike into their house aren't they ... :rolleyes: Anyone who lives in a flat that isn't on the ground floor clearly is not entitled to own a bike ... :rolleye: |

Fair comment and glad it works for you, but, not everyone is in the lucky position to be able to keep their bike in the house. So it's a little harsh to say that people keeping a bike in a locked garage will never learn. :) |

Good point there Andy. My garage is integral to the house and to comply with building regs it has fireproof structure i.e. ceiling. I believe the regs refer to 1hour fire resistance and building insurance would demand same because effectively your front room has become a garage. |
