stolen ducati...help required

[andyb]

Guys can you help.

I know its a bit vague, but please appreciate i need to be a bit subtle.

I am aware of a ducati key being recovered from what is called a sec 18 search of a house. This has got to relate to a stolen bike given the circumstances of the search.

So can you ask around known owners particularly in the Northamptonshire and surrounding areas, Milton keynes, Rugby, and so on.

I believe anywhere beyond this area will be unlikely.

Once ive seen the key i may be able to be a bit more specific.

Cheers

Have asked the grapevine, will let you know :ninja:

hope this works, nice approach, would like to see a reunited owner!

[TP]

Nice one Andy, being based in London I'm going to be no help but thanks for doing this.

Hopefully more will :)

and i thought active policing was dead !

Top effort and good luck.

Can you have look for mine as well while you're at it, Andy?:(

[andyb]

This is the key and fob. As you can see its an immobiliser type key which means the ducati is only 2-3 yrs old.

[andyb]

Now i know this key/fob combination is going to be fairly common, but if you know of anyone in the area as described above, who has a duke, may of been the victim of a burglary recently?

Clearly i dont believe the bike was taken at the time of the burglary....................

I don't think that's a chipped key. Looks the same as my 748 one.

The Ducati font indicates that it's a post 2000 bike though.

Could you get the key code from the cut of the key itself?

[antonye]

I think these ones are the chipped keys:

Are you thinking that the owner still has the bike and can't find his keys, or may be away and be unaware that the bike is missing?

Or can't you say?

[antonye]

I think thats it.

[twpd]

That's deffo not a chipped key. So it's not a 800ss/1000ss/749/999 key as far as I can see.

[YMFB]

Its exactlty the same type of key that came with my 2004 ST4, but as its the only Ducati key I have seen I dont know how many other models it fits.

[twpd]

Ahhhh...righto. I made the error of assuming all modern Ducatis since 2003 had the same type of chipped key.

[antonye]

deffo 2000 to 2003 or 4 then.

I guess it's another one of Ducati's "until it runs out" parts bins!

[Chaz]

That's older type key mate not imobilser.

[andyb]

ok older type key then, 2000 on....doh!

Yes i believe the owner may not know its gone, or thinks he has mislaid it maybe?

Ducati uk say the key cant be read or read/offer a number that can identify a bike........

Same key as I had for our 2000 monster 583 racer

Suit any Ducati that doesnt have immobiliser Andy

[andyb]
