motocat12 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Welp. Got up before 7 and saw it missing. Took off and found it in 5 minutes across a main road and around a corner on the kickstand between parked cars. Signals and headlight wires damaged. Filed a police report before touching it. Then trying to move it found they screwdrivered the ignition. I had assumed a guy dropped it then gave up. Then that they had a truck parked and failed at that. Now with the ignition I can't figure out what the mental rejects thought they were doing. Just got more expensive and over my deductible. I tried turning the ignition with a screwdriver with the chip key beside it and that didn't work either. Looks like i'm inop for a while. I admit I've been surprised I've had no issues before. I have a disc lock i had used regularly before this year and had started using last week but not last night. No cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sorry about your luck. This is exactly why I'll never store my bike outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I always assumed weekends were higher theft risk. Keys are only chipped to the dash. An aprilia guru in california can rekey an ignition to my current key. Sounds like the easy go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lots of dipshits out stealing bikes in Columbus right now, quite a few posts in the last few weeks on the local facebook groups about people having their bikes stolen. Park inside if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Continued jamming the key in harder and it fit in and started. The dust shield is still MIA and i'm not confident it won't rejam and strand me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
