Kmanlyst Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 So it seems someone wanted my bikes and broke into my storage unit to get them...Glad the 250 had Lojack installed and was located/recovered a few hours ago, the Honda and my dad's Vstrom however are still missing and we will more than likely never see them again but mine is insured for theft so looking on the positive side I can replace it my dad is more than a little pissed seeing as he just got the 2013 model and setup the way he liked at least he still has this 2012 Vstrom. Why the hell do people take shit from others they cannot afford, it really just pisses me off to no end, I bust my ass to have my toys...I think it is time to look at a Metal Storm perimeter defense system for my bikes.

C-bus Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Was the recovered bike dumped or was there a person with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Does the storage company have an insurance package on your unit? If so have them pay up. You paid them to safely secure your valuables. They failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmanlyst Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The storage company does have insurance i was unable to get a hold of them this late calling tomorrow, they found my 250 in the bed of a pickup heading to Marysville and charges have been filed against the driver. Not sure if he was responsible for the theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmanlyst Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Can't imagine a legit buyer being able to seal the deal that quickly.Agreed. I think he has something to do with it and I hope he flips on every person involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmanlyst Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I didn't want to put the bikes in a unit because of this fear but my dad is selling his house to move to Columbus to be closer to his grand kids and so we can ride more this up coming season and I don't have a garage yet but am on the wait list for one in my complex. should have just parked the damn things in my living room and put up with the bitching from my wife.

Rctaylor Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The NC700x is a relatively rare bike here in the states..Good luck scrapping that one for parts on craigslist.. a waste of their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmanlyst Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 worst part is all the stuff I have to replace like my front and rear stand, all my tools, I am still in a stage of shock but it seems to be slowly building to rage.

Scruit Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Glad you got it back. Maybe the pickup driver can help lead the police to the other bikes.I set up a GPS tracking system for my vehicles using Meitrack VT310 trackers ($100 each), free software (OpenGTS) and GPRS Cellular service through Consumer Cellular that costs me about $12 per vehicle per month. The biggest difference between this and Lojack/OnStar is that *I* own the website and the tracking data so nobody else has access to it, but I can direct police towards a stolen vehicle. It also has the ability to operate up to 6 relays (horn, lights, unlock doors, cut engine etc) but I've yet to wire that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hope the thieves involved literally get ripped a new asshole in jail! Good call on the LoJack, you at least have one bike back and a good lead. As said above, hope rats all his buddies out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to get with you after this whole thing is finished on how to set that up. I like Lojack I had it installed at the dealer when i bought the 250, was going to have it installed on the Honda after taxes came in.

I like Lojack I had it installed at the dealer when i bought the 250, was going to have it installed on the Honda after taxes came in.I'm also toying with the idea of being able to remotely trigger the airbags. That would be very easy (expensive to test, though) and I probably won't go to jail for it. Actually, I probably would. Shit.Anyway, the trackers are very accurate, the software gives me a minute-by-minute location (although I'm looking to dial that back to 10 minute intervals to allow me to switch to cheaper data plan - I can set it back to 1 minute intervals in a fews seconds with a single sms message. I can activate the output relays with an SMS message. I'm looking to write a simple webpage that would allow me to click on buttons to sens SMS messages for things like "set lowest possible tracking interval" and "Activate hazard lights and 4ways" in the event of theft. Even as simple as having a relay that can deactivate all forward lighting so that if stolen at night the car would be almost impossible to drive outside of a city.The red placemarker is about 10' off from the actual physical location of the vehicle being tracked. The have been extremely reliable, no problems at all. The worst bit is you have to install the software on a computer at your house that is always on. You can use OpenGTS or GPSGate.

snot Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sorry to hear, glad you did recover the 250. You may want to check to see if any dealers also store bikes for the winter. Grover HD in piqua does, but thats a little far for you.Was there any damage to the 250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Damn how I hate thieves, wish the cops could've called you out to where they had the perp stopped so you could have had 5 minutes alone with the guy to "discuss" things. Glad the Ninja is back but sucks to lose any posessions to lesser beings that claim to be human. Like other's have said, hope he rolls over on everyone involved and they all end up in federal-pound-me-in-the-ass-prison until they've rectally bled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fat2fly Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hit up Ebay and your local flea market this weekend and look for your other garage items. Years ago one of my best friends had everything in his garage stolen while he was on vacation. 3 or 4 months later his tools with his name engraved on them started showing up at a local flea market for sale.
