6 - Stolen Motorcycles - 11-9-09

[checkcrew]

hi guys,

i am trying to come to grips with myself and my sanity !!

Came home Monday evening to find the latches cut off 2 of my garages, 6 bikes stolen and my enclosed trailer cleaned out !!

i have not slept or eaten in days, this is so emotionally crushing that words are hard to find, i work so hard to get the things i love for myself and my Son and to have some "dirt bags" with no respect for others take it away!!

i am sure the emotional pain will pass but the scar will always be there, i will try and regroup but a $22K loss is a hard one to swallow !!

this is a list and pics of the bike stolen:

2007 KTM 250SXF
2006 KTM 450XC
2001 KTM 400EXC
1998 GasGas EC250
2002 Kawasaki KLX110
1977 CanAm 175

anyone that might spot something please contact me,
856-627-7728
856-924-1738 cell
609-970-6457 Mike Jr's cell

thank you,

Mike I am so sorry for your loss, If you are like me, you feel violated. I really doubt that I would ever come accross any of your stuff, I am just too far away, but I can pray and I will... If you ever have need of a bike and are headed this way, any of my bikes are at your desposial. take care

Praying for you right now.  It is like being "raped', you have been violated.  I and others out here are keeping an eye out...sometimes they end up on the other coast.

Hang in there..[V]....Victor

Mike,  Sorry to hear about your stolen motorcycles.   I know how it feels to have one stolen; can't image what it feels like to have SIX gone.  Fortunately, with some leads, I found mine at the bottom of the Black River (engine blown).  One hand grip was sticking out.   Keep your ears open, ask around, call motorcycle shops, get the word out.  joe

Mike,

Racer X (http://www.racerxonline.com/) is good at posting information about stolen bikes on their website. The email address is //[email protected]

If you have the VIN numbers that they can post too, that might help.

Mike,

Sorry for the loss, a similar thing happened to my older brother a couple of years back.  Some dirtbags took both his four wheelers from his garage.  He was forurunate, as the State Police found them about 6 months after they were stolen...along with dozens of other bikes.  You may have already done this but if you have not you should list them on the stolen bike registry. http://www.stolenmotorcycleregistry.com/ Hopefully somthing will turn up.

So very sorry to hear of this, and people wonder why I have a DVR hidden with cameras all over my shop, house and property recording 7 days a week.

I would post this at the Bettencourt auctions both at the shop and bike collection site.  Contact J Woods to post fliers as probably the thief/s are still looking.

My heart goes out to you friend[V]

I doubt they would ever get down here to Florida, but I'll keep and eye out for them anyway Mike. Nice Can-Am by the way.

I will keep an eye out... a couple of years ago, a friend of mine had his Maico's stolen from him. He had come home from a race and parked his cargo trailer behind a locked gate. the trailer was locked too. and they made off with the whole trailer. they found most everything but it was in really bad shape. blown motors etc. the guys that stole the stuff could care less about selling it, they were looking to trash stuff. I quess they have no idea how important these bikes mean to us... I pray for a speedy recovery, that the bikes are returned with little or no damage and that your serenity is returned...

Did you file a report and if you did, were the motorcycles entered into the TCIC/NCIC system?(The law enforcement tracking system for stolen items, missing persons, etc)

Mikey,After our talk the other day i'm definitely beefing up security around my place.And i'd just moved almost all my bikes out of the garage so i could park my new truck inside.Oh well back to the drawing board.Wonder if my nextdoor neighbors would mind razor wire atop the wall?I hope the scumbags get what they deserve[B)],and you get your stuff back soon.Take care Brother,

Mike Sr and Junior,

   In no way can I even begin to grasp how bad you guys must be hurting at this time, what a truly horrible experience for you to have to endure. As I look at the pictures of the bikes it is obvious that you had selected some very fine machines for your stable.  Hopefully this situation will take a turn for the better, possibly with the finding of your machines, or possibly with the two of you becoming even closer as you help each other thru this difficult time.

Post the GasGas on GasGasrider.org
Not many '98 models, especially that well kept.
GasGas owners are a close knit group.
