Stolen!!! LF51???
« on: 12 November 2014, 07:39:56 am »
My 2002 silver Fox eye was stolen last night from shepton mallet Somerset. Please keep an look out.  Ta
Edit. Sorry for the rash post, I have found it thank foc! Some scroutes had broke the steering lock n wheeled it away, dunno if they tried to put it in a van but it was dropped on its side across a pavement. Maybe just kids unable to pick it back up?

Methinks it is time for a wheel lock and alarm.  :eek
Glad you got it back  :)

Do you have to keep the bike outside?-If so how about a chain & ground anchor. these "amateur" scrotes can still cause a lot of inconvenience/damage. Glad you got it back.

The sad thing is I do have a ground anchor and chain, that it's normally locked to. Unfortunately last night I didn't use it cos I left my keys at work n couldn't find the spare..... I sadly thought oh well it won't hurt for one night..... How wrong was I!!

I was thinking more along the lines of land mines, but apparently that's frowned upon!
Good to hear you've found it anyway.  :)

Sad you had the bike stolen ... lucky you got it back .... lots of guys never do  :'(

The way I read things ... a Spare Key is of no use whatsoever if you can't find it ... even less use if it is a home ... and you are miles away.

Carry the spare key(s) on a lanyard ... ideally along with your Blood Group and general contact 'in the event of' details on a dog tag.     Never ride the bike without it. Simples  8)

Stay Safe Y'all  ;)   Polar Bear.    Mallorca.

Is that incase you get hit by your own claymore fragments

I was  very lucky to find it so soon and to have no attempt at hot wiring. But I can't describe the gut wrenching feeling of opening the curtains and seeing my bike missing!!!
For me now security is as paramount as my protective gear,  ATGATT...... I will never think  it will be OK just this once again.
