smithyandco Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi Guys, I try not to ask for much but I am in need now My motorbike was stolen last night, Police have no clues beyond "we'll keep an eye out" so I'm pinning some hope on publicity. All I'm asking is 10 seconds of your time to share this album on Facebook (if you have it) http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...7304&type=1 And/or please share this album on Twitter/other social media sites http://imageshack.us/g/208/timelineum.jpg/ It's a Red/Black/Silver Yamaha YB100, registration G348 GHD Taken with alarmed lock still attached to frame and rear wheel. Pictures: http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3937/18402510150274320512305.jpg http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9453/28340810150274321282305.jpg It's not fully comp or theft insured as the excess was more than the bikes current value (effectively I was uninsured against theft regardless of cover level due to my age ). It was third party only. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganges Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Gutted for you mate, sounds like a pick up vehicle, took that, if the lock was still on it, I am in otley, border with north/west yorks, and will keep an eye out, while on my travels, hope it turns up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidrick Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Unlucky mate. People are utter scum. Keep an eye on gumtree over the next few weeks (just search from the UK homepage to search all gumtree sites rather than just your local one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Gutted for you,know how your feeling had a couple of bikes pinched in the 80s luckily got them back more or less in one piece. I would be tempted to check the scrap metal merchants probably more value in it for that than any thing else, good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) It's been found! Had a drive around last night just to see if it had been ditched anywhere... Found it parked up about half a mile away. The lock was still connected, although someone has been at it with a hacksaw. Looks like they carried it down the road then tried to remove the lock to push it away but gave up (Possibly to pick it up with a van/pickup later perhaps?). Phoned the Police first who came straight away and knocked on some doors but no one had seen anyone move it there... "It just appeared..." They told me to park it somewhere secure but do not handle it with anything other than gloves as scenes of crime want to have a look. It's now locked out of sight in a friends garage until the police get chance to look. I can't believe how lucky I am to get it back! Next purchases... Metal Shed, ground anchor and a new lock! Many, many thanks to everyone who helped by sharing the picture links Edited May 9, 2012 by smithyandco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
