Just witnessed A Bike Theft - GS1200 Berkeley Sq - HN16 ***
Discussion
Just walked out of my office and saw a bloke pulling a red/silver GS1200 out of the bay with another bloke sat on 1 of the large scooters wearing a balaclava under his helmet, they didnt have the bike started & the guy on the scooter pushed the GS along with his hand on the rear box round into Mount Street, I hobbled as quick as I could (broken bone in my foot) to see where they were heading as it couldnt be far but they had dissapeared - called the police asap to give them the details and they are on their way.
Guy who made off on the GS had a white Arai with black japanese writing on (Hayaubusa style writing) - no plate on the scooter being used.
Didnt see all of the plate on the GS but pretty sure it started as HN16 - no broken lock or chain on the floor where it was parked if it had one on.

Can't understand why disc locks are not used more.
Bike can't be pushed along anywhere then, by these "scooter" gangs.
It will only be a matter of time before they are caught.
Cordless grinders seem to be used more often. When thieves realised that no one was actually going to stop them be it public or police then you can make as much noise as you want cutting through chains. Bike can't be pushed along anywhere then, by these "scooter" gangs.

ts, but I would not bet on it.BuzzBravado said:

Scum bags!
Isn't London the most CCTV'd city in the world?! Can't they track them via CCTV?
All CCTV will show is a masked pair on an unplated scooter......totally useless if you don't have someone available to chase them. Isn't London the most CCTV'd city in the world?! Can't they track them via CCTV?
The same thing happened to my friend a few weeks ago. They got into his underground car park below his flat in Battersea, ground off the disc lock on his 2014 fireblade and used the scooter towing method to take it out. They park the bikes up and put them under a cover (locked!) so that they can wait to see whether the bike has a tracker. My friend's did and he and the police found it in Streatham the next morning with the largest chain I have ever seen holding it to a post. They had torn off the seat and ripped out the battery and had damaged the front disc, but thanks to the tracker he got it back.
