Lovely day on friday, decided to ride the bike down from durham to my missus' house in coventry and soak in some curly roads. First time down there on the bike, quite keen to show the missus' lad the bike and so on, and had a cracking blast down.
Got there, locked it all up as usual, went away for the weekend to oxford, and get a call just before we're about to set off home from her brother to say the house has been burgled, and the bikes gone from the garage, along with half my gear.
Looks like they've come in through an u pstairs bedroom window, grabbed a load of stuff (laptops, psp etc) made a break for it and spotted my bike gear stashed in the corner. left my keys in the jacket pocket, along with wallet and lord knows what else, the rest as they say is history, as is my RSVR.
So in the off chance that anyone sees a 51 plate RSVR with the registration PO51 FAF floating around the west midlands, please kneecap the twunts who are on it.
Totally gutted, but there' naff all that can be done about it really, cheeky bastids had the nerve to take my rossi rep lid and dainese jacket too. Thankfully the BKS gloves and Sidi Vertigo Corsa air boots were left.
Most gutting thing is the bike was only insured Third party, so unless the house insurance coughs up it's a 5 grand lesson learned the hard way really.
The plod to their credit have been pretty good, waiting for the forensics guys to come and dust for prints but they got around in less than an hour after her brother called them.
Don't hold much hope of getting it back, which is gutting as I'd really fallen in love with it after doing a couple of thousand miles in the few weeks I've owned it, so I guess I'll be looking for a new bike now
I had a 1098s in mind for my next bike, but that's not going to happen now unfortunately
Cheers,
Stu

cheers guys, in all honesty I don't want it back, I'd forever be worrying if something was about to go wrong with it after it's been thrashed by countless young scrotes and their mates at the quarry or something.
The only thing remotely comforting is the prospect of getting a new bike as it's a wonderful experience, I just wish it was under different circumstances as I was really getting on well with the R. Plus there's not really that many bikes out there just now that appeal to me.

Gutted for you. This happened to me a few weeks ago (although my bike was not touched) and it is a horrible, helpless feeling.
Hate to bring some further bad news but you may find that the household insurance has a single item value limit which will probably be less than the value of your bike.
Kneecapping is definitely the way forward.
