Rare Ducati stolen, Please help.

[wassy]

Right, this is your worst nightmare.
You come home from an honest days work and notice the garden gate is open, 'bloody window cleaners'. But it's not. Some thieving scum has broken into your garage, ignored your alarm, cut through your ground anchor and your bike is gone.
But this is no ordinary bike. It's the bike you have owned and developed from an 851 roadbike to a 955 racebike. A bike you know every single part of. A bike that is so recogniseable within the Ducati community that as soon as anyone trys to sell or break for parts will be instantly spotted.
This bike was stolen from a friend's garage in the Durham area on Friday in broad daylight.
If anyone out there is offered or spots anything to do with this bike please pm me with the information.
In the meantime review your security, you could be next !

bds, really bad news, you must be gutted

What type of ground anchor did you have, and do you know how they cut it?

Surely someone must have heard the angle grinder going? Did your neighbours see anything?

[wassy]

It's a mate's bike.
He's an engineer by trade and believe me, the security was top of the range they must have used a grinder on the locks.

The alarm went off but no one took any notice.............

I hope it turns up, soon - and unmolested (unlike the scum who have stolen it, who deserve to meet Mr Big in the showers).

I'll keep my ears open.

Bloody scum. People like that are of no use to society. Should be castrated to prevent them breeding then pressed into service as slaves mending the roads for the rest of us to enjoy.

Hope the bike is found in one piece

Sorry to hear this, I'm not local to you so probably won't see/hear of it but I'll keep an eye out.

Very nice bike BTW.

Yea, no problem.

[Beemer-5]

The same thing happened to a friend's 999R.
It was in hundreds of pieces in a matter of days, much of it also abroad, in no time at all.

The example in this thread was likely done to order, probably by someone you know, maybe even as a friend.
It happens.

bds...almost wants you to kill them ..hope you get your bike back..would be hard sell.

[Airtrixx]

Sorry to hear this, hope you get your bike back.

Some retards tried to steal my bike from a locked garage at 4.00am last week. I was lucky that alarm scared them off when the lifted the covers off. It pisses you off that useless scum like this are allowed to breathe.

I guess that you must feel really gutted, I hope it turns out ok for you.

Sorry to hear about the Bike

Have you heard any news??

[wassy]

No news. Looks like it's down to the insurance now

[big_rob_sydney]

Its reasons like this that I have a tracker on my bikes. Not so much to stop the theft in the first place, but rather to catch the bds so they go to prison.

So you guys know, you can get trackers that allow YOU to follow the machine, before getting the cops involved.

Would make an ideal honey pot to then get a stload of thieves well into the st.

If I had a dungeon, it would be my pleasure to introduce these thieves to pliers and a blowtorch.

£600, maybe not lol

It's a hard lesson to learn. I returned form a motox event with my bikes & stopped at my local on the way home. Bikes were gone within the week. I've always been very secretive about anything nice I have, ever since. It's a pity when you can't show off your pride & joy for fear of some scum nicking it.
