Had a phone call from my housemate to say I've been burgled over Xmas while I was away,the scumbags nicked my bike too so if you see it please let me know-
Triumph Sprint 900,reg M201FNR,fitted with a Givi wingrack and 36 litre side cases and a 45 litre topbox with backrest,stolen with keys and possibly paperwork so if you see it please let me know.
Any help appreciated,thanks.Pic of bike on my profile.
That's not a good Xmas present Sprint
I hope you get some good news about your bike soon
I'll keep an eye out for it mate
Deepest sympathy for your loss
That's a bas**** sorry to here it hope your insurance is OK, although i do know what it feels like to have it stolen but at least it better in winter than summer when you want to be out on it
Aww Piers, what rotten news, I hope you get the bike back and any other stuff they took.
I'm curious tho, why were the keys left in the bike?
Did they ride the bike away? Maybe a neighbour heard it leave and can tell you what time that was, just a thought.
Is the cat alright?
Broke into my house over Xmas and found keys,hence bike stolen from locked garage-knackered 500 quid of alarm system doing it! Also nicked tv's,ps3 etc,either burglars who got lucky with the bike or bike thieves who thought they'd have a few bits as a bonus.no bike paperwork stolen so I don't know what they will do with it.blackbird now in my dads garage in Kent,staying there till my garage alarm sorted and all locks replaced.

Im going to say kids 16/22 year olds bike was a big bonus but cctv will not get them in court, but it may mean you get to bump in to them one evening if thay will let you see it
Most bikes are stolen to order, and shipped off a.s.a.p. or broken down and parts sold to waiting buyers; of which the crim's have a list.
Sadly it's big business.
Fingers crossed that the CCTV footage shows something that can be of use, Piers.
The CCTV footage may or may not be a bonus Piers
But the fact that you still have the paperwork may prove helpful in the pursuance of an insurance claim
My insurers Carol Nash provided a "DNA"* kit FOC to mark all major components
It can sometimes help to trap unscrupulous breakers when they try to "part" bikes out
I hope it all works out well for you
At least you have the new Blackbird to console you
* formerly Alpha Dot
Triumph recovered by the police late last night,found in an underground car park in one of the rougher parts of Bradford.Appears undamaged except for a crack in the fairing near the indicator lamp,otherwise much as when it left my garage.As a fairing is £420 plus vat and Triumph have quoted me almost £700 to replace all the locks I'm hoping it stays written off......
Well it's good to hear its been found
I'll bet they weren't "actively" looking for it though
At least the toerags who left it there haven't got it now
Sounds like a "write-off" alright
Hope you get a good price for the "salvage"
And a decent payout for the theft
Maybe "resurrect" it and sell it on at a bit of profit
Good job you've got the Blackbird to use instead
