Stolen in Reading, Berkshire area

Post by Mr_Fen » Wed Dec 21, 2011 9:43 am

Hi All,
My NC30 was stolen monday evening from outside my home in Reading. I'm working in Doncaster so wasn't aware until the Police reported it found in a hedge, when they went to collect it, it had already been moved.

with a blue flame exhaust, white UK dials mod that is ONLY available from 400 Grey Bike as supplied by me :(

it is data tagged and has a S4-C1 Datatool immobiliser. Whoever took it must have pushed it for a while with the alarm screaming in their ear :sshh: but must of got it started somehow as it was 'found' a few miles away.

if you see it out and about feel free to run the bastards over. I really need insurance paperwork to sort out over Christmas.

Fingers crossed you get it back if that's what you want (some people dont' want them back!)

I know it's a bit late now the horse as bolted as the old saying goes but if you do get it back

http://www.torc-anchors.com/anti-pinch-pin.php

Have a look at the 'anti-pinch pin' and matching 19mm protector chain...

Makes it quick and easy to secure the bike... if you put the chain through the rear wheel it won't be turning and they won't be able to remove it either.. won't stop people in a van but theres no way they'll be riding it or croppign it without something electric and very loud.

Sorry to hear about the bike though.. keep us posted with any progress.

Oh and might be worth putting up a few flyers locally on lamp-posts etc.

If somebodys found it and can tell its' been knicked / crashed they might try and brake it so check flee-bay too..
