mtnmanseth 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Super suck fest, will keep a keen eye for it, Ken. So curious, how does a bike like this get stolen? Assuming the steering was locked and the bike weighs 400-500 lbs... how do they move it? Pick the steering lock, hotwire it, 4 or 5 guys lift it into a pickup with no one noticing?

TrophyHunter 15 Posted April 7, 2015 He had the steering locked and a wheel lock in place. They normally either lift it into a truck, onto a trailer or roll it away from the location on a skateboard/moving dolly, then "unlock" it and hotwire it. All border cameras checked along with License Plate Readers (LPR) mobile and fixed. Nothing. Probably went into a Van and south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All border cameras checked along with License Plate Readers (LPR) mobile and fixed. Nothing. Probably went into a Van and south. Okay, so the only remedies would be to lock it to a post, awning support, car wheel, etc + install a motion sensitive alarm and/or some sort of Lojack GPS locator? And what do they do with it in Mexico? Part it out? Crate it up and ship it to Europe? Or would it be sold for best offer on Mexican Craigslist? Pardon my Montana naivety, but we've all needed to leave a bike outside overnight and lost sleep. No intention to hijack, but curious if there's anyway to avoid this situation without a locked garage. Your son must be nauseous, so sorry about this.
