Hello,
Please keep an eye out for my yz250k americian import that was stolen this morning.
Here is a link of the bike before it was stolen

It now has a gripper seat on it.
Thankyou

Sad to hear of your loss mate .. what a f#@king arsehole thing to do, steal someones bike >:(
Would you suspect it's only kids or do you think it was a more organised theft? Was there much security to deter them?
Pretty easy to spot your one so in the unlikely event it turns up here I'm sure it will be noticed.
Good luck and I hope it gets returned in one piece

It wasn't easy for them, they had to cut through 3 padlocks and steel mesh. They didn't touch anything else, just took the bike and left. Didn't even take the stand.
It's not a easy bike to hide

Oh really ..that much effort .. that doesn't sound like kids to me. Sounds more like a targeted theft unfortunately >:(

check your email plz ned/glen
@ hotmail
-
do you think you were targeted because it was listed on ebay? just interested as i need to sell a bike soon.
-
I have no idea if ebay was where the thief saw the bike or not. But they knew what they wanted and walked around more expensive bikes to get to it???
-
As it was specifically targeted, the thieves knew what it was and where it was. Who knew you had it and where you had it??

Agreed, sounds like an extremely single minded, targeted theft. Surely that would help you narrow the list of suspects down. I mean it may even be someone you know unfortunately.

preety sad state off affairs when this happens/hope it turns up in one piece

Sale doenst sound like its suburbs. So i'd say check a 100 mile radius. you would need to drive too far for a stake out. so my vote is on 100mile radius.

good on you Rookie !!
any news nedfoster ?

Saw your ad on ebay nedfoster, any action or updates?
-
The ebay thing has been interesting. Had someone try and buy the bike off me. When i told him it has been stolen, he just didn't care and gave me bad feedback. What a pain in the arse.
In regards to the bike I have been following a few leads, we will see what happens. The biggest problem is that it was in a workshop when it was stolen and 100's of people would have seen it.
Thankyou everyone for your support

Did any one notice that my advertisement of my stolen bike got bought on ebay? The ebayer that bought is a real .............
If you do can you please tell him that he is a real jerk and a disappointment to the vmx scene.
I better say what happened as a warning to others.
1/ bike gets stolen
2/ advertise that bike is stolen on ebay, it has a buy it now of a 1000
3/ Mark puts in an offer of 1200, which is weird. If you thought it was for sale why would you put an offer higher then the asking amount.
4/ a couple of days later clicks the buy it now button
5/ I write an email asking what do he think he is doing or does he know the where about of my bike? Which would be fantastic!
6/ Gives me negative feedback within a couple of minutes
7/ continues to threaten me about selling him a bike i dont have.
8/ wont remove negative feedback and is just making a hobble situation worse
9/ 2 weeks later still wont retract feedback
Thanks........... you're a real top bloke

Its not bad enough that your bike gets stolen, then you have to put up with a tool like that..
It was in black and white on your add on ebay it had been stolen.
report him to ebay that hes a dick head

Sounds like he's just going out of his way to fark you around. Mate there are some weirdos on ebay .. I've met a couple over the years in my travels. The latest one , a few months back, insisted I buy a bike from him that didn't run even though he advertised it as running then told me it ran when I spoke to him. When I went to pick it up he told me it didn't run and that it was my responsibility to get it running?? I told him that it was up to him to present the bike as advertised not me.
Then he wouldn't let me leave without paying for it and he was getting real weird .... Anyway to cut a long story short I jumped in my car and drove away so he jumped onto the side step of my landcruiser and was screaming at me to pay him the money. He fell off at around 30 kph down the road and then reported me to the police for a hit and run ::) Spent a couple of nights in hospital and if I get a hold of him will spend a couple more.
Anyway, it's all worked out okay now as there were witnesses and the cops couldn't figure out how I ran over him when he was hanging off the side of my car ... if I had of ran over him he wouldn't have got up I can tell you.
But anyway, back to your dilemma, your ebayer sounds like a real tool but a way to avoid that situation (yeah I know .. all too late now) was to put a buy it now of $1M ... nobody would be game to click that.
No word on its where abouts yet??

hi ned sorry to here all that has there been any leads to whereabouts of bike and is that jerk on here cheers
-
>:(
-
That's crap, Ned. I hope it does work out for you in the end.
I'm not sure if it's a trend, but after a few years and lost of transactions on eBay, I'm starting to get more and more weirdos and trouble makers.
So much so, that I'm not sure it's worth my while selling on there anymore.
P.S. You're not getting wet feet at your place, are you? :-\
