YZ250K stolen in Sale, Victoria
« on: May 17, 2012, 08:57:03 AM »
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  >:(

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.

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.
74 Yamaha YZ's - 75 Yamaha YZ's
74 Yamaha  flattracker's
70  Jawa 2 valve speedway's

For sale -  PRE 75 Yamaha MX stuff, frame, motors and parts also some YAM DT1,2,A and Suzi TS bikes and stuff

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
