Bike Stolen: Keep an eye out and warning of how it was done
Hi All,

One of my mates has his bike stolen last night. It was parked at Werribee Plaza just near the front of Kmart.

Apparently someone punctured the side wall of his tyre while parked there. He attempted to use the tyre foam to get home but the hole (looks like it was a screw driver that did it) was too big and the foam came out.

So he locked his bike to a pole and left it overnight so he could wheel it down the to bike shop down the road to fix it. When he returned the bike was gone, along with the chain and the pole.

So it looks like it was a planned operation. Everyone please be aware of this if you find you're in the same situation be careful. There are bike transport services that will get your baby home if you need to.

The truly bad part of all this is the bike was not insured so can anyone who might have seen anything or notices the below bike being sold please let me know so I can pass it onto my mate it will be great appreciated.

2002 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Blue/Black (pics and VIN to follow)
with Yoshi RS3 pipe.
License Plate: BL 448

If anyone can give me any tips on other things I could do to possibly track this down (stolen vehicle registries, places to look, etc, etc), I'm all ears.

Major downer. No advice but a huge amount of sympathy to your buddy. I hope you catch and skin the perpetrators. (And get his ride back)

Re: Bike Stolen: Keep an eye out and warning of how it was done
best solution is to have a friend with a truck you can call to come help you out. Good luck finding it or getting something done regarding it.

Thanks for the warning Matt and sympathy to your mate. Insurance is definitely a good thing.

Fark, I live just 5min from the Plaza.
I will keep a look out for it, Matt.
I haven't had a problem parking there before but will take extra care now. Thankfully I have an alarm.

Re: Bike Stolen: Keep an eye out and warning of how it was done
Hi all. I'm the mate minus the GSXR.
I think the guys who stole it were fairly organized...
If anyone has any idea (or knows someone who does) how they are likely to try and offload the bike/parts i would be most interested.

Yea insurance is probably smart move...

Sorry to hear about the loss of your bike. I hope they are stupid enough to try to unload it in the area so you can catch and (expletive deleted) them.
good luck

Sorry to hear about your bike.


I know how you feel, mine was stolen from the inside of a locked garage in a residential neighborhood. the F---ers will do anything to get them. Bike has not been recovered to date maybe it ended up in New York.

Thankfully i was insured.

Sorry to hear it. But guys, it doesn't matter. Alarm, chain, guard dog, whatever, if they WANT your bike bad enough, they'll get it. INSURE YOUR BIKE.

Agree but the guard dog sounds nice. When I was little we had a full blood Saint Bernard while he was truly just our pet he was a show quality in papers and appearance, well some (*&^%$#TYHJHGTR$%T^RT stole him. Later the same individual tried to steal another in the area, this was unlike ours was mean as sin. Owner came home to blood all over his dog. After finding it not his he looked about and found more out in the road. Seems the dog did not want to share a ride. Made the theft of our pet a little better knowing a chunk of ass was missing from the ass
