Some scumbag tried to steal my bike tonight.
They used a screwdriver to try and pop the stearing lock but the alarm must have scared them off. I wouldn't have discovered it only for i was going to run up to the 24 hour tesco.
The ignition has a fair bit of damage but i managed to get the key in and get it running.
I so pissed off that i didnt hear the alarm going off cos i have a crowbar beside the front door and id love to have caught them in the act.

Im taking it as a lesson though and the bike will be parked in the back from now on.

Btw anyone know roughly how much an ignition barrel will cost?

is there any point?
they would have no evidence,No suspect and even if they knew who did it they couldn't do anything.
Rentabikaganga is the only solution for these types i reckon

I agree, but if you dont report it, then it a crime gone unreported - and thats never a good thing.
Pick up the phone, make the call, 5 minutes of your time and it MIGHT mean next year your local bobbies get an extra pair of legs.

Lads ye have to report crimes/attempted crimes.......
The amount of stolen drills/tools my dad got back over the years after them being robbed out of the back of his van was unbelieveable. It was never quickly..usually about 2/3 months after they had been taken and replaced, but none the less....its another charge on the scumbags sheet no ?

May their next Sh1t be Razorblades.

About €50 I think. Horsepower do a generic one, but I can't find their catalogue.

I know they dident get your bike (Thank god or your lock) but you should report it anyway.I had 2 SLR Cameras stolen from my car in the car park of the Corrib Hotel in Galway, The Tallaght Gardai returned ooops,,, I mean got them back for me 2.5 years later because I had given all the serial no's The system does work ,,,Sometimes.

Yeah, my dad had his jeep stolen on him....inluding a laptop/scnner/printer and 2k worth of tools.
Funnily enough the laptop was recovered in the time it took the ins company to replace the jeep.
Following on from that, they knew then who had stolen the jeep/sold the contents/bought the stolen gear etc.
Jeep was never recovered. No idea if anyone was charged/caught etc... prob not.

It important to report everything. And make sure that the Garda has put your report in the log book. Otherwise the government can claim we are living in a crime free fairy land.
