Caught 2 clowns stealing my Harley tonight

Cordless angle grinder by the look of it. :-1:

I though it was a drill bit or something to snap this disc lock not a grinder

Looks like a lag bolt or something else threaded screwed into the slot until it cracked. Nothing like a thief for cheap ass ingenuity.

Yeah dude, it’s just stuff. Unless you have some undying love for it, I which case I doubt it’s be parked on the street, let her go and be safe!

And sorry to hear about this, really sucks and feels violating!

I agree, those look like the marks from threads on a bolt. And that would snap that lock easily using the right bolt, and a cordless impact driver.

Be glad you weren’t shot at @anon98660487 , you got lucky there. Also got lucky that they tried to start it and ride away. So many are stolen near my by flatbeds / vans. Just roll it inside and away they go. You woulda never heard them then.

Sucks to have to deal with thieves though… Really does…

I feel for you living in a complex with a bike. I’d pack a tent or live outta a car before I’d get cheek to asshole with that many people.

Glad you’re here to talk about it!

Everyone I ever met who had a bike stolen parked it on the street. That’s what happens, I wouldn’t own one without a garage.

Man that blows bro! Hate to say it but that shit just don’t happen in my area in az, everyone open carries out here and thieves know thats a great way to get shot. Those fuckers were there to steal something not shoot someone, that’s where a gun on your end would have paid off to hold em there till cops did show up. Def wasnt the first one they have stolen cuz they had the methods dialed in regardless of your deterrents

Sorry to see/hear this man. Theft isn’t high priority for prosecution in your city these days so who’s to say them getting caught would have led to a different outcome. Glad you’re ok. Sad this stuff keeps happening to good folks.

If that shit happens here?
If I walk up on someone in the process of stealing my bike?
Garantee, I’m not the one who gets shot.
I carry everywhere I go. It would be a bad day for those guys.

I don’t park on the street it’s a private parking space I pay for

That really sucks!
I am surprised you can actually park it on the street though…
Over here, group of thiefs will just throw your Harley in the back of a truck, or a flat deck.
Be loaded up and gone in less then a minute.
Same goes for catalytic converters, those fucks get them pretty quick. :pensive:

Unfortunately that doesn’t always work.

Its amazing how many vehicles get stolen with all the fancy new anti theft stuff.

Then how did they get in? If they broke into your garage to do it that’s ballsy but if it’s out where they can just walk up to it whether you pay for the spot or not it’s a sitting duck.

The tools they left behind worth anything?

I have a parking space in my apartment block it’s not a garage lol

Shit tools put them in the bin
