HONDA REPSOL CBR250R Stolen - my pride and joy

RECOVERED RECOVERED RECOVERED - Broken ignition so cannt get the key in and check the steering lock yet but otherwise OK. Seems other bikes in the same building had broken igintions as well but not removed - Mine was the one that got away - albeit not for too long. Bike is now locked down, insured, has a Screamer disc lock on it and a tracker - (Hmm is that an overkill??? :-0 )

Happened last night we are sure as someone also had their car broken into - and supposedly a secure carpark!

Sadly not insured - so if any one at all can help with ideas on how to track it down I would be so grateful.

 

Any identifiable features at all?

 

VIN/Rego?

 

cameras in the "secure" car park?

 

Sorry to hear about your bike

 

Think about suing the body corporate for not maintaining a "secure" car park

 

Before doing this, make sure that it is deemed to be "secure" in the wording of the document. If it is, then their insurance should cover any losses you have incurred.

When mine was pinched, although I was told that my car parking area was secure (word of mouth from the agent), there was nothing written down stating that it was actually deemed secure. As such, I was left in the lurch, and no changes were made afterwards to ensure that the problem could be mitigated in the future.

Not saying don't try, just saying investigate before going down any path.

 

Sorry to hear about your bike, I hope you get it back in one piece.
I wouldn't have thought a CBR 250R would have been a 'desirable' bike to steal though. The only thing that comes to mind is the culprit needed replacement parts/fairings for their own bike. Same thing happened last year with a brand new ninja 300 from memory.

If you do get it back, please get insurance...

@Trotski, I had a similar thing happen to me a few years back and we took it to small claims. It was 'only' push bikes that were stolen from us, but several cars and storage cages were broken into as well.
Because we were in a complex, we couldn't prove negligence or responsibility of either the body corporate or owner's. For all we knew, it may have been someone else in the complex that did the deeds. However, the magistrate did rip into the owner for his smug attitude and explained that had our unit had its own garage he would have been responsible for maintaining security. He changed his attitude very quickly and didn't talk much after that.

I have noticed that these kind of 'petty' crimes are becoming more prevalent over the last few years. If it's not bolted (or should that be welded?) down, it's fair game. Pretty poor reflection of the society we live in, but that's just the way it is unfortunately. There was plenty of discussion and opinions on the subject in @Bandra's thread; so probably not much point in thrashing it out again.

yes thankyou for that - someone at work told me this morning the same thing we are taking the first steps to tell them we want to claim on their insurance

 

That sucks. I followed one of these on the GDE yesterday about 5:00ish heading out towards Nugunawall, but I think I see him regularly so I better not run him off the road. Any identifying features (I'm guessing no considering the low k's).

 

Sorry to hear. Is there anything on the bike that might set it apart? Different mirrors, exhaust, stickers, etc..

Unfortunately 'secure' car parks are never secure. As many people, myself included, can attest to on CR.

No cameras - and the ability to slipstream into the carpark behind other cars wihtout being challenged

 

if the carpark is being marketed as "secure" then they need to held to account for it not being so

 

Whats the definition of a secure carpark?

 

yes that's the question, one definition of secure "is being free from danger or loss" , I do understand that carparks are not actually secure, but it really irks me when some real estate freebooter makes claims (no doubt at an additional cost to the Renter/purchaser) that they can not back up and will then run from responsibility, truth in advertising/marketing is needed

 

but you can look to the owner of the safe, who purported to you that your goods were "secure" in his safe, to make restitution

 

Without an answer to this question its VERY difficult to help. A repsol 250r is a very very common bike.

 

Its got a "One Heart" sticker on it.

 

I think thats standard.

I saw one in Woden today that hat 'Satu Hati' on the otherside of the bike, a quick google says that means 'One Heart'
