Condo Retards

Sorry in advance if this post offends anyone, but it appears the condo theft "season" has begun.

My suggestion is that the forum refer to anyone who has his/her bike stolen as a "retard" if he/she doesn't at least buy a chain like this from Bluestreak (or equivalent):

$300 to save you having to be rideless, dealing with cops, insurance, and adding to the laughter of thieves that are having their way with the GTA.

If you live in a condo, and "don't" buy one of these chains and wrap it around a mother of a pole - you are a Condo Retard. Simple as that!

This post is not meant to insult, but motivate your lazy ***** into buying a small investment that will pay off huge dividends.

Not everyone is aware of how serious condo motorcycle theft is. If I didn't know of this website (as I'm sure many, many riders out there are not) then I would not have known this fact. I can see how you're not trying to insult, but I don't find it fair to call them lazy retards for not taking extra precautions. Some of my friends who don't ride believed parking underground is safer than out on the streets until I told them otherwise.

And we should call people that can't spell Spelling Retards. Haha, just kidding.

I'm curious as to the probability of a bike getting stolen in underground parking lot versus out on the street. I'm lazy, so does anyone have the stats for that? How about what type of bikes are getting stolen exactly? I would think dual sports would be more prone to being stolen, seeing as they can be ridden off road and never have cops see them. It does seem to be super sports and I guess they're being shipped overseas because I can't see them being sold here stolen.
 
Maybe going around calling people lazy and retarded is not the way to inspire them to do something... If I don't want to lock my bike up that's my choice. If it gets stolen that's my problem. Also, why are u recommending such expensive equipment? There are cheaper ways to secure a bike. In the end, this would be nothing more than a deterrent. Someone had their bike stolen recently where the thieves broke a concrete column to take it. Just saying u don't mean to offend doesn't give u the liberty to go around insulting people.
 
Anti-theft measures for condo dwellers, in order of importance:

- Don't buy a brand new bike. The older (or older looking) the bike - the less chance of it being stolen.
- Don't buy a thief magnet bike. Standard, naked, dual sport, touring, are much less of a target than supersport.
- Get theft insurance. It's not that expensive.
- Use a good bike cover. It protects from dust as well as prying eyes.
- Secure your bike properly, as the OP said.

This is based on my personal experience living for six years in a Yonge/Bloor condo. My Zephyr and Bandit were never disturbed and neither were several other bikes. None of them were supersports or younger than four years and none were covered or secured by extra locks/chains. Several people not living in the building had access to the underground garage against condo rules (renting parking spaces). Only one camera was covering the garage exit, and that one wasn't of very high quality.

In case any thieves are reading this and they know where I lived, don't bother. The building security was seriously upgraded since.

Thanks for the typo notice.

It's GTA
It's condos, namely Scarborough
It's SS Bikes ($$$)
It's at night
It's two guys per van
It's organized crime
It appears to be laughably simple.

Then you see the posts of tears on here, and all the condolences. Same thing every year.

I'm sorry to say, you are a "condo retard." I do not say that to insult, but to teach.

We live in a society where people want to steal your possessions to get ahead. To leave your $10,000 - $20,000 investment unguarded in this day and age is insanity. Its painful to lurk on this forum all summer, and see the amount of SS bikes stolen. I would go as far as saying that if you "do not" chain your bike with the chain listed or equivalent in a condo, you are guilty of reckless negligence. Look at all the mods listed under these bikes. Look at all the group buys for cameras...yet the most important mod would be a concrete pole and the chain listed. It won't stop the thieves, but it will certainly slow them down. The slower the "grab" (for them), the increased likelihood of them getting seen, heard and caught.

People, the cops could give a rats about you or your bike. They probably smile as it's one less SS bike on the road that they have to chase. Or one less dead body to mop up this summer. This is how a cop thinks. You have to take responsibility in Ontario for your own bike, as the thieves want to take it, and the cops want to take it too (HTA-172). You should guard your bike with your life. $300 to protect your source of joy and happiness is not a lot of money.

Perhaps a group buy for monster chains?
 
If they want your bike they will take it. Best thing you can do is get something like this.

http://www.trackstick.com/

Many out there and just hide it on your bike. You can set an alarm to let you know on your mobile when its in motion and you can call the cops as soon as its moving. You get your bike and the people taking it go to jail and you do others a favor by getting them off the steets.

If more people had these bike theft would be a thing of the past.
 
Apparently the last guy to post about getting his bike stolen had it chained to a concrete post that was cut because they couldn't deal with the chain. He hasn't provided proof of this, but if you take him at his word, having some mega chain was useless in his situation. You gotta chain it to something, right?

Perhaps you shouldn't be spending so much time blaming the victim as you should be focusing on the responsibility of first the condo corporation in providing a more secure garage, and secondly the police and their inability to ****ing find these thieves.

I don't think trackstick uploads remotely, I believe it needs to be plugged into a computer, so this wouldn't work.

It would be retarded to think that a chain is going to put an end to a thief taking your bike!

This is their busy tme of year, don't make their jobs harder by adding the extra 10 or so second it will take to breach that chain to their already busy schedule!

There are other products there.. need to sign up for a year, $30 a month plus activiation fee etc etc. Up to 1 report per 5 seconds. BUt, that would kill the battery post haste, unless you've got the 12v adapter to hook it into the bike's electrical system.

Yes, mainly GTA
Condos but don't be quick to say scarbrough!! If you read the posts here you will see it's condos on yonge st corridor (sheppard) and Cityplace/lakeshore .

It can and has happened during the day.
Sometimes more than two guys and yes, it's a joke that so called "security" is being paid for at these places. Too bad.

Do you have a link? I see nothing on their site about that
 
The nature of a sportbike rider is to over-think things, that's just how our analytical brains work. In the mind of the sportbike rider, high-tech can be the the only solution. This is why chains aren't being purchased. If you read the OP, the GTAM link provided examines just how hard it is to get through these chains. Knocking down a concrete pillar? They are load-bearing, and most are more than two feet in circumference. It's not going to happen. Sometimes the best solution, is the simplest solution. All the high-tech gadgetry, while very useful, is all after-the-fact. They've already got your bike! I encourage you all to read the GTAM thread in the OP and examine just how hard these chains are to bust. Grinder? Cutting wheel? Even a plasma cutter will fail! Simple, effective, cheap, and one ****** off thief! All for less money than you're going to pay out in deductible.

there's lots of GPS options that use very low power and could be left for 4 months without killing the battery.
the power issue is another excuse to be lazy and then complain your **** got stolen. as is cost. 10/month. I've posted 2 threads about it.

I'm with the OP. there are measures you can take. $10,000 bike, 500 deductable, lost time riding, trying to get them to pay what it's 'worth'.. all because you cheaped out on $400? in the end if you can't be bothered to spend a couple hundred to protect the investment (and realize the security devices are cheaper than what you lose) then you are a retard.
tired of hearing lazy people complain.
 
What do you care ... not your bike, not your problem. People can post what they want.
 
My buddy bought a Ducati in the states to drive around down the coasts with his friends. Unfortunately he couldn't sell it before coming back up so he stashed it at his friend's garage. He lives in a house with a locked garage (padlocks on the inside), and his bike is also locked (I am unsure with what security). Thieves broke into his garage and took off with the R6, but my friend's Ducati was left there. MAYBE that was due to the fact it had that wonkin' 200 lb snake wrapped around it. but not sure.
