Riders Choice Smash n Grab

Re: Riders Choice: Smash and Grab

WTF?? AGAIN? I was there about a half hour before the first time it happened 4-5 months ago and went back the next day to get my stuff. John was talking about putting up cameras and they had installed a reinforced gate, but what can you do when the ****heads drive into the store!??
The last guys were a bunch of idiots, it seemed to be a opportunistic smash and grab because apparently they didn't even take any of the expensive stuff...

About the only thing that you can do, other than the bars on the windows and doors bit, is put up concrete pillars that would wreck any vehicle that tried it. Then they start using chains on their vehicles to tear the chains out..... Basically the only thing that stops this, is that most people are fairly honest, or at least not dishonest enough to rob their neighbour on a daily basis.

Hire security at night? =/ I don't know how expensive that is though.

This sucks. I wanted to go there this weekend to buy boots. Maybe a guard dog or that concrete piller idea would work. This sucks. Hope they don't decide to close up shop because of this.

LoL security eh? We had security at my old place of business, turns out the guys from the security company got caught stealing at night.

Train your own guard dog I guess and leave him there over night? A Roti or German Shepard would do wonders.
 
Re: Riders Choice: Smash and Grab

would you happen to have any Prada bags for sale as well?

let me check my wife's closet and see what she has that I can offload in the name of buying parts and tires and oil ... :p

Unfortunately most security folks are paid dirt, so some of them choose to 'supplement their income.' Fox, meet hen house.

Nope.
If I knew parts were stolen, wouldn't touch it. Who knows maybe it will come back & bite you
 
Re: Riders Choice: Smash and Grab

I don't know too much about high end leathers, but some of the full suits are easily $1000+ Does the industry serial number the outfits?
Maybe this could help deter thefts? I know this may be "pie in the sky" thinking :rolleyes:

I know this is done with camera equipment and I am sure other higher ticket items.

Sad too hear hope the store weathers the loss, If memory serves correct, didn't they have another issue in the past year? Maybe not the same shop?

The guy got caught stealing from a candy machine...and kicking it in when he couldn't get anything. It was all on video lol As for the pitbul / Doberman ... what happens if the guy gets injured and sues you for it for injuries yada yada yada?

John's family has been in the motorcycle business for over a hundred years...they're not going to close up shop because of some bitchmade thiefs.

When I worked at Cycle City in Burlington we had this happen a few times but they normally stole bikes. Ultimately we solved the issue by anchoring giant armor stones in front of the building which put a stop to it entirely.
 
Re: Riders Choice: Smash and Grab

Pretty sure insurance will over all damages and lost items.
 
Would you buy stolen gear?

Majority of people will say no, the truth however is a whole lot different.

List of stolen items? Maybe we can all keep our eyes open and catch these ****erz. The gtam community is larger than these thieves think.

What makes you think that this "community" is so much different than everyone else?

Its no secret that the majority of people aren't honest. About a 1/3 of the population look for an opportunity to steal something, another 1/3 will steal if they believe that they will get away with it, and the final 1/3 won't steal period. Ponder that for a while.

Nope.

Interesting that you said "who knows maybe it will come back & bite you" instead of its wrong, i wouldn't steal etc...
