Didn't mean to take a personal "poke" at you, just getting REALLY tired of reading such stupid behavior. Buying a $9000 bike and leaving it un-attended and UN-INSURED in an underground condo parking lot, is as moronic as when you see these young kids buying $600 cars and putting $4000 stereo systems in them. If you can afford a $9000 bike, then you should be able to afford the alarm and the theft coverage. These thefts happen EVERY DAY, and is NOT going to stop simply because we "didnt think it would happen to me". The only thing good about reading these threads is that hopefully SOMEONE is reading them and then realizing "Hey.....do I WANT my bike stolen, or not?"

Thanks for stating the obvious. No one is freaking out, begging for sympathy and crying themselves to sleep at night over this. I fully admit I made a mistake, and already prepared to take the loss. However, I don't think my mistake forfeits my ability to ask the community to keep an eye and ear open if they happen to see my bike on the road. Let's keep perspective here, I'm not an 18 year old kid that borrowed mommy's money for something I couldn't afford.That being said, your offer to leave me $1000 on your driveway is appreciated, but you forgot to pm me your address. Thanks in advance.

Yo D....Sorry to hear man...when you posted up here on the forum I was hoping it wasn't your bike...then you mesg'd me on fb...Frig...

You got my digits...call me later...we'll discuss...I'll post up the info you sent over on my wall soon...

****** man..totally ******
 
Sorry to hear about your bike. I'm also sorry to hear everyone is blaming you instead of blaming the real culprits. The damn theives!!! That bike would have been stolen regardless if it had an alarm. Sure, if he had insurance he would have a new bike, but we are forgetting we all pay in the end with higher insurance premiums cause of these low life theives.
 
Yo derek240,

Sorry man, that blows. I know TD is tight about the alarm system thing but dang that was a miscalculated risk. This condo bike theft issue is out of control. I hope you get lucky and find your bike but I get the feeling that you are SOL.

This is why I can't wait to move from a condo to a house with a nice clean two-car garage in the burbs where I can set booby traps and tazer would-be thieves in the nuts when my proximity sensors trip.

He had already admitted that it's his fault for not being extra cautious... isn't really that hard to just show some sympathy instead of keep bashing at him? If you made a mistake, I don't think you want others to keep bashing at you right?

Here Derek, sorry for your loss.... I will definitely let you know if I see anything.

You can't blame someone for coming on to a site that thousands of local bike enthusiasts visit (who know bikes well enough to be able to tell them apart) to have their eyes peeled and ears on the ground. He's basically made it impossible to sell this bike to this (relatively large local motorycle) community.. so the bike needs to be sold elsewhere (which was already likely the case, but the principle still applies). The harder it is for theives to move these things, the better as far as I'm concerned.

The above aside, the more people like you come and whine about "I'm tired of reading this.. .I'm sick of hearing about this.. " the less likely someone else is going to to do it next time. In turn, people won't be reminded... people may even think its safe to park their bikes in condos or to not lock up their chains... more bikes will be stolen. This is a problem worth being reminded about constantly to nausea if it's a means to an end (which it may not be, but it's not making it worse either).

I'm sure the OP is sorry to have runied your day. Get over yourself.
 
if you don't want to read about a stolen bike, then why click on it???
anyone that gets something stolen could have done something more to help prevent it.
now if I come across a bike like this I'll probably ask the rider a few questions about it, if there's something that sounds kinna off then I'll pass along the info.
 
there is a black kawi 'Monster' edition parked behind the courthouse on Albert st/bay st. its worth a look so i'll check it out on my break - i saw it on my morning break....any vin#
 
Wow, that sucks about not being able to get theft insurance. Comprehensive coverage is often the only coverage I have on some of my vehicles (when stored). Even my $2k car that could only be stolen with a flatbed (it's in pieces, doesn't run, and is missing a wheel) has it.

Re. theft coverage; I called TD Meloche Monnex for a quote on a 2005 Suzuki C50 and they said I would need an alarm in order to get theft coverage as well.

So maybe it's not just SS bikes...?

I double checked my policy. It clearly states fire and theft - no deductable.

There's a process involved, as someone else mentioned - I'm guessing copies of receipt for alarm & invoice for installation.
Click to expand...

Precisely! That's what I'm interested in finding out. What is the process?

If I bought a used alarm from a member and installed it by myself, is that good enough for the process?
 
I really think there should be a sticky regarding Condo/Apartment bike theft that outlines the high risk, what to do to protect the bike as much as possible and the need for insurance because nothing totally prevents the theft.

Risk = Very High, Condo parking lot bike theft is very common.

Prevention = Buy an older non SS bike if possible/desirable (because newer SS bikes are the highest risk) and/or protect the bike as much as possible, minimum protection should include:

-Get an Alarm
-If at all possible chain the bike to a pole or something that cannot be moved (or even another bike--like a $100 junker). If not possible get the shortest possible chain that will loop through the two rims tightly making it slightly harder to cut.
-Get some Kevlar (or other tough nylon long strand) rope to weave through the chain and lock so that when they use the grinder to try and cut the chain the rope wraps around the cutting disk jamming it (maybe taking a couple fingers with it), also makes it harder to cut with bolt cutters.
-Park the bike at the far end of the parking spot.
-If you have a car block the bike in with it (when the car and bike are both there).
-Get a plain generic cover and cover it at all times (except when riding of course).

Insurance = Because none of the above will prevent the theft it only lowers the chances and/or makes it as hard as possible make sure the bike has proper and full theft insurance.

Did I leave anything out?
 
First, thanks for the support, whether it's positive or not, at least you're keeping my thread at the top with lots of activity. Special thanks for those who actually do what a community is supposed to do, and keep vigilant for stolen bikes.

I'm not sure how not having theft insurance has to do with the process of the bike being stolen. Whether I had theft or not, I don't think the criminals actually take that into consideration. Even if you get an alarm, and chain your bike to a pillar, how hard is it to buy a $22 bolt cutter from Canadian tire, and in 1 second your chain already a non issue. They're most likely throwing the bike into a van/truck and not riding it out, so the alarm is going to be pretty useless. When was the last time you went over to a motor vehicle with the alarm going off and took action? The only relation theft insurance is that I get some compensation back from my insurance company, which is irrelevant to the bike being stolen. Would you have responded differently if I had left out the insurance part? If so, maybe that was my second mistake. I'll let future members know to leave that tid bit of information out for their future reference.

Join date of Aug 10 and you slept ok knowing your bike was parked in condo parking uninsured? This is not the first thread like this, this year. At first I thought it was a joke. With a post count of 10, that's a 1000 dollars per post. If he was paying attention to GTAM he probably would still have his bike.
Click to expand...
Again, not sure what insurance has to do with theft deterrence. Even if they did compensate me, and even if that amount was enough to get all the parts back, which it wouldn't, it would still be an enormous amount of time to source all the parts, and more time to install everything, etc etc. So for all the angry kids out there, to reiterate, having theft coverage on your bike does not deter criminals from stealing it

To my knowledge for MM, they didn't require any proof or receipt to provide the coverage, you just have to let them know. If you do ever get a claim, they may ask you to provide evidence, etc, but it's best you contact your insurance provider directly for clarification.

I agree, the ppl we should be yelling at are the thieves. not only are they taking are bikes away, they also make our insurance higher!!! BASTARDS!!!
 
Well, there's some news today, contacted the officer that was originally helping me, said the case has been handed over to a detective, but was still nice enough to look up the case report. My damn condo still hasn't sent the surveillance tapes to the police yet, but somehow they have a suspect, which is surprising. Not getting my hopes up, but at least it's something.

I'll say what others can't say because they're nicer;

Dude, shut the **** up. I'd love to see you have the balls to act this way to somebody who just had their bike stolen in real life. What if he's the type of person who assumes good in others? Put the 1000 dollar bill at the end of your drive way, make sure you also walk out of it and post your address here so whoever gets their bike stolen can come to your house, skull **** you and beat your *** inside out for **** talking to someone who is already down.

Put yourself in his shoes, how the **** do you think he feels right now? Do you think what you said helps in anyway possible because demeaning the dude some more makes him feel better? Crawl the **** back under your bed and end your life. The world doesn't need faggots like your ***.

And to the OP, I'm really sorry to hear that. Wish there was a way to help out as I have friends who live in that area; hell, I had a friend tell me about a bike being stolen there this morning. I thought Markham was relatively safe...guess it isn't anymore -_-

EDIT: Wait I forgot to point something out to the dumb **** who posted what he posted; have you ever been a thief? Do you how much "protection" an alarm or chain provide when someone wants to steal your ****? ****ing retard, use your brain.
Click to expand...

To your edit.... Are you at all familiar with the concept of low hanging fruit, or are you just another swearing idiot? In short, protecting your bike will not provide 100% protection but any fool should know that the thieves will always take a better or equal bike that is less protected first, so why be the victim if a little information can help prevent it?

BTW, just try cutting a Kevlar or long strand tough nylon rope with a tool that cuts chain (when the rope is weaved through the chain)...it is not easy if at all possible. We need to be doing this so the thieves lose some fingers!

You're wasting your breath. There will always be people who go through life whose reasoning is primarily based on "possibilities" without any regard for probabilities. The insurance industry counts on this, and they are winning.

Someone should sticky this: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?139773-Condo-Retards

OP, sorry about your loss. Live and learn.
