Stolen Dirt Bike

Clifjr · May 16, 2016

I'm posting this for my brother who had his 2005 KTM 525 EXC stolen last night when someone broke into his shed. It was the only item stolen and the police have been involved. If anybody sees it please PM me. Thanks

That's being used this morning to run drugs in the neighborhood. But don't worry, it will soon be seen at the dirt bike track they want to build for the yoots in the area.

Curious was shed and or bike locked and how they defeated that?

In any event, absolutely sucks and hope it's recovered quickly in good shape.

Shed was locked and was forced open. The lock is nowhere to be found, maybe they took it with them? Everything else in the shed is still there, gas power washer, rotor tiller and all his power & hand tools. We found tracks leading away from the shed & house but disappeared by the road.

MOCO tried to get fingerprints off of the shed locking mechanism but nothing. Assuming that's why the lock is gone as that may have had fingerprints on it.

In PG county now, will see it on 495 this weekend. Just a guess, though.

Be careful, they might be back for the other stuff later.

Same thing happened to me a few years back. My 2004 YZ250f and my son's YZ80 both stolen from locked shed. Had a cable lock run through both frames as well. All for nothing.

2 years later, got a call from DC police that my son's bike was found after a chase.

Lots of bikes being stolen lately. My neighbor just had his garage broken into and 3 bikes were taken

Hide a Tile on it.

Use it to track your stolen motorcycles, put one on your lawnmower, or find out where your wife's boyfriend lives...

Isn't that bluetooth? Not sure how far it would actually work. Now if you rigged up C4 and a tile detonator that went off if someone took it too far away I'm all for it!

But wait. I'm sure he would be a good boy. Loving son and father to 3-9 kids. How do you expect him to get a good education without the proper transportation to go back and forth from his supplier and his street corner. Oh wait, that should read back and forth from his home to school and back... yeah that's it.

Come on man...can't you help out a brother? After all, yous got insurance, yous'll get anoder ones when da insurance pays off.

Come on man...

I know I know...my compassion escapes me at times!

Then again I've donated my fair share already. Had a CR500 stolen out of the back of my truck early one AM. Couple years later my garage was broken into and two 4-wheelers walked out. This was just prior to alarm and DVR. Then couple years later had a nice pair of gentleman come to my house for a CR250 and what could it hurt to let one take a test drive while his buddy hung around with me. Well he never came back so that was 4.

Perhaps they were all used to transport future brain surgeons and physicists to college classes. I choose to stay positive and think they were going to college. For just a second I wished they wrecked and were pinned under an 18 wheeler while a fire burned and sulfuric acid leaked out of the trailer around them. Okay maybe two seconds...

Yes, but supports crowdsourcing with GPS.

Good news! The bike was found this morning @ 1:30am on the side of the road in Germantown when a police officer heard it and followed the noise. Didn't catch any suspects and because of the weather no prints on the bike. Just a little beat up and abused but still runs and will be fixed back up. My brother is elated that he got it back as he didn't think he would ever see it again.

j_h_smith · May 17, 2016

Congrats, now where is he going to store it? Hopefully not in the same shed!!!

davsco · May 17, 2016

glad to hear he got it back!!! interested in hearing any better deterrent/protection/tracking precautions out there.
