Parts taken off bike...

[alanmcorcoran]

Anybody have problems with lowlife taking parts off your parked bike?

Coming back home last night from a theater in downtown Santa Ana, I noticed my front right blinker plastic cover was missing. When i looked closer this morning, I saw what looked like screwdriver or other scratch marks around the edges of the housing.

Why someone felt the need to take this particular part is beyond me. I suppose it could have fell off, but I noticed almost as soon as I was underway and I doubt it "fell off" just sitting in the parking lot. List price for a replacement? TWENTY SEVEN BUCKS. I ordered from a dealer for $17 or so, but sheesh. That's like ten Starbucks!

Sorry to hear a low life found your bike. Stuff like that does happen and is there to prove not everyone is law abiding. Some one is 10 starbucks ahead.

I'd suggest an alarm. My HD has one & nobody has touched it yet.

I know it's disheartening and really pisses you off.

I'm real sorry.

This is bad around here. Mostly it's easy stuff like mirror stalks, reflectors, brake/clutch levers and license plates, but there are also a lot of cases where people have taken complete handlebars, gas caps, clutch covers, headlights, seats...pretty much anything you can get an allen wrench or a screwdriver on.

These people should also be brutally killed if found too.

I can't do an alarm. I have already vowed to "brutally kill" some of the cage owners around here than have 'em, set 'em and then go God knows where while they entertain me and my neighbors all weekend. In my last residence, the cops took away one of my neighbors one Sunday afternoon after he attacked a chirping/clanging/WHAOOGAHing pickup with a crowbar. A local hero.

I think it was the WHAOOGAH that finally got to him.

Thankfully, after the rest of us surrounded them, they also order up a vehicle crash cart and put the offending Nissan on a flatbed, still singing away as they took it off to the La Habra impound lot.

I guess I'll be thankful it wasn't a wheel.
