Theft in my home the other night, could have been worse....

[bodyhard]

The other day at 3:00 in the AM two guys approached my home and one went into my property and stole my HondaPCX150, this is a scooter which cost me close to $5000.00. When I reported it to the insurance company, they are saying I did not have "comprehensive" coverage which covers theft, which is weird because all of my vehicles under my insurance are fully covered. Also they all are under one umbrella under my home insurance so I am trying to go that route to cover the lost.

License Services and Corporate Resolutions has gotten involved and they are doing an investigation to see if the agent made a mistake in my policy when they added the "motorcycle" insurance. They called me today and said someone from claims will be calling me within 48 hours, I am hoping this is good news as they said they would have told me if the claim was denied, lets see...

Here is the surveillance footage of the fcking guy going into my property and stealing my bike



Somethings I want to mention as I am kicking myself for not doing.

My wife said to me the night before they stole the bike "John put your bike away" like I always do and I said, nah I am tired and left it.
1. The bike was not locked
2. No cover on the bike
3. The bike was in clear view

This is how I left my bike out all night, so its my own fault in a way as I invited them to steal the bike.


A scary thought, I own a gun and if I was to have seen this guy entering my property more than likely I would have shot him and more than likely be in a fcked up situation, God works in mysterious ways.

And last, I had created a thread about politics and included the info on my bike in the thread, but decided to remove it as there are enough political threads going on right now.

[bodyhard]

One thing I forgot to mention, the detective who came to my house after the police, told me the city is making their job so much harder and easier for the criminals. Said once we catch them they are back out on the streets the next day, no bail, no court date, nothing. So what is deterring them?

[Payton1221]

So what is deterring them?

John,

That sucks. And there's very little deterrent. I grew up in Louisville, KY and still live near it, but the record for murders WAS set in 2016 @ 117 (Louisville Metro has ~1,000,000 people). That record was broken MID-SEPTEMBER. Gee, I wonder if there's any correlation between the lawlessness in the streets and the rioting and the near total disregard to the police /sarcasm

That struck a nerve in me.
Bold, brazen thieves.
That shvt just makes my blood boil.

I do hope they catch the fukhers and you get the insurance BS taken care of in your favor.

Hate seeing that behavior.

I go to louisville for spinelli's at least once a month or two. Haven't been all summer with all the bs going on.

[Paul Kreul]

Out the scooter, but agree the situation could have been much worse. When I first moved to CA, two thieves broke into our place as well..around 3am (that’s the key hour lol), when I ran to the back door to stop them they split, only had a knife on me at the time. Chased one down but that tweeker was moving, got worried I left the wife alone without seeing where the other one went so I made my way back, luckily he was long gone as well.

When the cops showed up, they asked if I had a gun, told them no, but I will be getting one now. Officer said next time if someone attempts to break in, let them enter your house, & shoot to kill once they are inside your property. Wife & I now know how to shoot, hope to God we never have to, but are at least now much better prepared.

Wife’s car was also stolen later that year, turned out to be a blessing as we wanted a new car anyways & the insurance company (USAA) gave us more than value. Moved out of that neighborhood, & have not had a problem since.
Sorry this happened, but like you said, could have been far worse.

[j1nevertogthr]

You seem like a nice guy, hope you get your bike back bro, sounds like it's time to move too, fukk dealing with that nonsense, I wouldn't be able to leave the house without feeling insecure

[-=FLEX=-]

That absolutely sucks man, but why the hell would you not lock it?

Even where I live that would have been gone.

I honestly think these guys were not thinking about stealing a bike I just made it easier for them.

I am more concern about getting the money, the streets is going to handle these fools....I only called the cops to get the report for the insurance.

Sorry to hear about that man, sh!t gets real...

Lived in the Bronx all my life not feeling insecure at all, like I said I just made it easier for them by leaving it in plain view, uncovered and unlocked..

That absolutely sucks man, but why the hell would you not lock it?

Even where I live that would have been gone.

I am a fcking idiot thats why

[Wayne Evans]

Ha....they'd probably prefer jail to 'street handling'.....if my perceptions are correct.

Carry on.....

[ChazWood]

Don't be so hard on yourself. We all do dumb $hit that cost us money or worse - serious injury. And this wasn't technically "active" dumb $hit, but more like "passive" dumb $hit as you were just too lazy to lock up the scooter or bring it inside and someone took advantage of the situation. No doubt this isn't even in the top 10 of dumb $hit you've done. It's just a few grand and you'll be more careful in the future.

and the top 10 number was being generous... probably more like top 100.

On point...Trust me.

We all do stupid **** from time to time.

But anyway give me Patty's number so I can call her up and tell her to slap you.

LMFAO!!! Well deserved slap for sure....

At least my garage was locked and he didn't get into it and fcked up my Vette or stole some tools, so there is that..

I am hoping my insurance provides me the money so I can purchase a new one, I really did enjoy riding it around, to the beach, to my old block, joy riding etc but most of the all the ease in getting to and from work.

[Bando]

Ahh Man that sucks, that thing was like brand new. I hope your insurance comes through or at least you get your scooter back.

[LWW]

Regarding the bail reform, ask guys like El and they will tell you that it’s only property, they also sound like my dad, every time a car gets items stolen, well they should’ve locked it up it not put valuables around.

Fuking leftist, it’s always the victims fault.

[ImBunky]

That sucks.

When I was much younger (late 80s) I had a Kawasaki KLR 600 Enduro stolen. Same issue with no comprehensive insurance. Thought that I was just dropping collision, but that is not how the agent had it.

[Payton1221]

I listened to a podcast about security cameras. It mentioned that there should be some cameras located for what I think they referred to as "ID quality."

Don't beat yourself up though. I've made mistakes in spades but I try to learn from them.

[Bando]

Sorry to hear that buddy, I know that "violated feeling" all too well as last year at about this time someone helped themself to a portable generator I had stored in a shed on my carport....

I told you I would bring it back on Sunday you drunk son of a bitch !

You are a freaking dumbass no offense

[OldFartTom]

We all do stupid **** from time to time...

Last week I got back from a morning run and saw my wife's house keys still in the outside of the lock, must have been there since the evening before. That'd be easy/obvious to see as people walk along the street. Thankfully nobody took the keys (to come back later), but it could've been very different!
The expression is "Lock it, or lose it" . I used to have a heavy chain with a really good lock on the back wheel secured to something and also a reasonable quality D lock on the front wheel. The fact there were 2 different types of lock meant it would take 2 different tools (if non power tool) to steal it which made it more trouble than it was worth

[LWW]

The expression is "Lock it, or lose it" .h

There was a time and place in my country where if it was on your own property it didn’t need to be locked.

The drug culture are the perps. We know what side supports them, it’s not MAGA.

[bodyhard]

Ahh Man that sucks, that thing was like brand new. I hope your insurance comes through or at least you get your scooter back.

I sure hope so man, I sure hope so..

It kind of was my fault on this occasion..

Lesson learn for sure man..

It's kind of a kick in the ass to have to remember that there's lowlifes out there doing that kind of sh*t !

I keep looking at the video more than I care to....

You are a freaking dumbass no offense

Yes, yes I am..

Damn the house keys? That is on a different level cause now they will enter your home. Lock it or lose it, will never forget this one thats for sure.

[ImBunky]

I took the loss.

[bodyhard]

I took the loss.

Damn...I hope this doesn't happen to me.

[Mark1T]

Johnny, I saw this thread but didn't want to open it because it I hate to read about such violations. Sorry to hear.

I hope your home insurance works out. Have you told the hood about it and ask them if they saw anything or have heard anything?

The guy probably lives close by.

Its all good man I understand..

Yes I got the word out as I am not confident the cops will look for this guy even though my cousin is a retired lieutenant and he put in the word at the precinct.

[Underwrought]

Continuing a long tradition of their kind stealing bikes. How dare you try and oppress them by not letting them practice their customs and beliefs.

sarcasm at it's best. succinct, yet biting... and accurate.
Is it too late to say they identify as scooter 'borrowers'?

Definitely not. At least not until hearing his side of the story.

Could be he's upgrading it with a new hamster wheel or whatever's powering that thing, and will then return it.
