Anyone wanna buy a black starter cover and a couple shock tops??? J/K, that sucks man.

 

I'd hassle the dealer, they should have some kind of security system to catch stuff like that and if they dont they should replace your stolen parts for not having proper security.

 

That's just messed up. Since this guy was staring you down, I guess you got a good look at him. I'd call the dealer for sure and let them know what happened. For his sake, I hope you find him! Maybe a good ***-whipping will teach him a lesson. Reminds me of when a guy I knew had some of his tools stolen off a job site. Was in the local watering hole and told the rest of the crowd about it. Next day, some guy comes in the bar asking if anyone wants to buy some tools. The guy I know goes out to the parking lot to look, and sure enough, it was his stuff plus some other stuff. He beat the guy to a pulp right there in the parking lot.

 

Florida's different from other States. A little of that going on, but not too much.

Lots and lots of carry permits down here. Really a lot. And the laws really do protect law-abiding citzens. We had a guy not too far from here chasing another guy down the street after he'd stolen a generator out of his garage. Seriously, the bad guy just walked into the garage and walked out with a small generator.

The homeowner took off on foot, ran him down and shot him. They arrested him, of course, but the State Attorney's office refused to press charges. In Florida, you have the right to use deadly force to recover something that's stolen from you. The Press went nuts, naturally. Too bad, it's the law. There's also no 'must retreat' law. Somebody's messing with you, somebody's trying to rob you? Blow him away and worry about it later.

Not that I would. A few stolen parts isn't worth shooting someone, IMHO. Not that he doesn't deserve it. It's just more hassle than it's worth.

But what I would have done (and I have done it) is snap a quick picture of the suspicious-looking baddy with my cell phone. If you're unarmed, snap a pic of his license plate as he's leaving. Done that, too.

Big time +2 on asking the dealer to review his security tapes. Unless it's been too long. They usually record over them every so often.

Your parts are gone. You'll probably never see them again unless you go to a swap meet and get lucky. Even then -- Sucks to be you if you can't prove ownership. And the Cops? Not interested in Property Crimes. Just -- Really not interested. Trust me on that one.

Why should they be? They arrest a thief, they gotta provide him with a free Attorney, they gotta feed him, cloth him, give him medical and dental care, and guard him. Costs a lot of money.

They're much more interested in giving you a DUI or a speeding ticket. They're getting rich on those. Billions (yes, BILLIONS, not millions) of dollars a year from speeding tickets, DUIs, etc. Not to mention the lawyers that are getting stinking rich 'defending' people who got DUIs. Another multi BILLION dollar business.

Even the Feds are involved. They're offering money (big money) to States that pass, and enforce, seat belt laws.

The Cops find your stolen parts? Right.

 

If it was my bike and I ever saw the sucker again, at the very least he'd be changing 4 tires on his truck.

 

That's some fuggin Bullchit!! Yeah don't worry about finding your stuff. At least you'll be more alert and vigilant if someone is standing next to your scoot. They just passed a "no permit required" to carry a concealed weapon as long as you meet the requirements here in Arizona. You can only threaten with deadly force to protect your property though. Shoot some dude for jacking a piece off your bike and you'll be sitting in a cell next to his retarded brother.

 

Sorry to hear that man. Thieves are worthless $hitbags.

 

Thats taking term stealership to a whole new level. Catch him and mess him up goodluck

 

Was thinking the same thinking the same thing^^.

Dang dude, that sucks.

 

OP, sorry to hear about this, that really sucks.............

The dealer here let's us park right up front by the service department with it's big front window to watch everything....

I park right up front in the blue handicap parking since I ride with a Disabled-Veteran tag. It pisses some people off, oh-well that's their issue not mine I have to live with the disability not them.
