That takes ***** to steal a front rim like that. Years back in Daytona they would just insert pipes in the front and rear wheels and lift it right in a truck or trailer and be gone in seconds.
I hate a thief and a liar. Carma is all I can say.

How would they be able to stand it upright without a wheel?

We get 3-4 bike thefts and a couple truck/trailer claims every year after Daytona. Just got a F-450 and trailer with 4 bikes claim yesterday. They spent the night at a hotel on the way back home, came out in the morning and poof it's gone.

Chick I'm friends with had her Softail Custom stolen right off the street while she and her bf were in a restaurant down there a couple years ago. Witness said 4 dudes jumped out of the back of a box truck, stuck long bars through the front and rear wheel and loaded it right up in a matter of about 20 seconds. Glad my Deuce has a solid rear wheel.lol

Good point, watch for U-Haul trucks with 4 dudes in the cab cruising around Daytona at 3am.

It is not ***** that they have. It is knowledge that if they get caught, at worst, they will get $100 bail and will most likely get probation. Thieves have more rights than law-abiding citizens these days.

I would like to see Daytona pass a law that any thief caught would be dragged from a bike down main street a few times.

Where were all the carriers to help a fellow biker?

Over here people would just make a video for the tube as we are not allowed to have and carry in public.
