Damn! That is such a shame. Sorry to hear about your loss. Glad to hear that none of you got hurt. Did the video catch the faces of who did it or anything to help LEO track the bikes?

no idea. info is minimal there. but there are enough eyes here that maybe someone might see something. figured I'd share if there is even a chance. I can't imagine the thought of losing all that. Seems professional, not random theft to me.

The good thing here is that most of that stuff, with the exception of the Softy is pretty unique. Other than the RK being black, it's a pretty one off bike. Hopefully he finds them. We had 3 brand new MX race bikes stolen from our shop about 10 years ago and I'd still shoot the person in the nuts with a 12g if I could find out who did it.

What pisses me off is that they were able to circumvent the security on the new Toyota. I drive a Toyota and until now I felt confident that no one was going to drive away with it. Now I have second thoughts.

I think I am going to have to go back to putting "The Club" back on the steering wheel and maybe putting a cut-off switch on the fuel pump.

Some people just have nothing better to do than take other people's stuff. Geez!

Truck and trailer will be recovered , minus the trailer contents. Modern vehicles can be stolen with cloned key fobs.
Unique black out style of the T&T suggests thieves knew what was in the trailer.
Condolences.

Not that it helps anyone here, but that's the reason I don't plaster a bunch of HD decals on my enclosed trailer or my pickup truck.

The victims in the OP's story might want to consider the wisdom of riding and showing-off their custom Harleys a long way from the security of their own garage.

The thieves probably had buyers waiting for those bikes.

I agree, if you haul Harleys in a trailer, mark it with Jose's Landscape Service.
