The lowest form of life, a no good thief! I am sorry about your scooter Dude but I am a firm believer in pay back, karma, what ever you want to call it, they will get thiers!! I hope you had good insurance and you can get back in the saddle soon. I agree, watch craigslist and so on. It would also not hurt to go to local indy dealers for a good 100 mile radius and have them report to you "good deals" on parts!!

Hope they catch them man! That really blows.
With the economy in the tank the way it is I suspect we are gonna hear a lot more of this crap. I keep as good an eye on mine as I can, even at work I'll have the security can pulled up on my PC and keep an eye On mine as much as possible.
Sorry to hear about your bike. I am willing to bet that your bike will not end up in a shop anywhere for repairs. It will most likely be parted out or get a new set of VIN's and be registered as a custom build. A lot of bike thieves will strip the bike, buy new cases that come with a Certificate of Origin and a new frame that comes with a Certificate of Origin and use the parts off of the stolen bike and the new parts to build a bike. For less than $3,000.00 they have an untraceable bike. They use the Certificate of Origin paperwork to register the bike as a custom build. Then turn around and sell it for a nice profit.
Hmm sounds like you have some experiance?
OP sorry for your loss. Keep checking craigs list and ebay.
That's messed up, I hope the karma turns around and burns 'em.
If caught, I'd make the thief pay in or out of jail- cons need the money so it would fairly easy to get inside justice. It makes you want to join a club so they will be too scared to even step on your block. Good luck man.
Save all your receipts and get riders on your insurance for all your parts guys. It makes people want to buy that S&M socal yankee is talking about.
Sorry to here about that. Hope you get it back undamaged.
I use a few things to hope they choose an easier target.
Xena XX-14 disk lock with 120 db alarm on the front rotor.
Master lock disk lock on the rear.
Master lock Street Cuffs bike to bike or to a suitable anchor.
