You are very lucky they didn't take the bags too!
I know others have said this before,"Lock it up!"
"Cover it up"
Years back my bud rode his 06 SG to church. He came riding in the parking lot all proud of his bike. He was so proud that he forgot to lock it up. After church his hard bags were gone! Anything on the bike that was quick detach or wasn't screwed down "gone".
Church of all places in a small midwestern town.
Thieves don't have any "values" or "morals". But get a little more discouraged when its locked and covered.

For added insurance,
how about adding a shape charge under the seat?

Just watched Taken again last night. Liam Neeson goes through bad guys like a light saber through Droids. Great movie.

I think I'd be parking the bike where I could keep an eye on it better. The way the bags get stolen, be sure to replace the catch mechanism with bolts from the inside. Something ain't right at your job, man.

I'd remove the sign, lock things up, and go for the cover option. I think the kind of jerks that do that are only going to be challenged by the note and say to themselves, "I'll show you".... You might alert security at your work for some increased vigilance in watching the parking lot. It's a shame there are folks like this out there, but the world is full of folks that have NO respect for others property. Does you work facility have cameras in the parking area for increased protection? Might be a recommendation to the senior leadership to relieve the level of frustration of everyone, not just you. If they're doing that to your bike, they're also hitting the cars as well. Petition time?

I hate people messing with my bike as much as the next guy. Take the high road and leave a little note simply stating, "To those childish enough to touch something that isn't yours, please grow up and keep your hands to yourself in the future".

When I had my 99 Heritage, the rocker box gaskets were leaking so I would get an oily mist on the derby cover. Guy at work wrote his name in it. I laughed it off and got some oil on my finger and wrote my name on his driver side mirror on his truck. We both laughed it off and it never happened again.

I can understand you being upset but that is way too extreme. Don't post a sign just find who did it and take care of them.

No sense in tempting some AH.

Sounds like somebody at work is messing with you. Heck, probably even a friend of yours pulling your chain there.

If it bothers you, do the $6 Radio Shack siren mod that I and many others here have posted about. Let the alarm go off on them, and let them look like a jackass to those that see them.
