Default Stolen Bike

I hope your insurance takes care of you the right way. Please keep us informed. As another poster stated, usually once a bike is stolen, you don't want it back as the MFrs probably beat the chit out of it or strip what they want an you end up with a basket case. Good luck to you.

Best thing would be is the thieves get caught and shot on site! I hate thieves!

That is absolutely amazing-- I know how busy Tokyo and in particular that station is--not to mention how big it is. Karma was surely on his side that day!

I don't know my tag number off hand but I can get it in less that a minute through the Indiana BMV website.

There are a couple of bikes stolen here at work every year, when they aren't stealing other vehicles or tailgates. The lot is well covered with security cameras but for some reason they never seem to be pointing that direction when something goes missing.

Well no news other than the police Vehicle theft task force called me, and asked more questions.
The question I keep asking myself is do I make that claim on my homeowners insurance to recover the contents of the bags , like a snap-on road side tool kit , a Garmin zumo 550, Gerbing plug-in gloves, vinyl bags, disk lock with tether, leather harley jacket, rain gear, chapps, harley rain gloves,rinding glasses, rain riding goggles, kickstand disk, first aid kit, tire repair kit, a leather harley belt (wifes), and probably more that I can't think of. home owners is $1000.00 deductible.
Plate # 32077 by the way

I can take humor, it is just the unknown right now that has me a bit scared.
