FFS - fooking c****
I really really really really hope that you get your baby back 
Gutted for you mate, I hope the theiving c***s die a horrible death.
Real sorry to hear the news mate. Must be real pros to have got through all that security. Best of luck with the insurance, don’t see how they can argue that it wasn’t secure enough!
I had a £165 lock and chain, and they cut straight through it with bolt cutters. Needless to say an angry email will be winging it’s way to the company!
Which company would that be ?
Name & shame !
Man, that is crap ! especially considering I have the same bike except the K5 version… mine is also ground anchored but hopefully my Almax chain will stand up to the bolt croppers, then again I am thinking about getting a K6 750… 
Sorry to hear that, not another one. Fingers crossed for you!
Sorry to hear about your bike, this really getting out of hand, what do we have to do to stop these scum.
Like everyone else I’ll keep a look out and I hope that you see her again.
There is a big problem, London wide, regarding the theft of recent sports bikes. They are being targeted by organised gangs, who previously were probably involved in high value car theft. Newish cars are now very very hard to steal without the keys. Some of the gangs now burgle home to get the keys others have moved into bikes. They often transport them in old fridge/freezer transit type vans as the insulation stops the bike alarm being heard from outside as they are driving along.
The daytime thieves tend to tour around Central London, looking at bikes parked in parking bays and open air car parks. When they spot a bike they want they will drive up, jump out, smash the locks (invariable left convenientlt dragging along the ground) with a large sledgehammer, throw the bike in the back of the van and drive off. They are on scene for less than 2 minutes. It would be almost impossible for the police to attend the scene within that time. It’s highly unlikely that any 999 call would have had a unit assigned within that time.
The night time thieves will follow a high value sports bike and suss out where it is kept, and then under cover of darkness remove the bike. They may be on scene for a lot longer but again the likelyhood of being caught in the act is small.
Both types of thieves (and they may actually be the same people) are likely to store a bike in a garage for 24-48 hours to see if it has a tracker fitted.
There is a central squad that deals with large scale thefts , and they are aware of the problem. They are probably running several such operations as we speak. Unfortunately these operatios take ages to set up, and if you have had a bike stolen to order the chances of seeing it again are small.
These bikes are also being used more and more in crimes such as robbery, as we all know, catching a fast bike in a car in central London is very very hard.
The only thing that as bikers we can do is be vigilant. If you see people skulking around in a Transit sized vehicle near where lots of bikes are parked, write down the registration number, and what the occupants look like and call the police. This is where you will meet your first hurdle. Many of the call takers for the police have, in my opinion, inadequate training, and are unaware of what to do about such calls where a crime actually hasn’t been committed. They will often tell you that if no crime has been committed there is nothing they can do. Insist that they record details of the call, and ask for a CAD number (if in London). If they refuse to take the details ask to speak to a supervisor.
If you think you are being followed home, take a detour round the block, and see if they are still behind you. Remember they may well be riding a bike. Try and record their details, including description of the bike, registration number, and a description of what the rider is wearing. Then call your local police station with the details. Again they may not to be too keen to record what has happened but insist that they make a record of it. If you should be unlucky enough to have your bike taken give the reference number to the person who reports it.They should then be in a position to investigate.
Also if you suffer a theft, don’t be put off if the police don’t attend. In almost all cases it makes no difference as to how the offence is investigated. I would however suggest making your own enquiries with neighbours (and neighbouring businesses especially if they have CCTV or on site security) and if anyone has seen anything suspicious passing those details to the crime management unit at the police station that is investigating the crime quoting your crime reference.
Don’t get too paranoid, but do be vigilant.
And please don’t ask me how I know about the above.
