Guys -
I thought I would pass this onto you. A guy here in DFW had his bike stolen, and recovered it.
my bike was stolen yesterday morning at 7:15. It was located at 9:30 pm that night when my GPS system became active again, and I just got back from recovering it. It had been stolen from my apartment complex and taken to a rent-a-unit storage area in Southwest Dallas.
My bike's in pretty good shape. But just as good is that a 2001 Suzuki Hayabusa was in the unit right next to mine, and it came up stolen as well when the cops ran the VIN. According to the police, it was stolen in the Grand Prairie area last Friday, the 16th.
Here are pics of everything. I got pics of some distinguishing marks on the Busa that the owner should recognize. They have removed the front fairings, the seat, and the rear seat handle, but everything seemed to be there and in decent condition. I'm not real familiar with Busas so I could be wrong. The cops will be contacting the owner of the Hayabusa either today or Monday, not sure which. But if you're positive that it's your bike, contact me and I'll tell you where it is and you can go get it now.
Here's a point for the good guys. When the owner of the business gets back in town today, the cops will find out who the unit was rented out to and then place a felony charge on the culprits. And who knows? They might have 10 more units rented at the same place full of bikes. If I hear anything like that happening, I'll let everyone know.
Finally, one for the good guys. I am going to be looking into these GPS systems myself. The guy that installed his does it for $379 + tax. No monthly service fees, just $49 for 20 contacts. This means when the bike is moved 1 degree, for more than two seconds, you will be called on your home phone, cell phone, and work. This is one contact. Here is the companies website.
