Next time ask us to rescue you....we'll say no because we're pissed....
but it's nice to be asked

Another theft technique I've heard of similar to what you guys are talking about is they super glue up your ignition or disc lock so you can't move the bike, and pick the bike up that night. watch yourselves people.

I did forget, but now I remember

They have no sense of direction

Hope the cops are able to get a rego number or more details

When you're ready, get my number off Seiko, give me a call and I can meet you at the shop where I used to work to get you a good deal on a new one!

Don't believe in Karma, as to have something bad happen to you then you have done something bad to someone else. Well that is the logic behind Karma.

The stupidity of this twat stealing the helmet or anyone stealing a helmet is this -

They are not like a condom, one size does not fit all. An ill fitting helmet is potentially as dangerous as no helmet. Once you have worn a helmet in it is shaped to your head (as ugly as it is) so whilst two people may share the same size once worn it will not fit others as well. Lastly who wants a second helmet that you have sweated in. I have some old underpants if they are interested.

So the market for used condoms is pretty small then? Bugger. So much for eBay.

So do I.

Still fitted to my head !

Bit hard to steal a lid when its still attached to the owner .....

thus confirming my long-held belief that you are always better off leaving your lid on when paying for petrol !

And sitting on the bike whilst filling...so they dont steal that too

fuck mate thats no good ......... some ppl just dont know wot it is to be a biker........ coz ya never do that shit to another rider thy will proble flog it off to cashies and shoot it up

Damn it. I hate reading shit like this. Especially in the situation that you were in with your son.

Check eBay too!

WTF! man, im sorry to hear this daniel, farkin theives! hope the boy's ok and not too shaken up by it all,
take my bloody wallet or my watch, but not my farkin lid!
hope she turns up matey, she was a beautiful lid!

I've tried this, but they won't turn the pump on while i'm still wearing it. Has happened a couple of times now.

bought one at the bike expo but haven't used it yet. probably should start using it

Group Buy might tnot be a bad idea...

But to OP - seriously i hope the cops do something about it (sadly the reality is they wont, as its something of small value - compared to a bike or car) i don't even like securing mine under the seat when i can see the bike. But at a servo, thats pretty brazen So sorry to hear. Fingers crossed for you.

Yeh theres some low life oxygen thieves out there

back when I was bicycling around I once had someone hop over the brick wall @ the the back area at work, steal my helmet and the seat off my bike but left the rest of the bike... ???? never could figure out why they just didn't take the lot

I once lived in a secure appartment that required chipped keys and had multiple doors to get in.

I left the lockup garage downstairs in the carpark open while moving some boxes up into my room and within a single trip someone pinched my beloved bike... >:-(

I doubt the theif is a rider Nick, more likely a druggy looking for some quick cash at the pawn broker/cash converters
