XT600E nicked: that didn't take long

Just had a text from Donald Deasy. The XT600E he had off me...

....well, someone else has had it off him. Nicked from his brother's
gaff. They cut through two chains to take it, too.

FFS.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older

FFS indeed.

Cunts.

 

A scrote magnet in Glasgow? What did he expect, ffs?

 

Oops.

Has he ever considered moving somewhere less pikey? ;-)

Indeed - 'anging is too good for 'em, m'lud.

This was in London, Thamesmead to be precise. A molotovs throw from the
high security prison.

Looks like they made light work of the chain anchoring it. No sign of
the chain I had on the front.

 

Oops - proper shit round there, even by 'shit bits of London' standards.

A few Molotovs would be the kindest thing for that whole stretch from
Plumstead through to Gravesend... and even then it's debatable whether you
should stop there or plough on to Medway and the Isle of Sheppey.

Tossers.

A bit extreme as a way of ducking the Elefant. Not seen a swerve like it
since the Frankfurt Run.

 

Oh no. That sucks big time.

 

Thamesmead is a fucking shithole. There's no way I'd park a bike up in
open view round there. Have you checked the marshes the other side of
Erith?

 

It was in my brothers covered garage area attached to the back of the
house. You would have to come into a cul de sac to see it.

We'd both been drinking this evening so no search party allowed, might
get stabbed he said.

Brother reckons it'll already be in the marshes if it was local scrotes.
If I can persuade him to point out a few likely places on the map I
might have a wander round tomorrow. Then again I may just cut my losses
and do some more sightseeing.

 

My commiserations to the owner - however makes me
feel better already. I was sorely tempted by the
machine and saw the TOG msg quite early but I
decided that if parked outside where
I live, its life expectancy might be rather short.

Sarff Lunnon.

CB500 it is then? I know it makes sense.

 

Bloody hell, that estate's notorious. People keep their dentures in
their pockets as they walk around, else they'd get nicked.

"The prison of Belmarsh and the audacious, decorative and inventive
sewage processing works "

Sounds lovely.

 

Indeed, this blows.

 

I did warn him that dirt bikes are a scrote magnet, but with two bloodyt
chains on it. I supposed they chopped one and just dragged the bike with
the second in place.

Why am *I* pissed off, I wonder? Same reason as I was when the Z400 I
sold to Petrolcan went walkies: I put a fair bit of cash and effort into
both bikes. Bah.

 

Bastards didn't even let it cool down did they ...

 

I think there's a short period of time after selling a bike where you
still regard it as "your bike".

 

They'd put CCTV up round there, only they know the cameras would get lifted
fairly soon afterwards.

That was the first question the Police asked, was there any surveillance
camera ?

 

Actually, that's rather true. I think the giveaway sign is if you
stand in the road to watch the new owner depart on it, thinking:
"Bloody good bike, that... Perhaps I shouldn't be selling it."

 

It's not expensive these days & it works a treat.
