Stolen Ducati 899 2014

What a shitter, sorry to here this

 

Sorry to hear about this. The number of Dukes being stolen lately seems disproportionally high. DUCATI need to set up a worldwide alert to all their dealers with stolen VIN numbers as these are held in the ECU now.

 

This is getting crazy, if I was a conspiracy theorist I'd suspect inside job, Dvla, police, Ducati .....I'm not but this is absurd it's not like a Ducati is on every street.

On a side note maybe Ducati owners should en mass not buy cheap parts, I know we all like a bargain but it's supply and demand.

 

Hmm this is quite scary. Panigales seem to be the most stolen bike at the moment.

 

It's the third 899 in as many days, and that's just on this forum.

Any tracker, as the other two did and it made no difference?

 

Proper shit. When will it all stop?!

When someone catches these scrapes and removes their hands, that's when!!!

 

this is getting really bad.

 

Sorry to hear, any news has it been located,

this is one of the reasons I have bike trac fitted to both my ducati's

 

I have Biketrac too. Two other 899's got taken last week and they both had the biketrac units removed within about 15 minutes.

 

Oh,

do you know where they where taken from

 

One was over Park Royal. Can't remember the other.

 

Where about in dalston mate? Was it locked up? I am around the area quite often and just want to know where to avoid. Sorry about the loss.

 

I hope the bike gets returned in one piece! Horrible isn't it. I had my bike stolen yesterday. It was recovered within an hour due to the bike trac. Definitely a must have.

 

Good to hear it works on some occasions and that I'm not wasting my money

 

Can I ask, was it worth returning? Did it have any damage? Insurance claim anyway?

I do wonder, having had bikes back and had to repair myself and probably cost more in the long run that simply taking the money and replacing.

 

Guy on Facebook has just had his BMW recovered (Biketrac). Ripped the seat off, breaking the subframe. Ripped out the alarm wiring and battery. Steering lock also broken. I bet that will all cost a pretty penny to repair.
