Hi all,

Night before last some theiving scroat broke in to my garage and nicked both mine and a friends CRF's. Both bikes are pretty distinctive and were stolen from the Goole area.

2007 CRF 250R

Black with kingdom/enjoy graphics
Rims painted black
Red bars
Grey renthal grips
Black brand new renthal rear sprocket with gold DID chain
Front disc protector and rear caliper guard painted black.
Black rear spring from 450 painted by me.
Rear shock has k-tech sticker on it.
Red front fork air bleeders

2006 CRF 250R

Red with monster energy graphics
Rims painted black
silver oversized bars
Red brand new renthal rear sprocket with gold DID chain
shift? black gear lever
silver front fork bleeders

Any help in finding these would be much appreciated and I'm sure a small reward could be arranged for their safe return.

I know this isn't Falco based but being a Falco owner and this seems to be the most used section of the site I thought I would ask for help here.

Thanks in advance. Mike

Moved to Portal news, and edited the first post slightly for the portal page view.
Hope you find it soon. I bloody hate thieving bastards.. my BW50 was stolen a year or so ago and turned into a submarine in the local canal.

Got it back but total writeoff.

Doubt that will happen with a pair of CRF's though.

Thanks. Have now sent email to tmx. I am now thinking it might have been someone local as they removed the exhaust bungs before they removed it from the garage which means they were planning on riding them somewhere and you wouldn't want to ride far in the dark out here in the middle of nowhere without lights. I don't fancy my chances of getting them back but if you don't try you don't get.

It sucks, really does.

While on the subject of stolen bikes, we should all note the following when selling on Ebay.

Stolen, ZX9R 2002 E2 GREEN with black streaks GK51KRU has been stolen from Croydon South Norwood Hill today around 5pm A Large White Van with 2 men did it. The theives Stole it buy and cutting the 2 chains off the bike and put it in the van. Neighbours got the vans registration and called the police but they were too late! Cant believe they just drove into a quiet residential road and used an angle Grinder to cut the chains off. Was stolen from my road after advertising it on Ebay. If you have any info REPORT IT TO THE LOCAL POLICE.

I know a fair number of bikes and kit are sold by forum members on Ebay. Just be careful, eh?

MH, Hope your bike turns up. If it's someone local youve got a fighting chance. Fingers crossed for you.

Did they get recovered in the end?

Afraid not. I still have a daily search on ebay in case either one turns up but kind of given up hope now.

Sorry to hear that. I'll leave the thread on the front portal for a while longer as stranger things have happened.
