My FJ Has Been Nicked

Last night thieving bastards got into my garage and stole my 95 FJ1200. They opened a rolla door and had to drag our caravan out of the way as it was blocking the door.  Nothing else was taken, I have a lot of tools etc in there. Cops have been and a forensic fingerprint team is on its way. Hopefully they will get the bastards. They may not have been too smart as one of them discarded an empty cigarette pack.
I'm thinking it was targeted for its engine which is a popular donk for Legends racing http://www.aussieracingcars.com.au/
It is insured.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Hope they catch the germs.

 What a bloody drag Krusty. Let's hope your insurance makes good on this. The pain never goes away, but you can learn to live with it. Keep us up to date .
  Good luck man,

 What a horrible thing to do. I can't imagine being so desperate that I would resort to stealing other people's stuff. I hope your insurance company looks after you.  Best of luck finding back your beast.

Damn,

Real sorry to hear of your loss, while I do hope the cops get the thieving bastards, take solace in the knowledge that there is a special place in hell for buggers that pinch a blokes bike...

Sorry about that. Seems like a lot of work for an FJ !  I hope you get it back in one piece.  It is upsetting to have your privacy invaded to say the least.  In the past I have just had liability insurance on the old FJ but recently have been thinking about adding a small replacement value policy before the next riding season.

Still bummed hearing about your experience. They obviously have followed you home or live in the area. I hate thieves....

Bastards.

Might it be time to start looking for a new legends engine? If they're stupid they might try to sell it. (They are thieves, after all.) Hopefully they don't already have a cart to put it in.

Man, if I caught someone in my garage doing that, I'd probably wind up in prison.
They'd certainly wind up pushing daisies.

So sorry, I hope you get your FJ back in one piece.  As with airheadpete , I would more than likely get myself in trouble with the legal system dealing with the criminals myself.

Stinking Bastards! I've had 2 cars stolen before, I hate thieving pricks with a passion. I'm hoping you get your pride and joy back unmolested.

I was talking to a cop after our second car went missing and I said they should bring in Saudi law, steal something and one of your hands gets lopped off, makes it damn harder to steal something next time,  he agreed. :diablo:

Bastards! I must admit I'm pretty slack about security and leave the keys in it more than I should when I'm out, after all, who would bother pinching a 22 yo bike with so much modern stuff out there? clearly someone!
I never thought of the Legends engine angle.

Glad to hear it was insured, but getting the money back is only part of the story when a victim of theft, particularly when it's from your own home, it's and unsettling experience.

I hope it has a satisfactory outcome (they catch the pricks before they lay a hand on the bike)
