Well it happened last night....
Some MF stole my KLR. So for all of you in and around NYC be careful, they
are stealing KLRs again. They will cut down the street signs to steal them,
because they can't break Cryptonite chains and locks. I hope the MF who
stole mine breaks his spine on it. He took the only thing I enjoyed.

Sorry to hear you lost your bike! That is just wrong!
I have a curiosity question, how was it locked up? In the past when needed, I have used a bicycle lock through the front tire and disc brake rotor, you know those U shaped locks. One has to be mindful of it of course or you could try to take off with it in place! Unless they loaded it up in a pick-up, it would nearly impossible, or at least extremely difficult to ride off with your bike.
I hope they find the rat bastard that stole your bike and let you kick him in the arse a few times!

Really sorry to hear that. I hope the SOB ends up under the wheels of a
garbage truck, while your bike sustains minor, cosmetic damage.
And I'll be extra careful, thanks for the warning.

That's a drag. I wish they'd treat motorcycle thieves like they
used to horse thieves: 9 wraps in the knot makes it a legal rope.

I am so sorry to hear that your bike was stolen. I had a motorcycle
stolen. I know the pain you are going through. It never goes away,
but does lessen slightly as the years pass. The best thing is to get
a replacement if you can afford to.
Did you have insurance on it?
Please post both the frame (VIN) and engine serial numbers here on
this list so that if one of the 1500 list members sees it they can
call the cops (after beating the crap out of the guy). There are
also several stolen bike registries on the internet, I strongly
recommend that you post both of these numbers at each of them and
post to the usenet list rec.motorcycles and any similar lists. I
didn't follow up with my bike as I could have and I regret it now,
years later. We should make life for thieves as difficult as we can.

I will personally keep an eye out, if you post the serial numbers. Also,
any identifying marks, dents, mods etc? Anything that would help me pick
your KLR out among others?

I agree whole heartedly...Also, fil, were there any mods that would
be easy to spot or scratches or any other distinguishing
characteristics? I see KLRs all the time on my way to and from work
and would love to help get your bike back.

Thank you all for offering to help, the bike was "loaded"; progresive
springs, forkbrace, ss brakelines, green galfer pads, pirelli mt90 tires,
black acerbis hand guards, center stand. There was a givi top rack for my
givi top case which is sitting on my floor(thank god for that), most of the
bike was in the mint condition except for some scratches on the back plastic
from the saddle bags. It also had that kawi saddlebag support thingy. If you
look on the back fender you will see a small whole which I drilled to push
the wires to connect the topcase brake light. Also the the seat head pirelli
logo embeded into it from me carying tires to a shop. Muffler is stock but
missing the head from (last/first) screw used for carbon cleaning. Ah yes it
had also a realy loud horn on the bike. Also there was discoloration next to
the speedo from my clock and the handle bar is a bit scratcjed from my
keys....... And yes I am waiting to see what will the insurance company do
for me.... Damn I guess I spent to much time on my bike when I know every
inch of it inside out...
thanks
