Stolen KTM Riverbreeze RV Resort

[W.O.T]

My buddy is staying at the Riverview RV Resort on the river in Ehrenberg Az.

Woke up this morning and someone had cut his cable and the bike is gone. If anyone happens to see this bike please report it.

And Merry Christmas everyone!

[Mototrig]

Scumbag thieves

 

[RitcheyRch]

That sucks and I too hate thieves.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

That sucks, sorry to hear

 

[Heylam]

Hopefully insured

 

[DLC]

That’s one sweet scoot! Totally sucks getting robbed! And on Christmas

I hope your buddy gets it back

 

[Joe mama]

What a crock of shit!!!!hope he gets it back in good shape.

 

[4Waters]

I hope the thieves break their necks riding it.

 

[W.O.T]

Thanks guys yes I'm bummed out for him and hoping my riding buddy gets it back or a new one soon. I know a lot of people on the boards frequent the area so maybe someone will see something.

Unbelievable how screwed up some people are.

[Havasu Surfer]

Karma to the thieves. We just not be around to witness it.

'Zuki dual sport vs KTM....hmmm, wonder why yours is still there?

 

[2Driver]

Bummer.

Get a disk brake lock to add to what ever other locking device you use.

My Gixxer 600 was stolen despite a disc lock.

Pretty sure they lifted it up and tossed it into the back of a truck.

Did he have insurance?

 

[W.O.T]

No insurance.

Yeah the cable he used wasn’t very thick. I use a much larger cable but I am going to invest in something better after this.

Ouch? I bet his next bike is insured.

You could cement it down and thieves will still find a way to walk away with it. A friend of mine had his road glide stolen and it had a disk brake lock and was wedged between his truck and his garage. The thieves walked up with two of those 2x4 moving dollies, loaded it up, and rolled it out and down the street where they threw it a uhaul trailer.

[AJ Hoffman]

Guarantee ur bike is close by that place

 

[W.O.T]

I just talked to my buddy he’s still at the campground. He said a van was seen on Video driving around the campground at 2am.

The van was found and driver contacted by sheriffs in Blythe but no dirtbike in the van.

The guy claims he was just sleeping in the campground. No other vehicles were seen coming or going on the video.

My Havasu snowbird has two DR650's. He used to bring his down each year but loading/hauling it got to be a hassle, so he purchased another and leaves it in my garage year round now.
Cool old dude, goes riding and camping for weeks around the southwest.

...The DR 650’s have been called bulletproof ...might be a slight exaggeration but not by much...
...Mine gets transported on a rack on the front of my Ram...believe it or not you can still see at night...

I agree probably the same small group of losers responsible for most of the theft in the area.

 

[W.O.T]

The bike was recovered in Blythe the other day. My friend picked it up today. I haven’t got the whole story yet but my buddy said cops busted an 18yr old riding the bike. He’s been known for local thefts already. He had a pistol in his boot when the cops got him. The bike is pretty beat up and all the electrical and street legal lights have been removed from the bike. It’s been spray painted to disguise it you can see the difference if you look at the first pic I posted.

That’s so fucked up. Too bad we can’t just shoot thieves on sight

 

[Carlson-jet]

I say he does a small amount of time and a little probation.
As long as the P/C are good.. Back to ... Braaaaaap.
Still sucks.

His parents will probably pay for his attorney, continuing the fucked up parenting job they've been working on for 18 years.

 

[WhatExit?]

You could go to his place and steal all his shit but the only stuff he has is probably stolen. And if you got caught you'd be punished a lot more than him because you OWN STUFF

People who own things are punished all the time by the government (taxes), insurance companies, lawyers and the judicial system. We pay for the have-nots

 

[HCP3]

God this is terrible.

Does insurance (if any) wipe their hands of this since it was recovered? I mean, obviously the bike is trashed and nowhere near original condition, but im sure it 'runs'. Not trying to pour salt in the wounds. Only curious.

 

[Old Texan]

Restitution should be the kid/parents buying a new bike......If there was actual justice served. We all know how likely that will happen.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Damn that bike got fucked up. Sucks

 

[boatnam2]

Standard tweaker paint job, Had a bike or two stolen and they looked like this when they found them. You always know the shit is close by because they don't have a car that will get far. Good news is they are so dumb they ride it were they can be caught instead of the middle of the desert.

 

[Ziggy]

Now's a good time to insure it and secure it with a $2 bike lock.

The kid is 18 now, an adult. So if anyone pays restitution it will be him. Good luck with that! bummer

If it was insured, he could still go through the process of a claim for vandalism or malicious mischief after it was recovered and not in original condition. However, it may not be enough to satisfy a deductible.

More than likely he's a dependant 18. Maybe his parents are too, who knows. Ragardless, restitution is highly unlikely I'd assume.

Yup lots of options, but sadly things never seem to get back to what they were before asshole tweakers enter into the equation.

The thief will most likely strike again and someone else will have their life needlessly disrupted

Bikes this old, I do not know anyone who has insurance on the bike..
Now if it was Stolen, and not returned, then you could claim that on your taxes... in some cases you might be able to claim it under your home owners insurance policy..

But the deductible is quite high normally, and this would probably make your rates increase, cost you more in the end.

The fact he got it back is great, but the end result its still gonna cost him the owner $$ to get it back to the condition it was in. The only satisfaction will come from the Court/Judge on this case. I hope he teaches this kid the lesson he needs to learn.

I don't think that KTM is that old...and KTM's hold their value. I'm a little surprised the owner didn't have coverage on the bike. I just bought a 2014 KTM 500 EXC and I have full insurance on it since its plated. The expensive part of the policy is the uninsured motorist part. The comp/collision coverage is cheap.

Most home insurance policies have restrictions on CC's for vehicles that are stolen (my company is 49cc) and is designed only to cover mopeds, go karts, cushmans etc and would be subject to the home insurance deductible (most people don't go any lower than 1k on the home deductible)

With a lot of policies you can play a game with their "minimum required premium." For example, our motorcycle system won't allow the policy to be less than $100 (any lower than that and its not worth our time or paperwork) so a lot of times we can have at least comprehensive coverage (if it gets stolen) for the same price as liability only so why not have the extra coverage.

Based on the plastics, and forks. I am quite confident that bike is 2005-2007, model...
Alot of bikes had black fork tubes in 2006...

 

[King295]

Everything I own is insured, that way in the event a tweaker gets it out of my fortress of locks/theft deterrents I am covered. All agreed-upon value policies for well more than I am into them.
