Title: Stolen Monster from Long Island 5/29 Recovered-6/1 Post by: speedknot on June 09, 2011, 06:40:43 PM Just figured I would share this one. I got my Duc stolen from the parking lot of Riteaid pharmacy in Oakdale, NY. I was in there for maybe 10 minutes and when I came out it was gone. I shot back inside and asked the manager to see the video of the parking lot. The video showed 3 guys wheeling the bike around the corner and down the side street. Before calling the police, I went down the side street and started knocking on doors to see if anyone say something. One neighbor said that two houses down from him is a house full of rowdy young men who ride bikes and are always in trouble with the police. I knocked on that door and not surprising, no one answered. After making the report, I got a ride home and got my van and surveilled the suspect house for a few hours at night but came up empty. I thought for sure that the bike would be parted out and sold in no time but I got a call from the local cops a few days later that it was recovered in North Bellport. No. Bellport is a shithole. The report read that the patrol cop observed the driver riding the bike without a helmet and when he ran the plate, it came back stolen. Upon attempting to pull him over, the jerk-off fled and dumped the bike a few blocks away and took off on foot. Cops didn't get him. I got my bike back on 6/1 with some damage but fixable.
I just got the bike back from the shop on 5/27 and it was jacked on 5/29. My new tires look like they were put through the ringer. Being that I really love the style of my bike, I wanted this Duc back in serviceable shape as opposed to getting a new one. Its going to cost me about $1800 in mechanical and cosmetic repairs that the insurance will cover.

I got the check in the mail from the insurance company this morning and the parts are on order. Progressive took care of this very quickly. I should be motoring again in a few weeks.

(I mean good for you) but who rides a stolen bike without a helmet...he should try to still some brains instead of bikes next time.
p.s- respect for knocking on the door like a man first, and then surveying the house...very beastly. |
