We hate thieves. KJSC had 10 bikes stolen last night in ATL, and they're looking for help with recovery. Also, their sponsors are circling the wagons to make sure they'll be ready for next weekend in Toronto.

If you have any info, you can contact KTM at ktmjrsx@ktm.com

Identifying parts:
•Custom Nihilo Stator and Clutch cover with engraved KJSC logos
•FMF Exhaust system
•ProTaper Mini Bars
•Unique ProTaper Orange/White mini grips
•ProTaper rear sprocket
•KJSC Graphics
•Dunlop Tires with Dunlop Stickers

Freaking Atlanta. I live here and have had bikes stolen. Insurance is a must. They can blast through locks like nothing.

I'm becoming less and less bummed about ATL being off the schedule for coming years. Screw you thieves!

Why don't the police use bait bikes with gps to catch and lock these guys up? I don't get it.

You are incorrect. It's on the schedule for upcoming years, in the new stadium.

Stealing a dirt bike is a pretty damn low thing to do, but stealing 10 kids dirt bikes being used by the youth of our sport to live their dream for 1 night is just disgusting.

Haha valid statement sir. I think the saying is "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." I'll be more discerning. Cool

Where was this? I was in the pits after the race over by Dungey's trailer and saw them load all the KJSC bikes in their respective KTM trailer. Driver make a stop after leaving the dome and someone broke in the rig?

I expect to see an abundance of KTM 50s featured on MX Fails videos in the coming months.

I wonder why they stopped at 10 bikes. They could've taken all 16 of them.

The bikes were stolen Sunday night. The thieves broke in thru the side door and managed to take 10 of 18 bikes. They either ran out of room or ran out of people or got spooked.

They also took a bin full of KJSC team jackets.

FYI- The KJSC race is happening this weekend as the program has an amazing team with some awesome sponsors that stepped up and will overnight parts to CAN to build 10 new bikes.

The kids racing in Toronto WILL race this weekend.

I was there all 3 days. Would have been so easy to steal bikes Sunday for amateur day. 800 bikes just laying all around

I doubt you're going to find that with any team when they're at hotels.

Because they may wind up having to shoot one of the thieves and then all the liberals would be in an uproar!
Sorry, just in one of those moods. But ya'll know it's true!!

How the hell do you steal 10 bikes though. That seems crazy. Must have had a bunch of people and rigs which at that point I could hardly believe they could be stealth like. Or sneaky
