'02 Atlanta SX... On press day (Friday) while I was out walking the track, somebody came into my pit, grabbed both my 125 and 250, and proceeded to push them, along with my gear and helmet out of the pits to who knows where. I cam back from the track walk to find only my toolbox and a lawn chair in my pit. I was loaned a 125 by another rider, that blew up on the 3rd lap of practice. Waited 4 hrs at the track for a LEO to take a theft report and they never showed. What a waste of a weekend.
Damn. I bet it was the Atlanta chapter of the wheelie boys who stole them.

How about a feel good story?
In between moto's at a local race, I see a little bastard who is prolly 13 or 14 headed into the wood with my buddy's helmet...safe to say I knew he wasn't going back there to clean it for him, I ran him and his little rat pack down. I didn't punch him but he was laying on the ground when I left.

Back in the 80's I had a pair of platic Scott boots stolen when riding from the back of my truck ( I was wearing High points )and did not like the Scotts ) .

A couple months later I found the little shithead who stole them when riding in the same area . I gave him a choice get your face smashed in and keep them or take them off and give them back . I got em back and left him him there in the bottom of a deep canyon with no way to push start or kick start his bike in his socks .

Memorial Day race at Sweeney Cycle Park, Brush CO., some a-holes, in the middle of the night, stole the track owners $4000 Yamaha Generator used for the scoring building power.
I've been cautious but very lucky over the years, only things ever I've ever noticed missing were 2 of my chrome valve caps off my Weekend Warrior. Punk Kids!

Never had anything stolen in all our time. But once, one of my son's competitors poured a big bottle of water in the gas tank of his 450YZF. When his moto came up, he started the bike and rode to the line. Idled there for a while, and it died and wouldn't start. He missed the second moto. I had to go out of town that week for work, so I dropped it off at the shop so they could have it ready for next week. When I came, I said what did you find? They said look in that big bottle. There was more water in it than gas. It was a beautiful day that day. I never even had to wash the bike. I'm pretty sure I know who did it, but I'm just glad it died before he went out on the track to race.

A bag of Dorito's. ......................Quite a few years ago (+20 years) my 'so called friends' raided my parents cooler and groceries while we were getting my trophy for 125 Expert class. The only reason I knew it was them who took our food was because I saw them eating the Dorito's as they passed us on the way driving out the gate. My parents were so pissed. I got the last laugh though.............that 'crowd' has spent alot of time in jail/prison for various things.

Had a winter yamaha coat stolen out of the back of my van in the winter at an indoor race but it was replaced with a thong. So I assumed someone got it in in the back of van while everyone was in watching the races.

Same thing happened to me once. Lesson learned, don't travel to a race with people you don't already know well just to save a little money. "Lost" a jacket, boots, gas can and bike stand that trip too.

Subway sandwiches out of the cooler. Didn't touch the drinks, chips or snacks....not to mention the tool box that was sitting 5ft away. I came to three possible explanations:

1. The thieves simply had a craving for Subway
2. My buddy snuck back to the truck & ate both our sandwiches
3. Raccoons

Had a ninja turtles beach towel stolen from me at loretta lynns in 97. I was so pissed. It was my favorite towel. Hanging on the motorhome awning.

If it was someone that posts on vital now a days, if you could send it back to me, that be cool!

Some asshole stole my 3 month old '84 RM250 when I walked away to watch a 125 expert moto at Mosier Valley.
