If you are part of the white middle class, or worse, upper middle class like many who enjoy our sport, it's your fault. How dare you have any reasonable expectation that you be allowed to have a luxury in your life like a dirt bike and not have it stolen and redistributed to those less fortunate. I say "white" because its a true statement about the overwhelming majority of the participants in our sport and should not be construed as a racist statement.

Its also not a racist statement to single out the black males who are participating in this illegal activity. They (the criminals who steal bikes and ride them on the street) have no respect for law enforcement in this country. The have been empowered by the liberal media to cry racism anytime there is any focus on the black community and illegal activity. I have several friends in law enforcement who have said they see crimes committed in front of them daily while on duty but have been put in a position due to the pale color of their skin to have to look the other way. If they engage, there is a high percentage chance that their actions will be perceived as racially motivated and they will lose their career. I would imagine this sentiment is shared throughout many municipalities in this country.

Case in point: A "star football player" broke into a chevy dealer and was attempting to steal a car last year. The authorities were alerted and when they showed up they found him inside the showroom trying to steal a Camaro. During a physical confrontation with the young man, who was unarmed, a white police officer involved in the struggle shot and killed him. Long story short, the police chief was on TV not more than 12 hours later apologizing to the "victim's" family and the officer was charged. There was hardly ever any mention the fact he was committing a felony at the time.

The kids who are stealing dirt bikes hear stories like this everyday and don't need a ton a brain power to come to the conclusion that they can most likely get away with the theft as the police will look the other way due to wanting to avoid any potential backlash. That is why this activity has spread like wildfire to other urban areas around the country. Its obvious that something needs to be done, but with law enforcement actively trying to avoid any racial scrutiny their hands are tied.

It is time for owners to start sleeping in their shop for a little bit, take their buddies Smith & Wesson, or Glock or H&K and when the break in happens, take care of the situation quickly.

Surprised tracking devices are not installed on this bikes. Plenty of places to hide them

All bikes should come from the manufacturer with the ECU disabled. Should only be able to be enabled with the proper encryption key, a la the ransomware which has been floating around for so long.

Seems stupid that nobody has incorporated a wheel locking device into the floor of dealerships , maybe they will soon.

My grandpa had a shop in Detroit for 40 years, he always had a dog or 2 that were shop dogs and stayed there. A few times a year he would find a truck door open with a pant leg of someones pants nearby or shoe or some kind of clothing item of where the would be thief meeting a dog who didnt want them there.

Right, detonate as they roll the bikes past innocent people, or as the police catch them.

Sounds brilliant.

How about those stick on trackers that are the size of a credit card on bikes until sold. They are cheap as dirt now.

"Two of the teens were released to their parents, then arrested a second time shortly after in connection with a scooter shop burglary", according to Johnston.

This right here speaks volumes as to where the problem starts.

What are they called? My buddy has been looking for them to put on his bikes and almost all of them need some kind of battery supply to work.

The mayors of the cities need to go on TV with a message stating that officers have been given approval to shoot to kill anyone on a dirt bike on public roads who flees. It will end very quickly after a few handfuls are dead.

As a victim of bike theft (two of them), I have ZERO compassion for a fucking low life thief.
LOLOLOLOLOL GOOD LUCK!!!

They have actually done the OPPOSITE. They have a "no chase" policy. So if these turds decide to run (obviously will) the cops are not allowed to chase them.

This is important stuff to remember the next time you're prompted to vote on some law enforcement budget proposition.

They're always underfunded and understaffed lol.

Depends on the police dept and the area of crime. Small depts have one officer a shift, biiger depts are backed up on calls for service. Finding a dirt bike is low on the ladder of crimes.

It's burglary and grand theft.

What comes above this on the ladder of crimes?

I only ask because it seems to me that beyond nailing people for speeding or rolling stop signs(i.e. milking people out of their hard earned money), the ladder is is missing just about every rung below.

Hmm. Tell the people that get their bikes(or anything else of value) ripped of that no crime was committed against them. The property doesn't know any difference.

Just telling ya how it works, you are gonna hear what you want. , Go on a ride along in a busy metro area, high crime, maybe you will understand. Would you want the police to help a family member or chase a idiot on a stolen dirt bike? Police are short staffed., No chase policy.

I agree with you. I will also point out that recovering a stolen dirt bike requires a lot of paperwork for the cop. And most cops hate doing paperwork. Good friend of mine is a cop and works the graveyard shift. He will pretty much do all he can to not have to do paper work. He would prefer to stay on the street and be there for bigger fish. No fun catching a small fish and then going back to station to do paperwork for three hours and pretty much ending your shift in an office or intake center.

Reported stolen cases have been about the same since 2013. Only a 2% rise in total reported cases.

KTM's are being reported stolen at a rate 21% higher than 2015-2016.

Maybe the media reporting on these cases more often and the unified hatred for the "Wheelie Boyz" types fool many folks into believing this is a new nationwide pandemic.

I think thieves are quickly learning they can hit a dealership with a team of guys and everyone gets whatever they can push out of a busted window. Years past, they seemed to target individual folks and they might only get the 1 or 2 bikes in the garage, trailer, shed etc which took alot of time and planning to orchestrate.

These dealership smash & grab jobs are just chum in the water for media and internet forums....

I hate paperwork at my job too. But it's my job so I do it....

Cops just blow it off or do the minimum when they feel like being lazy
