Hey guys, I am from Tulsa OK and run a car/bike club here, one of my members told me about the theft so I have posted it on our forum and several other local forums here in town, my forum alone has over 800 people on it, I also put it through my email list and our Hotties myspace page in a bulletin http://www.myspace.com/tulsastreetscenehotties

It sucks that something like this has to happen when you guys travel so far to race, just wanted to let you guys know we are still looking for you here in town, sometimes it helps if we get the word out rather than just the police dept.

Hope that you guys recover your stuff. Scott www.tulsastreetscene.com

thanks scott!! Is the photo of the bike on the first page of this thread visible? A few people are telling me that a little red X is popping up instead of the photo. It shows up fine on my computer. Can anyone check please?

the photo is linked to google mail.
You'll need to save the photo on your computer then upload it to imageshack.us or some other site from where you can link it.

nope, Brian stripped off all of the older stickers he had. He didn't want it to stand out as a moto trailer. Someone was watching to see what was in the trailer. I guess the manager of the hotel that he was staying at has been acting pretty damn shady about everything. Brian was talking to other people at the track yesterday and I guess some of the hotels around there have been known for these types of things. Hopefully something comes up.

Sean and I met Brian and his buddy at the last round in Kansas City, good people. We ran into them Saturday morning and they stayed with us the rest of the weekend, no luck with the bikes yet to my knowledge but I do know that they're headed back to CA hoping to regroup for the Fresno round.

Haha.. he told me he hung out with you guys. Well, he has an older bike that he was trying to sell. An '08 YZF250 I believe. He's gonna try and get that bike going and hopefully make it to the San Antonio Round in 2 weeks. We'll have to see what happens.

I just want to give Brian big props, I heard about his ordeal because he was in the signup line in front of me. I kept checking with him all day seeing if he got everything he needed. I talked to him a couple times and asked how the bike was he was riding and how he felt. He said well I wear a size 9 boot and all I could find was some 11s, but hey im here and Im gonna do the best I can.

I was really proud for Brian, he has a great attitude.

Just thought I'd give you guys an update....

We found Brian's bike and trailer!!!!! The Tulsa Police called Brian on Tuesday and he's on his way back to California with his bike, trailer and gear! He says that the police were called by some crackhead's wife who was mad at her husband. I guess this guy has had a few to many run-ins with the law and was just out of jail when he stole the trailer. They found Brian's 2009 KXF250 without the plastics, but still in great shape. He says that a few parts on the bike where slightly rusted, most likely from being left out in the rain for a little bit. He says that the bike still has alot of power, so the guy must not have ridden it much or at all. He has all of his new TLD gear back too. The trailer is in good shape as well. Some of the running lights are broken and I guess the guy put a HUGE Copenhagen sticker on it. haha. Brian is just greatful to have his bike back with all of the gear and the trailer. I wanted to say thanks to you guys that helped us out previously and update on the good news!!

I live in Stillwater Oklahoma and was one of the ones who offered up a bike to ride. What's strange about you posting that he got his bike back today is that this morning I got a call fron teh property management company that I lease my 1200 square foot moto shop from. When I answered the phone they said "Mr. Thomas we need you to go down to your shop and see if anything is missing, The shop behind yours was broken into last night and your lock was also busted off."

I just immediately assumed my 09 CRF450 was gone and no telling how much other stuff (I have around 40 + vintage bikes in my shop.) I was immediately sick to my stoumach. Much to my surprise when I got to my shop nothing was missing! I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would go to the trouble of breaking into my shop then not take anything!

This seems to be happening more and more. Great news it was found.

I would be curious what theft prevention things you had in place. Also I usually will park in very lit place of the parking lot or try to wedge the trailer in a place it would make it difficult to break in.

Some recommendations:

Side doors, add a lockable drop bar from inside so even if someone prys the lock and door handle off, still be locked from inside. And the back door, try to back up to a wall or light pole preventing the back door from being able to open and have your trailer chained up good.

Ugh! Dirtbags.

Really glad he got the majority of his stuff back.

Sounds eerily familiar. Glad he got his stuff back and some people were able to help him out. I'm still missing a CRF450, and XR100 and all my tools, parts, and gear somewhere in Oklahoma.

If we had more of a deterrent, like hearing more about people getting there asses shot trying to steal peoples belongs...some of this crap would cease. Make these low rent thieves think 3 or 4 times before trying to rip people off........"do I want that bad enough to risk getting shot/killed?" Unsure

It was Rodgers County Sheriff Dept. OK, that called. Only the 2 bikes and Trailer were recovered. He didn't get the TLD geer back. The trailer had the wires cut electric brake box removed and missing, all markings on trailer painted over but the trailer still towed good.

Rogers County Deputies say this 4 wheeler was stolen from Bass Pro Shop.NewsOn6.com

ROGERS COUNTY -- Investigative work by the Rogers County Sheriff's Office has resulted in an arrest and the recovery of a large quantity of stolen property.

The investigation started with a tip that led deputies to the 31000 block of South 4170 Road in Rogers County, near Inola.

They arrested John Reed, 38-years-old.

Deputies searched Reed's property and located several large stolen items including a 4-wheeler, a single-axle chemical spray rig, a horse trailer, a flat bed trailer and two cargo box trailers.

"Lowest form of life that I know of is somebody that will steal. Liars and thieves I just got no tolerance for at all," said Tony Mullenger, Insurance Agent.

Record checks of the property revealed that many of the items had been reported stolen.

Sheriff's deputies say the cargo box trailer had been stolen from a man who had stopped and spent the night at an east Tulsa hotel and awoke to discover his trailer had been stolen.

The welder had been reported stolen from the Inola area.

The horse trailer and spray rig had both been stolen in Claremore. And the 4-wheeler had been reported stolen from the Bass Pro Shop in Broken Arrow.

Deputies say the investigation also lead them to a location in Sallisaw, where in conjunction with the investigators from the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office, deputies were able to locate and recover more property.

The list included a 40-foot flatbed trailer, a Bobcat welding machine and an engine, transmission and drive-train parts from a truck recovered in Rogers County.

John Reed was booked into the Rogers County jail on several complaints including, knowingly concealing stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled and dangerous drug and possession of ammunition.

"We certainly want to have room in our jail for thieving thugs that will take stuff from people like this," said Scott Walton, Rogers County Sheriff.

Deputies say Reed is a convicted felon.

"There is some satisfaction in catching the criminal, truly there is," Mullenger said.

Rogers County investigators are working with other law enforcement agencies to see how widespread this case is. They anticipate more arrests.
