Fucking scumbag thieves!!!!!!

Edited Date/Time 1/27/2012 2:31pm
I know you're expecting to hear about a stolen bike with that title. It's not quite that bad but I needed to vent to moto heads that will understand.

In this area it's all private pay parking lots. I woke up this morning and went to my car to find my drivers side window busted out and a fricken 15 lb bowling ball in my front seat. First thing I noticed were my Oakley sunglasses were gone and the ignition was all tore up. These jackasses thought they could actually pop the ignition on a 2010 car.

After calming down a little I realized all my MXdN memorabilia was in the trunk. I open it to find it's all gone. I had 2 Dungey #1 jerseys ($400) both signed by Dungey one of which was going to be a gift to a Belgian friend of mine. It was for Rudi my Belgian friend from this board. I also had 4 MXdN shirts all with numerous signatures and a Canard #2 plate signed by Canard. I also had a Team Belgium hat signed by Desalle , Ramon and Vanhorbeek. And a few posters signed by various riders.

What pisses me off more than anything is these fcking tweeker/drug addict scumbags have no idea what they stole and could literally care less about the stuff. Most the stuff is probably in a dumpster down the road. I can just see them now all pissed off when they opened the 3 moto tee bags only to find shirts , hats and posters of guys on dirt bikes. It's been 10 hrs since this happened and I'm still so mad I'm shaking as I type this.

What a fcking buzz kill to ruin what up to that point had been the perfect 4 days. Oh well I guess it's just stuff. All be it stuff that meant the world to me. Thanks for listening to my rant guys and if you see anything that resembles this stuff on ebay please let me know.

I was told I should describe the stuff in case it shows up on ebay. There were 2 MXdN #1 Dungey Jersey's signed by RD. A team team Belgium hat signed by the whole team of Desalle, Van Horbeek and Ramon. There were 2 gray and 2 black event Des Nations shirts signed by Roczen, Nagl, Ferry, Dungey, Paulin, Atsuda, Desalle. The #2 Canard front plate wasn't a real front # plate. It was a memorabilia #2 plate they sold at the event stand and it was signed by Canard.

That sucks man! Especially the signed stuff and considering it was one-off jerseys. Dang, I feel bad for you bro. Maybe some people on this board can help you get some more Dungey and Canard signed stuff, though the Team Belgium hat would be hard to replace from this side of the pond.

I'll let you know if I run by anything like that on ebay or craigslist.

Damn, sorry Dan. Really sucky and yes thieves are pathetic as shit. Just try to focus on the 4 days of glory and not the last 10hrs. Hopefully you may have some luck with the law.

thats crazy! where were you staying? we walked all over town leaving the bars and it seemed so safe. good luck on recovering anything you can. was it a rental? home owners insurance may cover things stolen out of your vehicle. i know it doesnt make it better but atleast would soften the blow

Bummer dude.

Cops probably meant, was there a GPS on the window or IPod on the seat. Most of the time, the shit bag criminals will skip cars that they cant see anything in and go for the one where there is at least something in view. GPS on the window or dash is like a sign saying please break into me.

Yeah I'm trying to swiz.. I know this sounds weird but I spent 3 hrs checking random dumpsters in the vicinity of the parking lot just in case they tossed some of it. I felt like a vagrant dumpster diving for aluminum cans or something. I literally looked in every dumpster within a 4-5 block radius. I've never really spent allot of time getting signatures and I was so stoked I got what I did.

Like you said I'll focus on the rest of the week and enjoy the day at Elitch Gardens amusement park tomorrow. Besides that ordeal I have to say Denver is an awesome part of the country and a great place to vacation.

I forgot to mention one of the shirts was signed by Donnie Hansen and Chuck Sun in case you guys see anything on ebay.

I was staying at the Sheraton. Parking here was $24 a day so to save $19 a day I parked down the road a little ways in a private lot. Big mistake I guess. I agree about it being safe here. We had been commenting all week how nice the locals are and how safe it seems. Yes it was a rental. I contact my home owners insurance tomorrow when I get home but I have no receipts for any of the stuff. I'll see what they can do though.

72 kiteboarder.. You know what? I didn't even think about it but they did steal the gps. I made the report and then Avis came and got the car and brought me a replacement. Being so pissed about the MX stuff I didn't even realize the GPS was gone.

I guess I was wrong..I just talked to Avis and the GPS was still in the car.

It would be worth it to try and get word out to Vital members in the Denver area to check the pawn shops?
9/27/2010 7:18pm
feel for you dude, i had my truck broken into saturday night and my brand new ridden once RM125 stolen, they did a heap of damage to teh ignition barrell trying to take the vehicle as well

If you find them, cut off their hands. Can't steal without hands. Penalties these days are far too light.

Dan,
sorry to hear, but I learned along time ago, why leave anything of value in the car? after having both my rigs, along with every neighbor in Bull Mtn. I trust most people, but why tempt them?

Again, sorry for the loss.

Bummer for sure.

When I was in B.C. for the Supercross one year the bums knocked a window out of my car for 35 cents in the cup holder.

I agree with you but it still sucks soooo bad.. I just can't believe after breaking a window( w/a bowling ball they obviously stole from the bowling alley down the road) and trying to pop the ignition they still felt they had the time and all to pop the trunk and go through there. It was on a very busy downtown street right across the street from a 5 star hotel (with the lobby looking right at them)and you would think somebody would of heard the bowling ball pop the window. The noise a car window makes when something like that goes through it is very loud. They were some very brave criminals.

Did you go to the car with all that MX memorabilia at the same time, as in, straight from the track? Is it possible you were scoped out and the thieves actually wanted your moto stuff and knew where to find it? Sucks all around, but given the amount of Moto fans in the area, a signed jersey or two and some number plates from Team USA could mean a lot to some people, not random thieves, resale doesn't factor if thats the case. Best of luck, sorry for the black cloud on your weekend.................WTF, did you take out Short on the track or something? I kied, I kied.

Thieves aren't smart.

You can break a car window with as little noise as a pin dropping, and with something smaller than a fingernail.

These guys were probably illegals and amateurs.

Must have been the weekend for asshole thieves. They stole all my friends bikes out his trailer after the family was at a local club snowmobile, ATV, and motorcycle grass drag race. They got his YZF450, and the kids' RM85, KTM65, and a Honda 50 he just bought for his son about a month ago. Of course insurance covers nothing and the 4 year old doesn't understand where his bike is. SUCKS!!!

Search Ebay and craigslist non stop... Don't stop looking on them, You'll find something listed. Then deal with it how you choose.

Worst part is we probably know exactly where they are, and the cops won't even go there to look for them. They will just sell them for parts or beat the shit out of them and then leave them in a field. It's like the wild west in there.

Denver/Lakewood has a ton of Pawn shops....check em out if you can. Look over on the east side by Federal between 6th and 285. Scumbags suck.

Nothing worse than beat up jerseys and memorabilia in fields.
