We know Atlanta is infamous for bikes and vans getting stolen/ broken into to. Let's spread the word to anyone competing this weekend (pros and amateurs); don't be foolish enough to think your property is safe.
Take every precaution necessary and let's keep the low-life-bike thieves from snatching another bike. One bike is too many.
I'll be stoked on Monday if we don't see a post about someone's bike getting lifted but with all the pro and amateur teams traveling to Atlanta it's likely someone is going to get their stuff lifted.
NOT THIS YEAR ATLANTA!!!
Spread the word to everyone you know in the moto-community traveling to Atlanta to make the extra effort.
You know the bad guys are planning something...so should you.

I hope no one loses anything this year, but I doubt that will be the case
The Shop
If someone has anything to post on Instagram we can start sharing it to help social awareness of this situation.
I live 3 miles away and very safe.
Seriously though, there are a bunch of companies that offer this service. They can even alert your phone in real time if it's being messed with.
The problem again, is your local police. They have to be affiliated with the service providers for these devices. So, in the end it all comes down to how much your local PD actually gives a shit. Which, when it comes to things like bike theft, isn't very much. Most PD's aren't going to take on the extra expense (and logistics) of implementing these systems into their cruisers and training their officers to use it.
LoJack claims to be the only one "integrated" with state and local police, but they also state that they have only 14,000 units installed. There are over 300,000 police cruisers in the U.S. right now.
so, to answer your question. Logistics....
Then when the dirtbags breach the trailer paint them up.
Cops said there was a lot of it going on, could not catch them.
He rented a white van, got 3 of his buddies, put a friends ninja right where his was as bait.
Locked it with a cable.
The Van was rented for a week.
6 nights, they laid in wait 1/2 a block away,
On the 6th night, another van went buy, maybe 3:30 in the morning, turned around, came back and stopped right in front of his house.
They gave them 20 seconds.
All 4, under the cover of darkness, bolted out of the van, sprinted the 1/2 block and hit the 3 guys like linebackers.
The thieves had a can of freon, freezing the lock, and never saw them coming.
Subdued, the thieves were driven to a vacant lot, duct taped and bound to the bumpers of their van.
An anonymous call was made to the cops.
A week later, the cops contacted him. They had found his bike, along with about 50 others, in a warehouse.
3 guys were still in the hospital, broken jaw, broken arms, blown out knees and cracked ribs,
Cop wanted to know, did he know anything about it.
Nope, he replied. Said the cop looked at him for a few seconds, told him whoever did it, could be in a lot of trouble
if they were ever identified.
Then shook his hand, and said thanks.
I'd be shocked if there wasn't a theft, I've been to that city enough to know the criminals don't take Supercross Saturday off...
Pit Row
That POS would cut out randomly and spit me over the bars. Haha, jokes on you suckers. Go ahead, take it, do some high-speed wheelies on the freeway while your at it =)
