I will keep a lookout, we have 2 warehouses near buckeye fire equipment. A company beside us had a camper stolen last week. It was stolen at night and the best we could tell it was a older white f250. Are you close to buckeye? I will go look at the cameras to see if they might have driven by.

Thanks to all I really appreciate all the help, it makes you mad that you work hard to provide for your kids only to have someone come in and snatch everything so fast. I know they're only material things and I'm very thankful that it wasn't worse. The crappy part is that the kids had a race coming up at east bend this weekend they were really looking forward to but looks like that won't be happening. Anyways sorry for the rant fellas I do appreciate all the help from the moto community it means alot!

cranger38 we really appreciate the offer! I'm not sure at this point what we're going to do. If we can find a ride for my oldest son then we might take you up on the offer but either way I really appreciate that it is awesome how the moto community comes together when something like this happens. I will let you know buddy thanks again!

My Dad lives in Kings Mountain. Is it that bad around there? I was thinking about going south to see him and ride this winter. It's snowing here in PA right now.

Unfortunately it seems to be getting that way thanks to pills and meth. It's a shame that things have gotten so bad I'm originally from a small town in low country south carolina and from what my family tells me it's getting like this just about everywhere. It's one thing to steal from me but when you steal from my kids that's a whole different level of anger.

Does anyone have ideas about where the best place to look online would be if someone was trying to sell these bikes? I have tried the usual places like craigslist, and cycletrader etc. I've got people watching facebook as I don't have it but I was just wondering if there are other places I should be watching? Thanks

Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are really popular with thieves, but you might need to expand your range. It is not uncommon for the wheelie boy crowd to branch out of the major cities and target people they know have multiple bikes. I've had dirt bike scammers from Atlanta target NC and unfortunately there is also a growing wheelie boy group in Charlotte now...

I will keep an eye out in my area. Hope you get the bikes back!
