I was recently invited to attend a big motor sports show, with cars, bikes, atv's and anything that runs on a motor.
I took my bike out to give it a thorough cleaning and detailing, as it was dusty and dirty from a few rides. I had stored my race quad, and my show bike in my race trailer, at a former racer's home. I was away for about a week in December, and my racer was allowed access to my race trailer and equipment while I was away.
Upon my return, he told me that he was starting his own race team, and chose to leave the team. I noticed that I had about 30k in atv race equipment and parts missing. I contacted the local law enforcement agency, who advised me that it was a civil situation, and they could not get involved. I managed to recover about 10k in equipment back, calling the rest a loss.
Upon cleaning my show bike, this is what I found. The cuts are all the way into the plastic, and into the metal on the NOS bottle. It will have to be entirely redone. I have insurance, but the insurance company stated they will probably drop me after the claim. (Mind you, no tickets ever, no wrecks ever, no claims, ever)
Now, we can all say that we want to go beat them, but realistically, since I called the police, they would just charge me.
No more show bike for me, no money to fix it, and I am devastated. Physically ill. I hope they are happy, and karma comes back around to them.
