Barbie is alive !!!

Post by Gordonsphinx » 19 Jul 2010, 16:15

Amazingly I get a call from Hampshire police on Friday night informing me that they have found my bike. The bike was found in a traveller’s camp site in Yateley near Gibraltar Barracks, the police were in the area dealing with other issues. So I went and picked her up. Sadly there is a bit of damage; broken headlamp lens, severe dent in the fuel tank and a broken fuel cap. Other than that she seems okay.

Forensics haven’t been able to come up with any prints, so at the moment no one is being charged.

I live on the Surrey / Hampshire border and it’s the Surrey police who are dealing with the theft but it was Hampshire police that found the bike but they don’t seem to care much. As soon as I got there the police jumped in their car and went leaving me to strap my bike in to my van on my own surrounded by gypo's, nice.

At least you've got it back without much time for them to damage it severely :D .

Bleddy gypos, I hate them with a passion, and they seem above every law! No police round this way can touch them, and they all drive round in disco 3's and bmw x5's, its crazy!

She definitely won’t be going back in to the garage. Ironically, the reason why I moved to this house was because it had a garage. Lucky for me I can get the bike in to my sitting room so she’ll be alright there.

You can't beat a bit of pink!

The gypo's seem to have done more damage then first thought. They have disconnected the ignition barrel and hot-wired the poor old girl. I'm really struggling to work out what is what. Worse still the engine feels very tight on kick over and for some reason they have changed the spark plug?

Why can't people just leave stuff alone.

I'm surposed to be going to a ride tomorrow as well, grrrrrr!!!!
