It's true, once you have a flag on your bike the only people who want you around are other lunatics with flags on their bike.

I thought what I wrote indicated he should not be doing that. In any case I'll not be a part of future discussions about it. At all times in our interactions I have referred to the things as powertrains. Not motorcycles. Not Energicas. If the message I sent him is misleading I can unsend it. No read receipt as of yet.

Wait. I thought it was weird that he wanted to ensure some electric engines or whatever. And that obviously would be insurance fraud since they were already stolen. But... is he thinking to use vin info for them to insure them as complete motorcycles?

You can certainly send him the VINs if you have them. Also be clear that it’s not for insurance fraud.

For legal reasons I will state here and now that I absolutely do not have said VINs.

Yuns posted:If I were an insurance company I totally wouldn't be suspicious of 4 untitled unregistered motorcycles of which no pictures exist that mysteriously get stolen days after being insured. It’s a good point. If he were trying to commit insurance fraud the smart move would be to insure them and then wait a couple months before filing a police report. Of course if they were stolen from Jennings and Jennings is the race track in Florida and the Florida cops do literally anything other than just writing down that they were stolen (which I recognize based on my experience with NYC cops is unlikely) then he’s kind of screwed at that step because the police report will say they’re stolen before the insurance kicked in.

Why not have insurance on the location that they are stored, which would cover theft and damage of the location? This is related to my frustration with people who send out panic'd messages about their stolen bike that was uninsured because they were selling it.

Fun story: a few weeks ago a mate had a whale wash up behind his house and a bunch of people wandered up to deal with that. One of them was a crackhead who decided he'd help himself to a lovely defunct 50cc scooter I was storing behind the garage, just wheeled it away when nobody was looking. I have the guy's name, picture, address and statements from people in the neighborhood who have had run-ins with him, so I figured I'd give the cops a shout on principle (the scooter was worth maybe fifty bucks). The police told me they could go knock on his door and ask if he stole it, but unless I have video evidence there's nothing more they can do. Then the pig lady helpfully told me my mate should invest in a guard dog or security camera, things landlords in the worst renter market on earth definitely let you have. I got very irritated and asked her what is the point of the police and why she bothers to turn up at work at all and she threatened me with a ticket.

1. That cop was useless. 2. Is the scooter registered to you? If it is, it's clearly and demonstrably stolen by that scrote. Escalate it to the sergeant in charge of your area. If that gets no traction, take their useless responses (which I hope you can get in writing, ie. email) and show them to your local MP/councillor/politician of choice saying someone stole your property, it's clearly yours, you know where it is and who has it and the police are refusing to do their jobs. You will then get the bike back begrudgingly once the cops actually decide to do their jobs.

Wow it's hard to believe that prior to the invention of digital video cameras in the 1980s it was impossible for the police to recover stolen property. How times have changed

Definitely more worthwhile but again, defunct scooter I literally couldn't get anyone to give me fifty bucks for so eh, hakuna matata I hope he burns himself to death trying to fix it.

Fair enough. Tangential remark: if you are storing your bikes outside, you should try to chain them to something solid (even a $50 scooter).

Every other bike on the property (there's like six) lives inside a locked garage. I thought the scooter being behind said garage and only visible from the sea would be protection enough, guess I'm naive. Anyway my mate has now stuck a lovely chinese wifi camera that alerts his phone if it gets motion in the garage just in case. Slavvy fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Try 'the two separate tanks are a scam, I've developed a way to combine them in one LPG canister for $$$$$' followed by an enormous explosion, which I'm told put some body parts on the neighbor's two story roof.

Here is the article about that particular guy https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fatal-massey-explosion-he-didnt-realise-he-had-made-a-bomb/VEFCQZWHW55WU7LCFX2JGUID3U/ quote:Miller had come to O'Neill's house on Universal Drive to weld a new exhaust manifold onto O'Neill's Holden WB Kingswood car at about 4.30pm on Monday. When Miller arrived he was excited to tell O'Neill he'd managed to store two components of oxy-fuel, oxygen and acetylene, into one LPG bottle.
