    Someone tried to steal my 200x !?!?!

    I just want to see what everyone else thinks of this. The past few nights i left my 200x outside under a tarp right next to the house, yesterday morning i got up and i realized the tarp was on the ground and my 200x was moved almost all the way to the road against a log with the kick starter out and in gear like they tried to push start it and drive off with it. Miraculously my throttle cable broke a few days ago rendering it unusable until i replace it. If it were not for that i think it would be gone.

    What does everyone else think about this ? What should i do i dont have enough space to keep it in the garage forever and if i lock it up id want something that cant be broken.

    There's a brand of ATV lock called a Kryptonite lock that's supposed to be pretty good. Look at kryptonitelock.com. It looks like you need something pretty solid to lock it to. Maybe you could also put some kind of alarm on it too.

    if you cant keep it in the garage then put a chain and pad lock on it. yes it can be broken but its better than just letting it sit out in the yard. i would store it somewhere atleast for a while. you never know when the pricks might want to try again

    Sounds like punks, not pros. Take the rear wheels off and get a bad azz dog. They looted the house 2 doors down from me at Christmas when we were away for a week. Got 100K worth of stuff. I'm sure they looked at my place, but I have a bad azz dog He's worth his weight in dog crunchies regardless of how much of his I need to shovel every morning.

    Punks having fun. If they wanted it that bad the truck would have been parked at the end of the drive way. With someone waiting to lift it in the back of a truck with out starting it up and waking anyone up. I would put up solar lights to come on under motion and wrap it with the thickest chain around the biggest tree if you can't store it inside.

    I used to put a padlock with a long shackle through the sprocket and around the drive chain on my dirt bikes even in the garage. Or I would use a long, thick chain with multiple locks with to lock multiple 3 wheelers together. Now i just park a vehicle width ways in front of the garage. My thought was if the want one they have to work for it. Best thing to do also is make sure you have all of the serial numbers wrote down just in case the worst happens. Maybe even some identifying marks somewhere only you might look if it came up missing.

    what about some kind of gps tracker, so if they take it you'll know where it is

    Yeah the gps is a great idea. Always thought about that. Like put into a bit of the frame. That would be killer to be able to find where the scums were hiding it.

    Since they know it's there they may come back for it. You might try a rental storage shed, depending on where you live they can be pretty cheap and often have security.

    Leave your 200x sitting out in the open (bait) at night, wait for them to start pushing it away.... then beat them down & teach them a lesson!
