Yea, people lets be careful, and not give away anything, or scare the thief off. Just one or two inquires is good enough. Should probably pass it on to the police if they don't respond, they could be tracked.

I tend to think the same way. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, but trikers seems to be brethren from what I've seen. You never do know though. With the sheer number of people on these boards there are bound to be a couple bad apples.

there is some bad apples but i dont think any have enough guts to jack a longtime members built trike

I'd have to look through the thread but may I ask HOW they got it?? Thank god they didn't get the TIGER!! Then again, good luck selling and or parting that without getting caught...

I only ask because it helps educate US on avoiding the same situation.....

This is one reason I never leave trikes out to be seen by people driving by; Dad always said "don't advertise" which was sound advice. Sadly there are too many thiefs around and in this economy, people are pretty brave (daylight etc ) when trying to get your goodies. I'll never meet anyone at my home through Craigslist, those guys are just looking around for stuff to steal and see what type of security you have.

I find the best security to be "hidden/unseen" security. The best thing you can do is slow a thief down, the longer there on your property or around your trailer etc etc, the more anxious they get and afraid of being caught. Then again, with our legal system, they don't have much to lose depending on where you live.

I always try to stamp my initials in a few parts just in case I see a similar item for sale.

I truly hope you get it back. There are far too many rare items on that trike for one of "us" to recognize. Thiefs don't sit on stuff, they unload it ASAP and get some quick cash; Either that or there actually riding it.......

"I'll never meet anyone at my home through Craigslist, those guys are just looking around for stuff to steal and see what type of security you have. "

thats why as soon as they start up the drive, i let my 150 lb dog out the front door to greet them. lol Really, it is a shame but these days you cant trust people. I live in a very private location, and i still have all my machines locked up!!
