    Unhappy What no-one ever wants to hear. Especially trike lovers.

    So, Last night. 10-15-12. I got out of the shower at about 6:30 - 7:00 pm. I thought my dad went outside to shut the garage door already, So i went to go watch tv for a while. I thought... todays been kinda wierd. Then i thought i better just go check if the garage door is shut. So i ran outside. (it was maybe 8:30 - 8:35)
    It was pretty dark outside. I got home just before 6:30 And my 1984 200x was still sitting in the garage looking all pretty. Anyways, i walked outside. and looked and say the garage door wasnt closed.. I thought. (come on dad? seriously?!) i walk up and use my ipod as a flashlight to see if it was there. Nope. My jaw Literally just about hit the ground. I went and check the other side to see if my dad moved it. Nope. It was gone. http://www.3wheelerworld.com/images/.../icon_evil.gif http://www.3wheelerworld.com/images/...icon_cry.gifSo i ran inside the house and ran straight into my dad. And I said. !!!!! its gone!! We ran outside and yep. sure enough it wasnt sitting there. So we hopped in the car and drove around looking for it then we called the police. When the police got there we found tracks every where from pushing it and a ton of footprints. He took pictures, and i thought i was in a nightmare. I gave him the registration, and 5 months ago i was smart enough to right the serial number down the day we got it. I had tons of pictures of it on my ipod, so i emailed him the pictures and he said it helped alot

    Now i was thinking about how much fun ive had on the machine. It hurts alot. It takes a special kind of low to take a 14 year old boys pride and joy.

    I hate people. Alot.

    Yeah, Lots of emotional pain on this one. But if someone tried to ride it i hope they kill themselves. Plus it was a smoker if you know what i mean. I ran it out of oil the day before.

    Post up the VIN number and some pictures, describe any identifying marks also please!!!

    This day in age they rarely steal them to keep them, they usually steal them to part them out and sell them off. I have ran across trikes and atv's parked in barns for years that ended up being stolen a long time ago and i had to walk away from them. So its possible it might show up!

    You might also want to send an email over to Mr Twisted in St Cloud, he is one of the biggest trike buyers and sellers in the state.

    That really sucks man. when I was 13 my brother and I had a blaster, 300ex, and a 4x4 trx450 stolen from our garage. The dumb asses got pulled over riding them home later that night and ran away through a cornfield and we got em back from the impound the next day. A year later or so the blaster and 300ex were stolen again and after driving around town my dad spotted them a couple days later and the police recovered them from the thief's garage.

    I understand just how livid this can make a guy but I just wanted you to keep in mind that there is hope in getting it back. Unfortunately for bad guys, luck is often in favor of the victim and things work out. Anyways, Im real sorry to hear about this but be persistent (especially for the next couple of days) in cruising around your area and checking local craigslist postings. It sounds like someone either knew you had it or saw it sitting in the garage so chances are it is close by for the time being.

    Good luck brother, Mack

    This kind of thing makes me happier to hear. I bought this machine with my own money, i worked half the summer to get the money just to have the motor repaired. ive got a bout a month total time into this. and now i get this.... Me and my dad check craigslist and ebay all the time.. I live in the brainerd area. I think it might be someone my age thats been to my house. because they snuck it out behind the shop next to my house, and from there mustve loaded it up into a truck and took off. but the police have a ton of info on it, neighbors never saw anything. So i dont know what to think.

    sorry about your trike definately something we all dread, i've got the baby monitor in my garage and i make sure that they're going to have to make noise if they want to steal my stuff. the whole property that i rent is fenced and gated so if anyone does break in to my garage ill meet them at the half way point (my front door) between the gate and the garage with my AR. i do cringe at the thought of someone stealing my wheelers but at the same time i dare them to try, being that im in arizona its kind of a shoot ask questions later thing thats not all true but if someone poses a threat too you here on your home ground they better be prepared to die for it. i hope you can get your trike tracked down or some kind of justice can be served.

    He's correct. Start looking on Craigslist to see if any parts of your trike show up that you may now also check eBay sorry man that does suck!

    So, today in school a kid that kinda bullys me around had his feet up on the table when i had my ipod out while i was looking at the pictures of the footprints we found. You can guess the rest. Ill have to tell my dad, and the police. I talked to him yesterday and he said that the neighbors said that they didnt see anything suspicious and that the cop already checked the kids house that im talking about. But most times they hide it somewheres else than there house. So idk. Ill keep you guys posted
