    Stolen 3 and 4 wheelers

    In the last week there has been at least one 350x and two 4-wheelers stolen in my area. Which has me worried/pi**ed and thinking. Who on here has had a 3 or 4 wheeler stolen? Have you guys found them/got them back? The police around here don't seem to care from the way it sounds. One was stolen out of a garage and the other (350x) they smashed the shed door to get in, the third one I don't know where it was, I just read about it. People have always stole stuff, but do you guys think it is getting worse because of the economy and lack of work for people? Just figured I'd ask you trikers, my wifes like, whatever.

    No atv's stolen around here so far. I always see stuff in the big city though. I hate thieves. I don't care if it's a freakin' dandilion out of your yard or a half million dollar car. Thieves are the scum of the earth. There as been alot of home robbery's around our area though. Guns are loaded and ready to go. My motto is " I leave the doors open, I like to encourage intruders." I don't care if they're not threatening me, I'll shoot em for staeling my trikes. Just remember to unload your gun on them. I shows you were in fear for your life. I actually feel sorry for any sum beotch that trys to bereak into here.

    seadoo that's the worst advice I've ever seen...

    state laws vary in each way....and not all states allow you to fire at someone just for stealing.

    not to mention...you have to consider disparity of force. If you're bigger than him, and he's unarmed, and you fire, that's murder.


    firing an entire clip can also be murder...anything seen as a coup de grace is BIG no no. There was just a guy who shot a armed robber in the head with a .380, it didn't put him down permanently, he started to get up, the guy was in a full back brace, so he put six rounds from a taurs judge into him.... charged with first degree murder.

    I had a 200x stolen when I was about 16. Do you live near nanty glo pa by any chance? my buddy just had his quad stolen last year and I guess the kids have been stealing a TON of bikes. They caught him and my buddy got his bike back, but from what he says they're back at it again.

    Mapquest says I'm 1 1/2 hours from Nanty Glo. The 350x was stolen last Sunday night and it was very nice (hardly ridden), they shoved a well riden 350x and a 250sx out of the shed to get to the nice 350x, and it was the only one taken. So someone new what they were going for.

    that makes me sick. I hope he gets it back. I'll keep an eye on craigslist/traders guide/ ebay, you never know someone might be stupid enough to sell it whole if thats their plan. How far are you away from Cairnbrook, Pa? we should ride sometime!

    Goat I know what you mean ....... I remember a guy last year in Syracuse that saw some 16 year old's trying to steal his ride so he grabbed a bat and let em have it .... kid wasn't charged but the guy was? makes no sence to me someone try's to steal something you worked hard for and you are supposed to sit back and let some one take it? Cops said he should have got the direction they left in? I'm sorry if someone try's to get in my home or steal from me they will eat some bullets.

    The only reason people steal is because some dirtbag of equal proportion is willing to buy the stolen parts. Do not ever buy stolen or questionable parts, you are only giving thieves a job...

    We have a local online classified that I watch regularly. And I'll bet three or four times a month I see an ad for a 2000 or newer four wheeler that says right in the ad that they don't have a title for it, but they will give a bill of sale. And they want as much for it as a nice one with a title. Not to say they are stolen, but who would take a chance and buy one like that? And where did the title go?

    Never had a 3 or 4 wheeler stolen but when i was 11 my klx110 was stolen. Eventully did get it back because the thief sold it for $400. (this was in 07 and it was an 06 model) That guy then took it to the dealer i bought it from and asked them to fix it. My dads friend that works there knew the serial and told the guy it was hot. He said he didnt know who it was. So i got it back (sooo beat!) I had this bike mint like new still. They took it peeled the stickers off bent the bars bad bent the shift fork, brake lever, footpegs. Had a front fender used as a rear fender.
    We did tell the cops they came over and did just about nothing.

    there are thieves everywhere.

    use good cables and locks, light areas where they are kept and a dog is always a good idea.

    you have every right in the world to defend yourself and your property.

    you do not have the right to kill someone unless your life is in danger.

    my garage is connected to my house, so i can take a gun into the garage, if your garage is not connected to your home you will have big troubles in court if you shoot someone in there.

    i truly believe that the sound of my shotgun going off in the garage will get thier undevided attention, no need to shoot anyone.

    i wouldnt want to shoot anyone over a stupid 3 wheeler, thief or not, but i wouldnt lose a wink of sleep if it was my family that was in peril.

    good thick cables, best locks you can buy, mean ass dogs.
