Sorry to here that Tinoo.
Unfortunately it's happening a lot in the UK at the moment. I was chatting to a guy a few weeks ago who has a shop in Bristol and had always parked his KTM supermoto outside the front window with a chain and padlock on the rear wheel.
In September a white transit van pulled up and in less than a minute 3 guys literally picked it up and threw it in the van and drove off not even stopping at the red traffic lights down the road. He got the reg number but it had false plates....
Police said there are organised gangs shipping bikes to Europe but not many are ever traced.
Hope you a lucky and get it back..

Of no consolation to either of the posted case-studies
This topic comes along regularly in motorcycle websites; a search in here brings up more than 400 threads related to the word "theft".
Just one of the aforementioned threads, picked out at random - unlike the thieves who target vehicles for theft:-
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...l-your-54178-2
IRRC, there was even a thread a while ago that had content written by a professional vehicle thief who explained how the gangs operated; the two cases mentioned in this thread imply the common factor of an established routine of the vehicle owner: there are "spotters" out there whose task it is to pick out these weaknesses .......... just saying.

It's not that old: a 2009 registered bike, going by the original posting.
