What happens to stolen ATVs....Big Als Big Gay Barn?????

[citizennobody]

So what is the real scoop on what happens to stolen ATVs? Do people keep them a put different VINs or just file them off? Dont they then have file the one off the motor and elsewhere? Do they get parted out? How is that? Just wondering. I never hear of anyone getting theirs back.

I protect mine by putting a padlock on the rear calipers; I got the idea from streetbike caliper locks (so they can't just push them away). I also chain them together with a cable lock and I do the same for my trailer by running a cable lock through the rear wheel and around the leaf spring. I padlock my garage doors too. I bet someone could still steal them if they want but that is only level one Mario, to get the princess they have to get past me with my guns and my home alarm....!!!!

So what do you think Sparky?

Well dont you think its up to the people stealing them what they want to do with them. Its not like they have to do a certain thing :huh . The kids will probably spray paint the plastics thinking thats enough to make it look different. People scratch the vins off, take em to the chop shops, sell them. I mean come on now what are you planning. People in El paso beware, citizenobody is coming for your quad.


My brothers 400ex was stolen 2 years ago. It was in the spring time and the idiots left marks in the grass from where the pushed it. We followed it into the woods and there it was, behind some apartment complex with the electrical system pulled out. They took a break and went to school, but when they came back to try to get it started again it was back in our hands :)

you can cable and padlock anything you want, somebody can walk up with bolt cutters and cut them off without any prob. i cut off a case-hardened lock before with bolt cutters, they were about 24" long and mangled the teeth on them but i got the lock off. :macho

Most of the F***ers part em out on ebay... I know somewhere someplace my banshee parts are on some banshee, the cops had this evidence for me: 1.people admitted to stealing it 2. girlfriend actually rode with police and pointed out my house that they stole it from 3. they busted a junkyard with like 50 quads/bikes and like 20 cars, and a meth lab. I guess the guy running the yard was paying ppl in meth for stolen stuff, what did i get back? NOTHING mine supposedly was already "parted out" :scary: :mad:

Where do you live exactly, Guido?????

[honduh440]

well if the locks will just get cut maybe we should take our grips off and hook up electrical dog fences to the handles bars and pegs


or maybe do like on the movie "saw" and hook up a trip wire that pulls the trigger on 5 shotguns abover their head


i think either one would do the job

[440exnacsracer]

mine are pretty safe. they are in the box of a semi trailer and i use a special lock so you cant use bolt cutters. last time i lost my keys, i had to get the grinder out and hack at it:D

[toby400ex]

Why would they have to get rid of the vin number. Have you ever seen an atv randomly get its vin checked? I keep mine in my bedroom, no one wants to go there, believe me.

[gotlift]

mine were in a shipping container they just cut the where the lock went on the door. And took the Quads. thirty pounds of plate steel and half day of welding I feel a little better. The thing that sucks about it I missed them by about fifteen minutes according to the neighbor.

just curious, have you ever tried to cut a cable lock? i lost the keys and it took me nearly 2 days of messing with it at 2 hours at a time.. i use half inch cables, which i dont care what kinda bolt cutter you have, your going to do nothing but spring your cutters.. i used a 48 inch pair and a hydraulic cutter and the 48 inch pair sprung, and the hydrualic blades snapped...

If somone wants to steal it bad enough they will and if they want to carry my bikes through the yard, over a fence, over a truck, without making noise and with spotlights all over the place, they can HAVE IT! but i highly doubt they would get too far.. ive never had a problem, but then again, i watch who knows what i have.. thats how most stuff gets stolen.. ie. your FRIEND tells there FRIEND and guess what, your bike is GONE.. and your friend and his friend are out riding it.. or you put a ad in the paper and you go and show it to somone and then the next day its gone..

95% of all thefts occur because the OWNER of the whatever is a IDIOT.
