That's the easy bit. Cutting a feck-off great hole in a roller shutter might be considered a tad noisy, though. -- SteveH

Don't have full details yet. The police found it 'during a raid this morning'. -- SteveH

So that was the first you knew of it being nicked? Are you responsible for the repairs to the garage door? I'm just wondering if you can hit the insurers for a better door when they replace it (if it's insured) or if you've got to foot the bill for yourself. Good luck with getting it all sorted out.

Yup. Ran out of space in the garage at home, so rented somewhere a few miles away. > Are you responsible for the repairs to the garage door?

Well, I'm hoping the bloke I rent it off is responsible for the door - but he'll not be getting any more than a month's notice from me now, as I don't want to risk putting anything back in there. > Good luck with getting it all sorted out. Cheers. -- SteveH

Blimey. Might not be undamaged, then. You could be lucky. Decades ago, a then mate had his Triumph 650 Tiger nicked. Plod went round to some well-known lowlife's gaff and found it there, mostly stripped. They hung onto it for evidence for 18 months, during which time his insco lost patience and paid out, and he bought the salvage. Which I then bought off him. The joke was that he actually inherited, as it were, a Triumph and a half, more or less. There was a huge pile of bits that hadn't actually come from his bike. I wound up with two tanks, two seats, several side panels, etc etc etc. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
