Johnny's bikes were stolen last night. They stole a 2004 KX65 and a 2005 CR85. BOTH HAVE THE NUMBER 238 ON THEM. The KX has a distinctive bent swing arm on the left hand (shifter) side. Looks like something hit it real hard. Two of the four front fender bolts were jacked up (Johnny cross threaded them and broke them off and I haven't drilled them out yet). There is an "L" shaped tear in the green part of the seat on the right side. The bike has ProTaper mini-bars that are real narrow for John's little frame.
The 85 has a distinctive rock chip on the right hand side front fork (on the top just under the triple tree) and an oversized bolt in the right hand side back number plate.. The word "Honda" is partially "washed" off from an over zealous pressure washer. I am sure that the graphics kits will be gone, but the KX had TORCO Race fuel and Monster Energy sponsors on the shrouds amongst others. The 85 only had numbers no graphics at all. But if the number plates make it, they have KX green accents. Very distinctive on a CR. The graphics sponsor messed it up. Since we are only practicing on the CR I just used them.
To the Thieves - To you these bikes are probably just a quick way to make a buck. In this economy, that can be a difficult thing. Resorting to a bottom feeding thief is not an answer. God knows who you are and so does someone else in our neighborhood. We are preparing flyers to take door to door and ask if we can look in the garages. Those that say no will be reported to the Police for further investigation. We will begin doing this in the morning. This gives you tonight to bring the bikes back. Just lay them in the yard and run. Don't worry about replacing the straps that you cut and as a bonus, I'll let you keep the gas can.
If you are local to our neighborhood (and we think we know who you are) we will put you in a difficult position with everyone, but not as difficult as the position that you will be in when we find you. We will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the Law.
That's State Jail Felony theft from a motor vehicle exceeding $1,500.00, but less than $20,000. Punishable by a fine not to exceed $20,000 and 2 years in Jail.
You have stolen two dirt bikes in your mind, but in reality - you have stolen the dreams and life-blood of an 8 year old child. I woke him up at 7AM this morning to show him what you had done. He was devastated. God witnessed it and you will be repaid 10 fold. The bikes are tuned just for him and replacing them will take months. In the mean time you will probably make your quick buck, spend the money and be back at it again. Please don't come here snooping around. Although you woke me up, I only went for a glass of water. I promise that won't be the case if you come back.
Do the right thing, bring the bikes back and just leave them in the yard - you will feel so much better knowing that you did the right thing. Then - if you want to ride them let me know and we will take you to the track and you can ride until your hearts content....
