Exactly. Like I said i've passed this on to the police now. Put a claim in with the insurance as well, so gotta hear back from that. Thanks for your help on that mate, at least I know it's still in the are.

C'mon mods - this has as much relevence to rugby than the Roy Keane being refused entry to the DW thread that was modded for not being rugby related.

difference is, this guys asking for some help from the Wigan rugby family....

This isn't doing any harm though is it? That thread could of turned into a Latics v Warriors argument etc

The guys asking for help and he's getting it. It's actually a pretty good job he made the thread.

Wind your neck in mate. I'm just asking for some help in regards to a stolen vehicle. If there was a forum for discussing such things [as there is for football] then I would have posted it there. Sadly, there isn't so I posted here. If you don't like that, I suggest you don't read this thread unless you have something of value to contribute.

JTGOB - you have a visit from the plod tonight? Saw a car coming down Aye Bridge this evening, wondered if it'd been and seen you, or if they're on the look out. (first time in 2 years i've seen a plod down Aye Bridge).

I'll keep an eye out in Skem for you. I know its abit of a long shot.

Not had a visit yet, the PC who I logged the crime with gave me a Crime Ref Num, but alas nothing yet. I don't expect anything, but just hope I can get it back, as it appears my insurance are really going to drag their feet on this.

call them to chase every day. It's the only way to get things done now-a-days. In the end, they'll get so fed up of hearing from you, they'll just sort it to get you off their backs. If it's an 0845/0870 number, use SayNoTo0870 (use a well known search engine to find it), then it doesn't cost you anything.

I know someone who had one stolen from Golborne about 6 months ago, they're quite common in the area, had it burnt out unfortunately. Apparently some young lads but couldn't prove it, had seem them eyeing it up for weeks and then caught them in back yard near scooter, weeks later it was gone. from memory they were from derby road. I'll do some digging for you.

I had a scooter nicked once by some kids who live near me. They were only a year or two younger, they were loitering on the front one night when I was coming home from a Quins match. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I got up in the morning it'd gone. Took about 3 months for the pay out from insurance. This was 7 years ago. About 6 months ago I saw a burnt out scooter that resembled to one that had been nicked burnt out in some bushes when I was walking the dog.

i can see our new supermod wigan/leeds andy sat at his computer dishing out the yellow/red cards and to ban everybody for not including him on the thread title

sorry to hear this Jeff, i had mine nicked in 2006.. friggin scum, hope you get it back!

Sorry to hear of this Jeff, its a killer but part of life these days, they should bring back the birch for these type of scum.

i) Insurance, check the small print to see if there is anything about a replacement bike from them when things go wrong, ( if not - try Carole Nash next time but tell them that you are looking at hireing one to get by and will look to them for the costs if it takes too long ) if there is, get them onto it, they will soon sort things out as it is now costing them money.
ii) I work in Rossendale, so am pretty much all over the north west every day, I will keep a look out but don't expect to see it again.
iii) regarding security, if you are looking for idea's then drop me an email and I will get back to you, I am a biker too and have a few tips.

Good luck, I hope it is all sorted soon.

In all fairness mate they shouldnt have a choice to pay out if you had an anchor (unless you were supposed to have had disk locks too just check the small print.)

Insurance companies are idiots I saw one on tv last week about a woman who had a heart attack but the health insurance wouldnt pay out but then told her that she had to now pay higher premiums because she had had a heart attack! Ha

I have had issues myself too when I changed my car in August. I asked them to change it "From Friday" so I didnt give them a date but they changed it from the same date on the next month leaving me without insurance for a month. Hopefully youll get it sorted but tbh I'd look at getting another bike instead.

yeap... you pay all that money for incompetance.
