I am always paranoid about locking up the garage and quad everytime I put it away. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I always peak out the window just to see if anything is going on outside (paranoia). Well, I'm always sounding paranoid about my quad whenever we go riding and leave the quads out on the trailer or unatended somewhere. My riding buddies always tell me to relax and say that nothing's gonna happen in that smart *ss tone of voice.

Well anyways...on with the story. I have heard some stories about what a theif would do just to steal a quad, but it never happend to anyone I ever talked to in person or knew, just people I met on the internet. Well, just a couple days ago, my friend's cousin's girlfriend's quad was stolen. I've been riding with all of them before, so I felt p*ssed along with them of course. I always get p*ssed whenever I hear something like that. Well, the unbelievable part is that after breaking into the garage and opening the door, they had one obstacle in their way. It was a truck with a big work rack. So, they just simply rolled the quad over the truck, somehow (must have been some big dudes, even tho it was just a Blaster), and off they went. What bastards!

I just wonder how people live their lives like that. Does it get them that much farther in life to steal a freakin Blaster? It's just like those idiots who rob convinience stores and only get $500, who end up getting cought most of the time anyway.

 

Man that $ucks. My friends also say I'm paranoid too. I have mine and my wifes qauds under lock and key all the time. I poored 6 bags of concrete into a hole with pipe and rebar running through it, sunk a bucket down into it and but a inch and half stainless steel pipe filled with cement in it to lock the Kryptonite locks and chains to. I figure if they want it the will still get it but no use making it easy for them.

 

I keep the intercom on in the garage and a base in the bedroom. They only cost about $30 at Wallmart. WARNING! do not leave the aircompresser on. You will wakeup thinking a train is coming through the house.

 

Man that stinks, Luckily I live on an Air Force Base, I could park it out beside the car and nobody would mess with it. However when I go somewhere, I allways lock my tailgate, and chain the wheeler to my tie down hooks, they might get it, but its gonna give em a headache!

 

Theft deterent. I have a continiously active alarm system monitoring my quad when parked in the garage and it only cost me a bag of dog food once a month oh yea and It's always there to greet me when I leave for work @ 4:00 am. The great thing about this alarm system is, it sleeps beside my quad
and it is self arming. Nobody would dares go near the quad. Can't beat living in the country.

 

Lowlifes are what they are. I believe in dogs and chains and keep wifes quad and mine on 1/2" super hard chain locked to a 18" dia tree. I keep both sleds locked up summer and winter also.

 

Dont know why anyone would steal a Blaster heck it probbly needed a topend.Poor fools probbly didnt know what they were getting.The last Blaster I had I would have ben money ahead if it had been stolen. We did have a string of ATV thefts her in town a year or so ago.2 new Raptors and a old Polaris.The Raptors were taken out of the owners front yards and one was found in AZ a guy had bought it off ebay real cheap.THe other two have never been found. I myself havent had any trouble with theives around my house but everyone around here knows me and I have had a reputation of being kinda nuts and been known to shoot off a few rounds to make a point.That may help keeping the locals away but make the neighbors nervous but after 14 yrs they are used to me.The lowlife biker trash and 4 wheeler guy.I also let my dogs loose a time or two on some punks messing around scared them bad but all the dog wanted was to play.What I am tring to say is firearms and big dogs are great theft deturants.

 

Hey raptor ACDC,
My sides hurt from laughing when I read your post. I made the same mistake, but in my basement work shop. I was using my compressor (Sears 6hp oilless) one evening and forgot to unplug it. About 2:30 in the morning enough air had leaked off and the compressor came on. WOW talk about "Waking Up Running". It took a few seconds for me to realize what was going on. Went down and shut off the "TRAIN" LMAO. Good description.

 

i read in the paper the other day that some dude was out makin a little money with his quad and snowplow,stopped at a chinese resturaunt for lunch,came out and they got the trailer and all,in broad daylight! these sorry s.o.b.'s need to be shot. but then you'd get sued for that so you really cant win either way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

I know what you mean about getting your stuff stolen. I had borrowed a moped from a friend while I was seperated from my drivers lisence LOL. I came home drunk about 3:30 am and chained it to the back bumper on my `65 polara. my mom said she heard something about 5:00am when I got up around 12:00pm. the bumper had been unbolted and they slide the chain off. that was bummer. and this last summer we had just got to bed after drinking around the camp fire at my friends cabin, when some tryed to steal one our quads of the trailer. luckly it was locked to the trailer, we heard something out front of the cabin and just then we came out side (8 of us) and the crooks lost control and ditch jumped their car and tore the muffler off. it was funny as hell watching the trail of sparks peeling out from under the car as they tore off.
