I've been to Texas and can't take the heat. Louisianna is even worse and has 100% humidity 100% of the time. I need to find someplace north or west. Maybe Idaho. I love potatoes. [img][/img]</end quote></div>

I don't know, with your luck, they'd steal the potatoes.

I would hope that the insurance company would start to question the law enforcement agency about the lack there of. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

We have Un-Enforcement Officers. I hope the insurance company can interrogate at least one of them to see why crime is so bad at my house. And why I have to call on 10 seperate occasions to get someone out here once. And why there are 6 cars at 7-11 and 9 more at the donut shop. Is anyone working? How many times must I be assaulted by my neighbor before they do anything to him? How many false police reports and 911 calls can he make against me before they arrest him. It's been <u>dozens</u> so far. Maybe if deek-heads like him quit wasting their time they would do some work.

This thread is starting to look like the nuthouse with all these posts. Sounds like you and your neighbor don't get along. Glad I'm not you, I've never called the cops in my entire life let alone a dozen times over the same guy. Thats probably the reason they don't come out there, when they get that call they are probably like yeah they're fighting again time to go calm em down so they quit yelling back and forth, then we'll go chase that mass murderer. Maybe you two should just have it out and be done with it.

id do something like take off something on the bike every night that makes it impossible to ride. for example, maybe something like the battery or a connection wire. and lojack makes products for bikes, so i dont see why they couldnt make up something for an atv.

This just ruined my day buddy&gt; I had a raptor stolen last year out of my garage. Filed a report and never heard a word. It sucks. I hope they catch those bastards!

Is there a Craigslist.com for your area? Put an add on there just to see if someone would be dumb enough to answer.
Like - Wanted to buy- 2006-2008 Polaris Sportsman 800, low miles, or whatever it was. I don't remember what kind of bike it was. Fish around for someone to answer. It doesn't cost anything and you wouldn't have to answer all of the replys. Wait and see if one sounds like one of yours? [img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img] Then track em down! Just a thought. Good luck.

Crackheads usually don't wait to sell
their goods like posting and selling
on the internet. - IMO

Who am I to say though, anything is possible?
If I had my guess though the crackhead theives
already had a buyer before they exerted effort.
It was probably all done (Steal-Sell-Buy Crack or whatever
and Smoked all in ONE DAY!) Especially since you
indicated happened in the morning hour. -- Just a hunch!

Keep on'em JF, keep calling the local Police Dept.
and demand an investigation.

I missed that it was probably crackheads. Your right that they wouldn't be waiting to sell it or even part it out. Good luck in whatever happens!

Frank, I can't believe this happen again! Wish I had some kind of meaningful answer for you but it is obvious that you have been marked as an easy score, be it your neighbor or some one else, they are watching you! You've had it only a couple months and they knew it!
It also sounds like none of your other neighbors are willing to get involved by giving up any info they may know...I can't imagine that SOMEONE in the neighborhood of houses that close didn't see anything during this and past thefts! They are probably scared to death to become a victim also!
The Lojack idea sounds like a good one but I would guess that your bike was striped down and parted out within hours of being stolen and at the response rate of your local law enforcement, the Lojack was probably found and disabled before the cops knocked on your door!
It is a sad state of affairs in this country when we seem to have more people out there working at being dishonest then people working honestly!
Hope you see your way out of this mess Frank!
