Might help putting the chassis number up also, easy to see in the windscreen should someone see it on suspect reg plates

That is good news! Wouldn't the insurance cover the damage and parts/fitting?

My bro and friend had this with their bikes, they didn't get a thing, my bros was pretty much a write off in a field and my pals one had the loom ripped out of his new zx10 and was smashed down one side insurance didn't pay a bean.

It sounds better than not finding it and insurance paying you 30p for the car though, I got knocked of my z1000 2 years ago and was left with a pile of metal, and it took 12 months for them to pay half the insured value, they went on the cheapest nastiest advert on bike trader and took 500 off because it was at a dealership. Not anywhere near the same bike.

I didn't claim,i have a £500 excess (long story).They also said my ncd would drop from 7yrs to 2yrs...... robbers!!

Sometimes the insurance companies are worse than the Barstewards that stole the car in the first place!

It wasn't on Shakerley estate by any chance was it? Glad to hear you got it back with minimal damage. Wash it again and enjoy.

I would be careful there. When you come to your insurance renewal you may well find even though you never made a claim your insurance company will have registered it because you told them about the theft.

Scenario is you get insured with a new company and don't tell them about the theft ( quite understandable as you never made a claim ). You then make a claim for whatever reason and the insurance company refuse to pay out because you didn't disclose the theft to them.

There was a big thing on Watchdog about this last year. Hence the reason the question the insurance companies ask is "Have you had any accidents, losses etc in the last five years".......... Without actually asking you if you have physically made a claim.

Worth giving your current insurance company a call just for peace of mind !!

I should also add that you do have to inform your insurance company anyway, its usually part of the terms!

 

[s4rap]

Yes,good point as my insurance is due in April.I'll keep an eye on that thanks.
